Pushing Back .......
Hi minitnkr, I'm in two minds. Either inside one of the buildings or maybe the junction of the road. Open to suggestions though. If its in a building, it would have to be the larger of the two as thats where Gerry is going to be hanging out. It maybe a little awkward as the blast is ariel. The...- toto

Pushing Back .......
A few domestics to do before I get started today. Once I get going, I will complete the balsa sub surface for the roads and give it a total wash in diluted PVA with a little plaster through it. That should seal it for when I start laying cobbles and kerbstones etc. I will need to check to see...- toto

Do you have a hobby mancave
Just need to match it with the skills now. I've dabbled in a few things so many of the tools etc are transferable. The IT set up is just lately .... read that as about 18 months but not yet taken advantage of as yet. The plaster, painting and wood working tools have been gathered over a wee... -

A bit of a cheat really ....
I have a couple of buildings in progress ready to take growth in my Diorama ...... thing is .... they are not scratch built buildings like many of the clever folks in here. They are Great North Roads plastercast buildings. So maybe a bit of an anti climax for some. However .... they are...- toto

Next step and in order to get some of the infrastructure in place, I'm turning my attention to the roads and pavement.
