The Battle for New Victoria,Mars 20th April 1889 (A Salute Photo report)

[maxxev]

I loved the look of this table at Salute, well well done.

Can you tell me please, did you manage to get hold of some oversized sheets of plastic card somewhere or are they just two sheets joined together, because they look bigger than the A4 ish sheets I have here if they are not joined (and if they are, where did you get them, if they are just joined, good work!!)

Which styrene are you referring to?

I think he means the Wills dressed stone. I have to agree that getting it to match up across multiple sheets is a pain.

The only place where I had to match it is the canal sections and most of the is underwater so you don't see it anyway 

All of the wall/viaduct sections are just under the sheet width so no matching was needed although it does mean short sections, but conversely it does mean easy storage

You've managed to get the courses level on each section though which is a feat in itself. The sheets I've used have never even been straight! I've had to trim the edges to make it level and then getting the irregular courses to match up as well.....

I just used riveted metal strips to cover joins.

It does mean a lot of left over strips of between two to seven courses but they have proved useful for other projects and the canal of course.
