Brown Fine Woodland Scenics Ballast, applied like normal. Once try the mid effect is added by hand and rubbed into the rails 50/50 Brown Woodfiller and PVA, plus a splash of brown acrylic.

SDJR7F88 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 The third instalment on the construction of "Argonne Forest" my WW1 Micro Layout built in a Hotel Room! In this update e take a look a the track work, which has been laid and ballasted. The cobble sheet which were painted in the previous update, have been cut and put into position. I also experiment with the construction of the planned bunkers, using my own photographs to create a sense of depth. Hope you enjoy! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Making more mess in the Hotel Room this evening, cutting and shaping polystyrene installation board to build-up the landforms. Once cut to size, I glued the sections into position. Once dry, they will be shaped further. Hopefully room cleaning won't find to much mess... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Coming on nicely Callum. I think it's great you haven't stopped your modelling even though you've no space at all really. Do the hotel staff know what your building, just wondered if they've taken any interest? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Let there be light! Added LED to the Bunkers, which give the effect of oil lamps. So pleased with how the scene blends into the backscene. Other details this evening include the addition of the bunker doors and rock faces around the layout. Interior detail will be next on the cards. 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
