LAYING THE GROUNDWORK.

 Shed scene almost ready.

The track has been ballasted and weathered, the backscene installed and the low relief buildings added. A start has also been made on the scenic foreground and the concrete hardstanding on which the sheds will stand. Formed simply from thick mounting card, the airbrush and acrylic paints have created the necessary textures and colouring to depict sections of cast concrete. The inspection pits have also been treated to the 'concrete' treatment, looking rather murky in their depths.

The fuelling point needs assembling, followed by a wealth of smaller details in and around the shed buildings, including a loco jacked-up and being stripped for spares...
