I have used unscented  kitty litter (clean) for 1/35 rubble. 

 

Fish tank gravel.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

You Know _

      We are always looking for that odd tool that will make our jobs easier. Especially if it's free ! I needed a tool to etch grooves in a thin sheet of balsa for a Deck. Now the scale was small enough that I heeded a smaller tip than an X-Acto actually has .

      Enter my cat ! If you have one that has NOT had her fingertips removed ( That's what De-Clawing entails .Removal to the first Knuckle! ).Then she can help . They ( Cats ) do lose those little arcs of defense on occasion .( That is why I use a flat scratching device for Sam. ) She uses it faithfully and then plays afterward.

      While she is playing, I harvest those little curved weapons left behind in the scratching Media . They , Attached to a skewer with super glue or epoxy make great Light Duty Engraving tools for little jobs .And the Cat lets me have them Free !  T.B.  

 

Like these ya mean?

If you get the opportunity, porcupine quills work well too.  One deceased porky, (usually splattered all over the road) will give you enough quills for a lifetime as they are surprisingly durable.  I have even etched metals with them with some success.

Brilliant!  Absolutely brilliant!  I would have never thought of that.
