Last update before Scaleforum

(From John) - some more progress. Much experimenting on the mortar course 'grouting' was done under the guidance of Tim Maddocks. Several paint combinations/types and finally Games Workshop 'Citadel' acrylics came out as the most user friendly and best for speed of application/process, considering the amount that has to be done!

 

The resin cast corbels are only temporarily attached and are to be replaced with ones from Shapeways 3D printed ones in due course.

The top structures in grey primer prior to being finished with a beige colour to represent the Caen stone.

(From Rod) - these are probably the last photos before Scaleforum in (gulp) three weeks time (well we have to leave something in anticipation!). Just to add to John's photos here are some showing the early stages of terraforming and a bit more detail appearing on the balustrades - still in workshop photographic grey - in the form of limewood strip to represent the coping.

 

At this (London) end the viaduct continues onto an embankment before rejoining the background topography; at the Brighton end the land rises more gradually from the valley floor to the higher ground to the south.

Always a pleasure to cross this viaduct when I go back to see my folks...

Not at all Pete - even though Moorswater is smaller in scale and scope it's still a cracking model. In fact doing it in 2mm makes it more impressive.
