Fettling, nailing, filling...

Hi,

Some more shots of progress...

The sides of both traversers have been nailed on and look pretty good, if I do say so myself...

The stream area near the Waunfawr-end water tower was cut out and 6mm ply was glued below. Then the channels were formed using polyfilla and a culvert installed at the end (£2 for 2 from unit models for those interested).


The two pillars to help hold the 'roof' of the 2ft square board...

and a general view showing the 3ft board with its backscene attached. This is necessary to form the landscape, but the 4ft side next to it (nearest the camera) will wait until the newspaper forming has been finished on this section, for accessibility reasons.

Other work included having to change my jigsaw blade for the first time since this project commenced and fettling on the side of the 4ft board (just visible in the shot above) with a plane to make sure the backscene will be square when attached later.

Colin
