Time for some retaining walls!

Having constructed the retaining walls for the area where the signal box is going in the scenic sub-base I needed to make some corner and end piers which would both strengthen the joint and hide the join in the brick paper. Some mounting card was cut to shape and then covered in brick paper. At the same time I also cut some strips of brown card and marked it up to represent joints in coping stone that would go on top of the retaining walls.

My Last Great Project,

With that done it was time to glue all the components into place on the sub-base.

My Last Great Project,

Looks OK to me and when I posed the yet to be painted signal box in position it really began to show promise!

My Last Great Project,
