Ruined London Board ( Photobucket links repaired!)

[fastolfrus]

It's for Karl so I'd count on it being there (although he is going to need a bigger van for all these games).

 

A double decker bus might be appropriate.
If he converted the bus to include living accom etc, he could tour...like a 7TV studios version of Summer Holiday

Wow! Great job on the board... Looking forward in following this project.

Love the UFO

Love the detailing

 

Couple of boring questions for you:

Is the baseboard 6mm MDF or thicker?
Do you get much warping or is it braced in some way?
What glue are you using for the plasticard, and do you get any reaction when gluing plasticard onto plasticard?

The MDF is nailed and Pva'd in place. By the time it's nailed to the surface and base board and the sides to each other it's not ever going to move! The plastic card is stuck in place with cheap bostick glue. I found this by accident when I asked my goodlady to bring me home some superglue and I got that instead. But I found it so much better than the superglue for this!


I've had some real trouble with track!! Ogauge seems to be the right size but seems expensive! I thought somebody somewhere might do rail that copies the underground system, but I can't find anything!

 

I've had to settle for this....





...here I've used HO gauge track, ripped it of of the plastic sleepers and used bits of plastic card and sprue to make fixings and insulators. I've still got to clean up each end.

I've also received an order from Antenocities and I've started the sewers as well...





I've also got the edges of the tubes for the sewer to hide/clean up!

Cheers again guys!

Great stuff Andy 

Just a tiny bit of advice, don't use oodles of Bostick (other contact adhesives are available  ) with styrene sheeting as the Bostick is a solvent and can make the styrene warp/bubble.

cheers

top stuff...

Oh Andy dear, this is marvellous!
And I really envy Karl and Graeme for receiving this gorgeous table!

[Mason]

Great additions since I last made my way over here.
It is coming along ever so well.

Without a doubt this is starting to shape up as the best board I have ever seen.
It is, quite, simply, amazing.
All the little details are really adding up.
Love the UFO!
 

[Zwerch mit Ohren!!!]

really nice, looks better and better. I think the ufo is a little bit over the top, but hey, its cool 

One thing i`d like to know, where did you get that momument on the top right corner of the table? Have been looking for tometing like that for a long time.

regards
Zwerch!!!

Is Parabellum in Birmingham still going?  They used to stock S gauge track (approx 1/64).  Not that that looks much like the rails in the Tube, either!  I don't think that anyone's going to complain about your HO stuff, though - we'll all be too busy drooling.

Just gets better and better!

I don't often wander into here, but I just have to say that this is a brilliant project

The rail is looking a lot better.
Sewer is starting to come together

[Thunderchicken]

Coming along nicely Andy. Is the plastic sheeting you're using for the sewers from Antenocitis? I like the uneven look about it. Also how do you hold the plastic sheeting in place when you bend it and glue it? I've got clamps (awaits an amusing quip from Malamute) but they'd be a bugger to use on a board like this.

Jimbibbly, I could have done with that advice a few months ago

This is planned for Salute, but maybe seen out and about early next year - once Andy has had a chance to work on everything of course
