There are still two more scenic sub-bases to construct on my Last Great Project 00 gauge layout. Having now got some motivation to finish these I have started the second to last one. In my usual construction method, mounting card has been cut to shape to make a 'box' into which which the polystyrene can be glues and later shaped.
As can be seen it is a bit of a strange shape which tested the powers of my measuring skills hence the various pencil marks denoting my various attempts at getting it right!
However, it does fit its intended location!
With that done, it was time for the polystyrene capers to commence! Always a somewhat messy job, but an assortment of polystyrene packing kept in storage, much to Mrs. Woody's bemusement, found its way into the 'box' where it was roughly cut to size and glued with PVA.
It certainly looks a bit strange at the moment but once carved to shape, with even more mess, and covered in plaster impregnated bandage, it will take on a landscape form! I just need to wait for the glue to dry. Now should I take it into the warmth of the house to dry the glue and hide it away from Mrs. W??? She will never know - I hope!
