About product

Ballast size 0 - Gray-brown chert, a 1 kg package

This is not a kit but a loose scenic material. The package contains crushed natural stone sieved to a single size fraction. It is used as a ballast bed under track, as the surface of field and unpaved roads, as material for embankments or as a base for terrain work on a diorama. Chert is a hard sedimentary rock; in this form it has a gray-brown, mildly warm tone that sits well with the usual shades of dust and earth and does not look as contrasting in a scene as dark volcanic rock.

Grain size

The designation size 0 refers to the size range in which the manufacturer grades its stone. The range begins with fine dusts and ends with coarser fractions; size 0 belongs to the coarser steps and suits anywhere the individual grain is meant to read clearly in a finished scene. The one-kilogram package is intended for larger areas, longer stretches of track or for builders who need the same shade repeatedly.

Use

  • Level the base, pour the material on and spread it with a soft brush into an even layer.
  • Before fixing, dampen the area lightly with soapy water so that the glue runs in better.
  • Fix it with thinned PVA glue or with an agent intended for scenic materials.
  • Once dry, fine-tune the tone with thinned paints, washes and pigments and blend it in with the surrounding terrain.

Who the material is for

For builders of dioramas, cabinet scenes and railroad layouts, and for modelers who want to stand a model on real stone. The material is not tied to one scale; what decides is the grain size relative to the model.

A natural material. Keep out of the reach of small children, and do not breathe in the dust while decanting it or sanding a fixed layer.

FAQ

Only in grain size. The finer steps of the range read as dust and fine gravel, while size 0 belongs to the coarser ones and the individual grains stay legible in a scene.

The shade comes from the natural stone, so batches may differ slightly. It can be fine-tuned with thinned paints and pigments once it has been fixed.

Dampen the area with soapy water and flood it with thinned PVA glue. Once dry the layer holds and stays matte.

Consumption depends on the thickness of the layer and on the area. The one-kilogram package is intended for larger scenes and longer stretches of track.
