steve fay Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Jon has nearly completed the colour light gantry for the Coryton cliffs section. This is a 1930’s what if version of the gantries installed in the 80’s 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 A new commission under way, this will essentially be a photo plank to photograph finished models. 3’ x 1’ x 8” tall. 50mm thick polystyrene base cut through its centre, I placed the two halves back together and marked the track, I then cut either side of the track at an angle to give the impression that the railway Line has been built up. No flat earth here! Covered first in filler then with decorfill , once dry I’ll PVA then fill again with decorfill. I’ll make up some sides out of 3mm ply to give it a nice finish and paint in with black board paint. This will be a simple scenic finish using mainly static grasses with a few bushes. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) First two lengths of track glued in place, power feeds next then I can glue the polystyrene in place. I had two sheets of slaters stone wall left so these have been glued in place as well. The trees are just for placement they will be replaced by MBR trees.
