Good evening all,
I've done a bit of work during the week on the wall and tunnel portal.
The tunnel tube and portal are now glued in place.
The lower extension to the wall as well.
Later once the track has been ballasted, the overhead masts fitted then I will
camouflage the gaps a bit.

Thanks for the thumbs up
Tells me that I'm on the right path.
Small change, I have stepped the top wall extension and glued it down.
Busy with a secondary retaining wall in front now.

Good morning all,
small update. I have widened the track board coming out of the tunnel.
First photo.
Second photo shows the extra retaining wall.

Hi all,
some time ago I had started with the rock section between the walls.
Only as a styrofoam block, but I now cast a few rocks to try and complete this.
First place a few castings in place to get a feel for it.
Pic one.
Then today on the garden bench I fitted these castings with plaster of paris.
Pic two.
Last two pics of the rock formation in place to check for fit.
Still needs some work.

Sorry I had to split the post as the four pics together exceeded the max.  :)

Thanks Evert.
So I have now also fitted rock castings to the other section.

Good morning,
yesterday I still glued in this rock formation.
Last night I then filled in the gabs.
The cling wrap is there to keep the walls clean and to also allow me
to remove the walls again.

I've also spent some time on my freight shed.
Cast in the tracks and a base.
Not really dry yet so have to wait a bit longer.

Hi all,
busy with the corner rock section that needs to stay removable.
Been building up the corners and sanding to fit.

Good morning,
so last night I placed all the parts together to have a look what
it will look like.
Even if I say it myself, but I'm quite happy how this is turning out.  :thumb:
