Como os comentamos en la entrada anterior, una vez enmasillados los tres módulos de río y parte de la colina. Empezamos a preparar los moldes que teníamos de Noch con diferfentes tipos de formaciones rocosas y distintos tamaños. La idea es poder cubrir las zonas de laderas abruptas, acantilados y zonas pedregosas con estos moldes para dar una apariencia más realista a todo el conjunto.
As we discussed in the previous entry, once the river modules (and part of the hill) have been properly covered in putty we casted several rocky outcrops from our Noch's molds for covering steep slopes, cliffs and rocky areas in general so we can bring more realism to the whole set.

Mientras esperábamos que las moldadas de rocas se secaran del todo, decidimos dar un poco más de textura a algunas zonas de los módulos de río. Para ello, nos decidimos por un par de zonas de tierra labrada. Una opción que ya usamos en la Wave 1 en una de las piezas, es sencilla y da un resultado muy bueno.
As the new rocks were drying, we decided to give some more texture to several areas of the river modules. In order to do so we implemented a couple of tillage fields as we did back during Wave 1. Simple and effective.

Y si, es lo que parece, espaguetis. Marcamos la zona del campo que queremos hacer como terreno labrado. Es este caso, un rectángulo en un lado del río y una zona menos geométrica al otro lado. Luego separamos el interior con líneas cada 0.5cm y pegamos un espagueti en cada una de las líneas.
Yes, they are spaguetti. After marking the area to be tilled (a rectangle near the river and a less geometrical zone in the opposite side) we separated the interior with 0,5cm between spaguetti and glued them to the lines.

Una vez seca la cola blanca, con unos alicates de corte, retiramos el exceso de espaguetis y ya podemos cubrir toda la zona con una capa fina de aguaplas, para terminar de dar textura.
Once the glue dryed we eliminated the excess of spaguetti with pliers and coverd the wholething with a thin aquaplast layer to provide the proper texture.

Una vez desmoldadas las piedras, empezamos a colocarlas en los márgenes del río y las zonas de colina que caen a plomo. La idea es ir colocando de forma que las piedras más grandes vayan encajando entre ellas lo mejor posible y utilizar trozos de piedra más pequeños para terminar de rellenar los huecos más grandes.
Once the rock were out of their molds we put them in the river's bedsides and the most vertical slopes of the hills. The idea is to insert the bigger ones so they fit as good as possible and then use the smaller ones to fill the gaps between them.

Una vez se ha secado la cola blanca, hemos usado un mezcla de aguaplas con agua (50-50 aprox) para hacer una pasta muy liquida con la que terminar de sellar las grietas, juntas y espacios donde no hubiésemos podido poner piedras. Luego toca dejar que todo el conjunto seque, por si hay que repasar en algún punto.
Once the glue has dryed we used a mix of aquaplast with water (50% each) to create a very liquid paste able to seal the leftover cracks, joints and empty spaces. Then we just waited for all to dry.

Ahora toca empezar con las pinturas. Para el color general, hemos escogido un marrón de Acrílicos Vallejo, tipo marrón Sombra Tostada, que ya usamos para los primeros módulos, así, los colores serán homogéneos. Para las piedras, tras mirar varios vídeos de modelismo ferroviario, nos hemos decido a probar los Pigmentos Líquidos de Noch
After all that work is time for the paints! For the general colour we chose one of Vallejo Acrylics brown, Toasted Shadow (ad hoc translation, I have no idea if it is called like that in English). This is the same we used in our previous modules, so the whole set reamins homogeneous. For the stones we settled with Noch's Liquid Pigments after watching several railway modellism tutorials.

¡¡Esto va tomando forma!! Para el próximo día, tocará seguir con las luces de las piedras que ya hemos pintado, con las zonas rocosas del río (que usaremos otros pigmentos y colores) y terminar las zonas pedregosas de la colina. Dar las Gracias a Eduard por las moldadas que nos pasó para la colina, a Jordi, Antonio y Sergi por el trabajazo.
For the next day we are going to finish the lights of the already painted stones as well as the riverside rocks (with another batch of pigments and colours) and finishing the rocky sides of the hill. Special thanks to Eduard for his molds and to Antonio, Sergi and Jordi for the hard work!
