Hardshell for the hill and farm road
In this view I have added the plaster cloth for the hilltop and finished paving the road. The road is paved with Woodland Scenics Smooth-It, a thin plaster mix that is poured between two strips of WS paving tape. I first used their Asphalt color mix, but it was way too black, so I went back over the roads and used a mixture of gray latex paint, a little water, some Smooth-It plaster to give it some texture, and a bit of Asphalt color until I had a dull, dark gray that better resembles a well-used roadway. The narrow road to the lower right leads the grain elevator, feed mill, and a future stockyard.
