Module 1 Ready


Focalplane

blog-0319048001426278733.jpgAs noted yesterday, the lightweight frame needed more bracing to support the flexible polystyrene sheet. This support was added today, as well as bracing ready for joining Module 1 to Module 2. Two metal alignment dowels will be used as well as nuts and bolts.

 

The three photos show the progress so far:

 

1. Completed framework with additional strips to hold pre-existing structures in place:

2. Polystyrene sheet added to frame (it was not cemented when I took the photo):

3. Three structures added but not screwed down:

Not much progress perhaps, but I am taking this slowly and deliberately. I might speed up the process when I tackle the remaining three modules.

 

I have now heard that the OO-SF track gauge is on its way after a few weeks of waiting for stock to be replenished, so I could start on track building next week. Pete Llewellyn at C&L Finescale has been most helpful.

Very neat work, I like how the buildings are nicely embedded in the base. Shadows/gaps beneath buildings can really ruin the impression of a layout, I feel.

Thanks, Mikkel. I should admit that the embedding idea is inherited from steveNCB7754 as he built them that way. For any substantial building it is definitely the right way.
