Pushing Back .......
Hi scottie, I always rinse my moulds in a washing up liquid and water mix to both clean and break the surface tension of the mould. I have not tried the PVA trick though so maybe add a tad to the mix. Do you dilute the PVA prior to adding ? Cheers Toto- toto

Pushing Back .......
I have been....... :D another 8 rows done .... to be precise. takes a bit of time ..... there is a bit of an undulation in the road .... probably a bit warping due to the balsa having been dampened with the PVA but I'm not too phased as these roads would have been a bit knackered. They...- toto

Hi Stefee, Glad it is of interest. Its all reasonably new to me as well. I used to dabble in railway modelling before now but all the skills are transferable. The cobbling process starts today and I also need to find a route into my bomb crator for some cabling before things go to far. ...- toto
