Well... It's like this...
I have three spaces on the track were there should be sandboxes... well... I did my first one (the biggest one) last night and this is what I did. I painted the foam in a kind of sahara sand beige... and when the paint was still very wet... I gently poured real sand over it... so the sand sticks in the paint... and I must say... the result looks very good...
BUT...
Off course not every grain of sand sticks in the paint... you see the top layer is loose on the paint... Well... if the cars go off the track... we will see spectacular things I think... but there will be eventually sand inside the cars...
Now... what can I do? I allready thought about it to spray a thick layer of hair lacquer on top of it... so the sand would lay under the lacquer and stay where it belongs...
You guys think it'll work? If you think it wouldn't work... what did you guys use for your sandboxes?
Questions, questions, questions...
