Fen End Pit - steps and duck boards


Fen End Pit

A couple more details over the last few days. The washer plant needed some steps to reach up to the cat walk. I decided to try and 3d print some treads and thread them onto some rod.

Also, a few years back while visiting Orford Ness in Suffolk I found some ex-military steel duck-boarding which I thought would be nice to model. With lots of holes and ribs this one really did lend itself to 3d modelling and printing. With a coat of 'Scenic Rust' I think they rather look the part. The spare drag-line bucket also got the rust treatment.

It is called peritrack and was used to make perimeter tracks on airfields during WW2 so plenty knocking about in East Anglia.

Glad it was recognizable!
