I thought I'd better get something done ahead of the Mansfield Show ( http://www.mansfieldmodelrailway.co.uk ) so last night I made up the triangular piece that fits in the two main boards at the front, covering the cut-aways needed to allow for the curved backscene corners when the layout is packed away. Some Ten Commandments walling mitre bonded to a card and polystyrene base with an initial covering of concrete coloured emulsion.

I've ordered some sheep to place in this little corner field, I'll have one or two escaping through the fallen section of walling with a railway worker trying to shoo then back into the field.

Next I finished off the first pack of DAS clay doing the hardstanding area around the goods shed. I hope the little pack I bought from Eileen's will be enough to finish it off. I have even left out the area where the loading bay platform sits in the goods shed to save clay!

Once it's dry I'll give it a coat of the same emulsion then start weathering etc. I think some weeds etc in the expansion gaps and a couple of puddles in some of the dips I have managed to leave in the clay will do I think
