Although not ready for more photographs I can at least say 'I Think' the answer to one application of plaster cracking was the mix was too dry. I have since added two other applications and these show no sign of cracking.

One is still quite damp as it was deeper to get my landscape profiles, the other mostly embankment sides has dried much faster, but neither show any indication of cracks.

It could of course be that they were added in the garage and did dry slightly slower, but yesterday my garage was like an oven with sun beating down on the roof meaning it probably dried as quickly as if it were outdoors.

Looks good - don't often see railways in cuttings like that and you seem to have got it "just right" there.

I thank you cromptonnut ....

I've still not plastered the far side, as a beginning had to be made on the other end.

Typical for someone who likes working outside, the weather's changed for the worse !!

I believe that natural light makes so much difference to any photo.
