Hey here is a good idea, i just recently decided to look at how to make a fingerboard and he used veneer as a mini plywood so what you could do seeing how plywood is flexible is sanding down the ramp and then adding plywood to make it look real then add some stickers! ;)

I think this is a great start, but it needs some work. I agree with Noodle, you need to sand it down so it's even, and after that you need to fill the spots that have cracks, either with more plaster or with Bondo. Then you'd need to paint it or apply decals, and finish the edges somehow. Like I said, you're doing great, but it needs more work.

The whole thing. It's uneven all around. There's raised ridges on everything. Sand it down with progressively finer sandpaper (probably like 100 grit to start then work your way down to 600 or something). Then the whole thing will be smooth. Like I said, even after that I think it needs paint or decorations, even if you just paint it a light, flat gray to look like cement.

You could also sand back the ramp to make the plaster smoother ;)
