Modeling Ties

This diorama for Brian Smith was complete when I read an article in RMC about detailing used ties. I did a few ties this way and applied them off to the side of the siding as seen here.

If one looked through the June issue of RMC one would have noted an article on detailing used ties. I gave it a try and really like the final appearance. Basically one just files into the tie a couple of passes then make a few spike holes followed by a rusty application over the area...George Dutka   

Two ties have grooves applied and spike holes. The siding has just some rusty Bragdon powders in the area of the tie plates.
