I used Iso - propyl alcohol for thinning paint, and recently went to my pharmacist for another bottle ...... apparently it has been removed from pharmacist's supplies due to someone taking a liking to drinking it !!!!!!!!

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but hopefully it will save a wasted trip looking for it.

Will defo use the method above.. cheers

Have a look at the woodland scenics range of ballast for shades/colours and grading of ballast from fine to course, more variance can be achieved adding more realism intermixing the range.
