Kevin, it could be crushed limestone. It is some HO ballast I picked up from Arizona Mineral and Ballast. Nice stuff. I mixed it in with some dirt to ballast my layout.
i wonder why i never though of using that for scale gravel. i've thought about smashing woodland scenics n scale ballast with a 2lb maul, but it never occured to me to use crushed limestone. DING
This build is moving into the final stages. The scene has been populated. I'll add some finishing touches here and there then prepare it for power and the case.
The guy in the last pic failed to beware of dog.

where do you find your lp's, and do you perform any surgery on them to get them into the poses? are they resin or pewter?
they always look so appropriate on your builds, almost as if they were specially made for you.
Brett, I will send some once I finish up.
Kevin, the figures in this dio come from MK35, Czech Master, and the dogs came from Mantis. They are all resin. Funny you would say they are specially made. When I saw the "Beware of Dog" sign on the first post that Brett did on this kit it reminded me of the guy scraping dog poo off of his shoe. That made me chuckle and I knew I had to incorporate that scene. Were they made for me? I just periodically look around for interesting figures and think about how I can make them work into a scene that I would like to create.
I have many figures laying around now that I am dying to put into a scene. For example: there is an old dude sitting back in a chair. I thought he would look good in front of the gas pump here waiting on the next customer. He didn't make the cut, but I will find a place for him in another build and it will probably be underneath the umbrella that came with the Toppins truck.
thanks for the info. i get emails from them all the time, but always felt their figures were too "european" looking. i'll obviously have to reconsider.

i don't have anything against europeans, my grandparents were europeans. but even my grandparents dressed in "american" clothes.
ya know what? never mind.
