Thank you for the comments chaps.

Rabbitz, here's a couple of pics I haven't used in this thread as they are poor quality. With one of the walls I'll overlap the brick sheets on both sides by the thickness of the foamed PVC sheets I use for the main structure (in this case 3mm).

With the wall I'm going to connect to it I'll just stick the brick sheets flush with the edges as no overlap is needed. When I fit the two sections together this wall section will fit into the overlap. There will be a tiny gap left but some filler sorts that out.

Here's a very crude diagram which probably explains my babbling more clearly:

Clear as mud?

Thanks very much, that is so logical, doh

Also what kind of glue are you using to stick the brick sheets to the foamed PVC? have tried a few different ones myself but find they don't stay stuck

Oops, sorry forgot to answer that bit. I originally used Copydex until one of our learned LAFers pointed out it has a relatively short life span so now I use epoxy such as Araldite or good old contact adhesive such as Super Glue (or one of it's many cheaper rivals which are just as effective). Whichever one I use I put plenty on! What glue have you been using?

Thanks. That's really helpful.

I have tried PVA and a spray contact edehsive. . I guess the crazy 40 degree heat here half the time does not help matters

Excellent work TC

Now, what you need to go with this is a hoarding advertising the Necropolis Railway:

Any more progress with this build?
This and the Japanese on Mars thread are the only things that keep my work days sane.

Oodles of apologies for the lack of progress but a heavy workload and exams are keeping me away from the workbench and LAF at the mo

It's looking excellent Neil- that must be some table that you've got now; what size of board can you fill?

Still studying with the OU?

Cheers

Thanks matey, been a while since we caught up. I've graduated and start teaching in September. It's been a hard slog but nearly there

Well done Neil!

What will you be teaching?

Oodles of apologies for the delay! There have been a few problems with the builders not turning up, the wrong type of cement, and the Planning Inspector wasn't happy with one of the retaining walls (that and a wee sabbatical from the hobby

). Normal service is resuming.
