Alternatively, a light layer of plaster and vinyl glue can be applied to the inside of the tunnel. To be sanded once dry.

Painting
Painting can be done with opaque acrylic colours. A dark gray color is recommended.
Subsequent passes can be carried out with various highlighting techniques to highlight flows of water and moss in order to dirty and make the painting less uniform.
