My LHS supplies just what you describe, black sand (also black powder). ~$5 CAN for a small bag of it, ~$15 CAN for a 1 litre size bottle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070756.page GMT Modelling sand http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070825.page GMT Modelling sand http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3070895.page GMT Modelling sand
I never liked the look of real(unpainted) sand on my minis anyways..there is something about it that looks wrong to me...*shrugs* O well..lol Good luck there bub!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3071801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3071801.page GMT Modelling sand I never really thought about railroad modelling or ash trays. I'll have to look at both. And I know it sounds obvious to use sand and black paint, I just wanted to see if there were alternatives that looked more "genuine", I guess.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3071810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3071810.page GMT Modelling sand http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3072280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3072280.page GMT Modelling sand

I fully agree with this sentiment. Although, I always found it funny that I would take a real life rock, put it on a base, then paint it to make it look like a rock.

Painted rocks allways look better than real-life ones! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3072585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/382975/3072585.page GMT
