A few key moments at WMD HQ today. Firstly the tunnel scenic sub-base is just about as finished as I need it to be at the moment. Just a stretch of coping stones to add and some weathering and I will be calling it a day on this for the moment. What goes on top of it is still open to debate, which is a polite way of saying I am not sure yet! It very much depends upon what I do on the next baseboard when I cover the loops at the back of the layout. However a key moment in that it is back in place and despite of my card board butchery of the last few weeks the trains still run through it!
The second key moment is that the bathroom was plastered this morning. The plasterer arrived at 8am and was gone by 11.30am! I have every admiration for those with the skill to plaster. My attempts usually end up as a pile of plaster on the floor or even if it stays on the wall it ends up looking like a lunar landscape! Once the plastering is done you feel as though things have turned that corner where the destruction becomes construction. A key moment indeed! My next key moment will be painting it after it dries. Oh joy! More painting!
