Finished the Stormwater Catch Basin

Well, this project certainly took a while. Anyway, I started off by digging into the foam with my hot knife and then filling in all the "oopses" with patching plaster. When that dried, I painted everything raw umber.

After the paint dried, I applied turf to the slope and planted varying shades of Woodland Scenics field grass.

I also thought it would be funny to have drums leaking toxic waste. The drums came with one of my old Alloy Forms kits. I painted them Floquil "coach green" on the outside and "rust" on the inside. The leaking toxic waste is some luminous pain I got down at Walmart.

I painted the culver Testors "Flat Light Aircraft Grey" and stuck it in. My original idea was to place another culvert on the other side of the tracks and have it connected to a drainage ditch. However, I noticed most catch basis simply have an inlet pipe and that's it. So I eschewed the drainage ditch.

Lastly, I added some Woodland Scenics Talus to the culvert, used masking tape along the sides and poured some Mod Podge Gloss Medium for water.

All in all, I think it turned out pretty decent. All that's left for Johnstown now is utility poles and a few more trees. I am bound and determined to have it done by October.
