I'd tried several different ideas for producing the tapered GSM-R mast, but wasn't really happy with the results. Either there wasn't enough taper, or it wasn't possible to get a consistent taper. What I hadn't realised was the answer was sat in the tool box the whole time......

After running a scalpel blade along the length of the plastic brush handle a few times it created representation of the flats on the real mast, and tapers just nicely.

All that remains to do now is fit the transmitters, ladder and other small details. Sometimes the obvious solutions are not so obvious!

Meanwhile, the associated cabinet is progressing nicely:

Now I’m happy with the mast I can crack on with getting this scene finished and move back to the building site area.

Cheers,

Tom.
