Perhaps better, an overgrown bank leading up to the bridge, with bushes, brambles, and so on? That's how @chuffinghellmanaged it on Warren Branch, adding a tall but not over mature tree at the top of the bank, disguising both bridge abutment and the road that goes nowhere in one. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted September 11, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2022 Using 3mm black foamex PVC I made up a fascia panel for Llanyblod today. Fairly quick and easy work with a sharp knife, which went straight through the cutting mat and into my partners coffee table. Jay 11 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted September 11, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2022 Happy to report both me and the layout are still in one piece. I have created a job list to get to ‘the end’ of Llanyblod and this will be chipped away at alongside the more long term project Middleton Top. More work on the bridge has commenced in the form of a DAS road surface and I’m now waiting for that to dry. I may even get round to making the removable lid and lighting unit this week.

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted September 15, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2022 On @NHY 581’s recommendation I’ve extended the foliage to disguise the join between the over bridge and back scene. Funny how a photo highlights a multitude of jobs to be done and this one produces an extensive ‘to-do’ list! Jay 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That looks very natural now, Rob's advice was bang on there. You only have to look at the overbridges on Little Muddle and Warren Branch to name just two to see how a clump of trees in that position can disguise the edge of the world. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted October 10, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2022 Added some more grass to the loop today. Just doing a little bit at a time till I get to a point where it looks over grown but not too much. The image below illustrates the vibe but I’m not sure it’s wise to make my main running line quite so unkempt! Jay 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Not too overgrown yet... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Admittedly, Horderley was at the "Pass me the banjo Elly Mae..." level of overgrown, but one of us will build a model inspired by it before long I'm sure. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post JustinDean Posted October 12, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2022 Layered in some WWS 6mm Winter. I’m not adding loads on each layer, just building in small amounts so the difference between photos I’ve been posting is quite subtle. I’m liking the grass overtaking ballast effect here so I’m stopping at this point (gotta go to work!) and ill re-assess later. Here’s a couple of different views.

RMweb Gold Popular Post JustinDean Posted October 21, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 Lid and light have been fitted to Llanyblod. The light is a B&Q under cupboard LED strip which has a cover, nicely diffusing the harshness of the LEDs. Cost about £20. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
