Add Black Tar to a Scene

Marcel, a member of the Online Model Train Club for 3 years, sent in this tip to share:

“It’s the little details that can add authenticity to a model railroad scene – like a few little scratches, some random graffiti, some rust marks, water stains, oil stains, aged peeling paintwork etc. One little trick I discovered is adding black tar in a few spots such as at the bottom of a chimney. I mix some dark gray (or black) paint with some white glue to make the tar. I then apply it dribbling it off a piece of wire.”
