8 hours left and the Landford Exhibition

Well as the title suggests I've got 8 hours* to finish the layout ready for the Landford Exhibition tomorrow.

Loads more to do but I'm sure we'll get there. I've had the whole family helping me for the final push - something I did not expect!

 

So here are some preview photos to show where I'm up to. Once the rest of the castle is scribed I'll be even more confident than I am now.

All images clickable for larger size.

I appreciate the photos show up a lot of gaps and imperfections but these will all be tidied up!

Exhibition at Landford, Sept 4th 2010

See you there!!

Very nearly!

Just finished most of the vegetation but need to paint a wash of grey on the castle and a bit of green on the slipway.

Looking forward to seeing the progress at Landford later this morning!

Congratulations on your first show with Clashot MK II.

Having now seen Calshot MK II in the flesh, I have to say that I am impressed! :mellow: In the two weeks since I last saw it (naked with no scenery) you've worked hard and achieved a great result and framed it well with the pelmet - Well Done!!

 

It's a pity that your work on the sluice gate is now hidden, but your Dad's idea of using mirror tiles at that point is a good one.

 

As always, I look forward to hearing about the continued progress and to seeing the layout at its next show.

Thanks John! biggrin.gif

It was definitely well worth the effort!

I will definitely try out the mirror idea. I'm also thinking of adding something to disguise the scenic exit and also perhaps add more NG to form a circle with a larger fiddle yard.

I'm looking forward to getting the layout up to a proper exhibition standard. I feel a spending spree may be necessary!

 

Next show may well be Exbury... I'll keep you all posted!
