Realistic Diorama

Hey Guys.
I just opened my Fujimi Garage kits that I purchased. I don't like the floor material that is provided, nor do I like the wall stuff either. I was wondering what would be a good, effective and easy way to attach a realistic look on the floor and maybe even the walls?

Go to a model train shop and they'll most likley have some good floor material, I've seen the material, it's realistic looking, good luck!!! :D

Ditto the railroad idea... maybe even a giant sheet of sand paper... What type of texture are you going for?

Jay, I was thinking something along the lines of concrete floor. Sandpaper might work but what grit should I use? What about oil stains? How would I simulate realistic oil stains and other dirt marks.

for the floor id get sum foam boardspray it a grey color then rub sum black chalk on a peice of sand paper then apply on the foam bord where u want it then seal the whole thing. use foam board for the walls also if u want us can spread a thin layer of putty over it and scribe in sum bricks then pait as u desire. if u want some windows or u can easily make some out of scrap sheet styrene

here are some scans of the 1/24 Great Garage kit walls you can print
out on photo quality paper for the best look.
