Small Scenic test-piece: full size templot plan & making a start on seawall
a bit of a problem getting decent pics in this small scale, suppose I will get used to it!
- the goodshed will be on a plinth/platform which will make it correct height, just checking clearances here.
Sea wall progress- foamboard or plywood has been used for support on top of which is Slaters 4mm dressed stone, I've gone a scale up to get those 'big stones' effects you get with large sea walls. The gaps are slowly being filled with scrap polystyrene and/or pink foam - messy! need the vacuum close by...
Onced finished the joins were tidied up in the plasticard, handy to keep an eye on this as they can move a little as the glue goes off, the glue drying is speeded up by leaning the whole board end on up against the radiator, once glue is dry any gaps in plasticard can be gone over with a little pva or filla according to size of gap.
Need some ideas now for constructing the train shed, probably the largest & most complex building to be done!
-any suggestions of sources of good pictures or even plans would be great, even the similar ona at Macduff would do, as there is no way in either trackplan or scenics that this will be a faithful reproduction of Banff, its just 'Banff-themed'
Buchan Bay is an idea I've had for a name but don't know if it'll stick! - or maybe Port Buchan.
