Back to model making!

 Time to get back to some modelling as it did rain today! Still didn't get much done as there were indoor jobs to do on Mrs. woody's list! However, I did get some more done on the platform for my 00 gauge layout. Something that you see attached to most platform sides are electrical cables but rarely modelled so that was my challenge today. I had some thin black cable salvaged from a defunct electrical appliance and although not long enough to go the full length of the platform I had a plan!

First off I needed some supports to attach the cables to - just like the real thing! I cut 5mm lengths of sme plastic rod from the WMD stock of such things and super glued these at 25mm gaps - roughly 6 feet in old money,

My plan to cover the joints in the wires was to make a dummy joint box. Some angled plastic strip did the job.

Painted balck they blended in.

Tempoarily putting the platform in place it looks good - in my view anyway!

Just needs the top surafce gluing on and some weathering - I wonder if it will rain tomorrow!
