Sorry mate, only just caught up with thread again. Roof answer is below

The roof itself is a four part resin cast of a single facet. The eighth master was made from MDF (hand cut) at uni over 13 years ago. The master was moulded, I then cast four which got stuck together as they were going to be the rear roof of a pleasure neff (I was even doing it back then to some extent) but it didn't get that far unfortunately. I'll cast this four part master after I've tidied it up somewhat

The whole project will be under review in the coming weeks so it can be seen what to do for Salute, not too much hopefully but you know how these things go

cheers

Instead of lots of little pointless posts I waited until there was something decent to show and this takes the form of another completed viaduct section, nearly complete train and another wip viaduct section

Blurry train pictures first. Need highlighting and weathering to be done and then I'll take better pictures.

And now the slightly blurry pictures of the signal station on the viaduct. The flag is removeable just in case someone else wants to look after the railway for a bit

And finally the wip section built on a small mesa.

More to come in the following weeks as I start back at work next week and will have access to the laser

cheers

Now that's coming along wonderfully.

Any thoughts on how you'll do the rails yet?

Svennn · « **Reply #863 on:** 28 January 2014, 08:26:21 AM »

All nice additions Jimbob. Liking the mesa, I take it you coloured the corners to mask the edges of the stonework when it goes on top?

Great stuff, Can't wait to see it set up in its entirity

Totally crazy, Jim, you're a genius

Many thanks chaps

Quite a few and the experimentation starts next week

Nah, it's a lasered edge, the corners of the stonework are blended with liquid greenstuff and although it takes a couple of goes (the bloody stuff shrinks

) it's the best solution I've found so far.

I'll get some more out of the cupboard later this week as I need to see how much more there is to do.

cheers

Nice work James.
Still it grows!

Dr. The Viking · « **Reply #868 on:** 28 January 2014, 09:11:27 AM »

Very nice James!!!

Mason · « **Reply #869 on:** 28 January 2014, 12:08:50 PM »

Bloody brilliant, mate.
Love the colours, that green contrasts lovely with the stonework.
Great idea with the mesa, adds a nice bit of variety to the build.

The crazy thing is it continues to grow, (at a much better rate than Crossrail too, by the looks of it!).
Will you be needing a bigger table at Salute this year?
Only asking as, if that is so, the Union will need to be informed as it will soon become a two-man-job, holding up the larger backdrop for this.
