Foster Street - Hiding Baseboard Joint - OR - Is a glass half Empty of Half Full
Well I don't believe it, (do not call me Victor)I have actually managed to get a little free time to work on the layout, with no interruptions.
As you may recall, Foster Street is made up of three baseboards, which means two baseboard joints, one at the urban end of the layout and one in the country end of the layout. One of the things I don't like about moveable layouts is the gaps between sections, so on Foster Street I decided to hide one with a road bridge.
The problem I have is that although I am a soldering God, its not the tidiest ever, so even more reason to hide it, there is still a little soldering to do and a little more ballasting when this is completed up to the board edges but that wont take long (its been 12 months already)
So it was time to open up the tool box and get my all time favourite tool close to hand, NO NOT SUPERGLUE It also shows in the background yet another project I have on the go at the moment, I really must finish them.
Before I got to work I contemplated the well know question, is the glass empty or half full, and I discovered the answer that has had people perplexed for years. ITS HALF EMPTY SO QUICKLY FILL IT UP AGAIN!!!
The first thing I did was to replicate a track crossing, using my second favourite tool, yes good old fashioned superglue.
I then looked at the area in the goods yard near the wood merchants, and thought it needed an office, so I thought if I put the office under the bridge it might help to take the eye away from the joint, and maybe look interesting. This liquid Black stuff is brilliant for the old inventive process.
A few minutes, well it seemed like a few minutes later and I had it glued to the bottom of the bridge, so it pops when this unit is lifted off. All this creative work has given me a monster headache, so I'm off for a lie down, until next time as ever Happy Modelling
