The Upper hill scatters dry760 viewsNow that the scatters are dry, I have taken some pictures. The colours have gone back to what they were before the glue darkened them. The natural light shows the colour variations that using multiple colours of scatters gives you
|
|
Some Scatters (Lower Level)514 viewsI have layed some scatters on the layout aswell.
This is the area around ther river. The colours here are more yellow to reprisent the sand around the river.

The first peice of scenery is that of the powerstation of the previous layout.

Some Scatters (Upper Level)361 viewsI have layed some scatters on the layout aswell.
Here is the area around the upper river. There will be a series of trees around here, and so the grass is slightly greener as the trees incourage the grass to grow.

The Culvert229 viewsThe sand/stone mixture has been glued into the lover culvert to hide the foam inside.
|
|
|
The Rear of the PS218 viewsThis is where the track will exit. The whole back of the powerstation will be buried in the scenery, so this hole doesn't need to be neat.
|
|
The First Peice of Track210 viewsI managed to aquire a pair of New Code 55 slip switches for £30, which has saved me quite a bit on the £54 it would cost from a store.
Here we see the Double Slip in position. There will have to be a track bed as the foam is not carved flate enough - hence why some has been carved out here. Holes have also been made for point motors.
|
|
|
The New River Bed206 viewsThe sandstone mix was spread out into the gorge and then a channel brushed through. The whole thing was then sprayed with watered down glue to bind it all together.
|
|
|
An Attempt at a River Bed205 viewsI have attempted to make a river bed by glueing fish tank sand onto the river. However i think this looks terrible, and all I have acheived is a solid block of sand paper that i cant cut through >___<
|
|
|
From Below205 viewsA photo taken up through the hole carved for point motors. The holes are alot deeper than they need to be for wiring purposes.
|
|
|
The Front Hill203 viewsI have carved the expanding foam into the approximate profile of the front hill.
|
|
|
The Rear of the Powerstation201 viewsAfter carving an hole in the back of the powerstation, I have attached a foam block which will be used to support the substation which will be kitbashed on to it.

Into the Mine199 viewsHere is where the other slip switch resides. It can just be seen in the distance.
