Over the weekend I did some research on what people do to cover up the pink foamboard. Turns out that there are many opinions on this subject but the majority seem to paint the foam either a green or a brown. DOP and I decided to go with a base of dirt which means brown. One forum had a post suggesting a "nutmeg" brown was a good generic dirt but dirt color varies by region so the color you choose should match the region you are modeling. We don't really have a region so "nutmeg" brown seemed as good a choice as any. As luck would have it, I was in the local Menards and passed through the paint aisle and this caught my eye:
So I picked up a quart of Rustoleum nutmeg brown and stone gray and brought the paint into work the next day. The gray would be good for the frame and the brown for the foam board. They may come in handy for scenery later on.
DOP had some free time today and decided to paint the table. I filled the nail holes and DOP applied the brown and gray paints. The table looks good. I think we have a solid base to build on.
The track is suppose to be delivered in a couple days. Maybe we will get to construct the track plan this weekend.
