Pete so the beast grows looking good though I would recomend you get the domestic authorities back onside !

Pete, that really will have the effect of a train in the landscape once finished... impressive once assembled... and whilst there's evidently quite a task ahead of you, it's good to know that its progressing ... looking forward to seeing this running one day

Chocolates and flowers may save this one 'offence' - but it'll probably take a fortnights cruise around the Med if you want to keep the layout up for any length of time...

 

I love the clean lines and simplicity of the layout, but I guess you have a major job in front of you with that backscene - are you an artist per chance?

 

Keep it coming (even if it costs a fortune in domestic reparations)

 

Steve

That looks good Pete.

Nick - Thanks - Actually, my wife is pretty cool about it all...having two young boys also helps, as they love to see the layout...and prod and poke it

 

Jon - Thanks also - Perhaps another 2 years work on it (I average one, sometimes two evenings per week of modelling) will bring it to 5 years since it was started.

 

Steve - Many thanks - It's gone past the chocolates and flowers stage I feel...Am no Artist either...most of the backscene will be sky and I will probably use a photoshop'd image below it to hint at landscape - I do need to plant about 50-75 trees in front of it too, which may help give a sense of depth.

 

Kris - Many thanks...I took a leaf out of your book in terms of erecting the whole layout and testing the temperature of the water

Looking very good, Pete.

 

Hope to see more progress soon and hopefully, at some point in the future, the layout in the flesh!

 

Keep it up.

 

Cheers

Tony - Thanks - When I see it in its entirety like that, it seems absurd to try and fly it back to the UK...but, I keep that as a goal as its unlikely to ever get exhibited in Spain...can't compete with Barca
