Jigs and batches

Nice to see that we have passed the 10000 views mark :D - we appreciate the interest.

 

Here are the two prototype 3d-printed corbels loosely in place on one of the viaduct sections. Just the job, although I can see we may have to face the edge of the track base with plasticard strip to disguise the lamination join - or fill it with something prior to painting.

Yesterday John made up a jig from some bits of brass in his scrap box which enables the accurate trimming of the pier apertures for cladding. Inevitably on a build like this improvements are being made all the time as we progress, to the point where probably no two piers have been built exactly the same way!. Hopefully this won't detract from the overall appearance at the end.

Meanwhile I got on with batchbuilding the remaining seven pavilions.

Here are four of them in various stages of completion loosely plonked on the appropriate track bed board.

Interesting to note that despite some components being bought-in from bespoking suppliers, there is still an enormous modelling task involved in assembly to the required standard, and enabling the desired level of finish. 10k views of such a dramatic endeavour seems entirely reasonable - there will be a lot more as construction proceeds, because most of us ain't seen anything like it!
