The road required some cuts and fills to make a more realistic grade. |
I had to do a little surgery into the scenery surface to make a cut for the road that bisects the scene. Cutting the layers of paper and plaster was easy. Once the cut was shaped, I reinforced the cut with fresh players of paper towels and hydrocal and Durhams water putty.
The road tapers to help force the perspective |
While the road plaster was curing, I added the base coat of scenery to the remaining areas of Brooke. This means that all the scenery in the main room now has at least a base coat of scenery.
I used photoshop top remove the valance and lights in this long view down the tracks at Brooke |
Mike and Denise Yenchek, from the Pittsburgh area, visited the layout on Sunday evening. Mike was formerly a tinplate O scaler, but is beginning to build a 2 rail ACW RR with either the W&A or the O&A as a subject. Being new to 2 Rail and around the walls layouts, he hoped to pick up some ideas from my layout. Welcome aboard Mike and Denise!
