Cheddar P4 - December 2019 update

After an enjoyable day at the EMGS AGM in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, I felt suitably enthused about starting terraforming around the station building. It’s no where near finished yet but is at a state where I could form the socket it’s going to sit in. I’m using layers of 5mm craft foam (extruded polystyrene sheet) to work but the subtle changes I need. The slight compression I had to adopt in the yards makes things a little more interesting but nothing insurmountable. I’m really liking how it’s looking though there’s still a lot more to do. Couldn’t resist taking a few snaps.

the building is coming on. The rear facing walls have had a layer of filler rubbed into the mortar courses and a few washes applied. Still need to dry brush some lighter colour back into the wall face though.

Coming along nicely.  What’s the source of the blue foam you have used for your platforms?  Looks like just what I need to do the down platform on Brent (which will be curved on one side)

Thanks. The 15mm craft foam is from panel systems. A box goes a long way! Same source as the grey 5mm stuff.

Really coming together now, very inspiring. Nice use of the blue foam, it's a great material for a variety of purposes, also for scribing.

 

(edited as I was confusing Panel Systems with someone else :rolleyes:)

It's the same stuff that your Pendon scenic workpiece is made of. :good:
