That`s Excellent John:cool:!
Some great additions you`ve made on this one.The metalwork really is very nice:thumb2:.
Pewter is a medium i`ve yet to have a go at,but as i`m slowly getting into this scratching lark i may just get some and have a bash!
Coming along a treat Sir,i look forward to the next update,
Cheers,
Andy

I'm having a feeling this is going to be a terrific result JR. You've almost caught up to Simon with all that metal work.....hardly qualifies as a plastic model anymore. Keep it up Sir! Your fellow patient, next ward over. 358 :thumb2:

Hi my friend, thanks you. Don't think you would have a problem with it.

Cheers Rick, appreciate your post. A long long way behind the Master though, but trying hard to accomplish getting it to stick :smiling3:

Oh that's the reason it flies out of my hand when I walk passed the magnet store ! Thanks Steve.

Before I attempt to cut the front of the BA car I decided it might be prudent to make the base first, at least with than done the angle of cut should equal the river.

So into the stores ( attic ) where I have several sheets of insulation foam in readiness for such occasions.

This time I've not bothered to make up the difference between the frame and glass depth as the foam base is thick.

Above is the rough lay out after putting both models on the base to see how much or little room I have.

Having marked out the road and lower river section I started to cut the foam.

.Have to do this outside as the foam pieces get everywhere.

2020_5.jpg
Preparing to glue the foam off cuts on to make up hight. Other glues adhesives are available, I just happen to prefer this one, and the price was right !

2020_7.jpg

Top section of foam glued on , models placed to check. There will be a bridge in the background on the corner.The corner covered in snow being the cause of the BA leaving the road.

Might need a bit of adjustment after the filler is applied to the foam, when that's done final placement can take place, and the cutting begin.



This shows a closer view of the " Rock Face " Properly will use Sculptamold for the covering as its so versatile.

Thanks for looking in, looking fwd to doing the base, snow , ice , water, trees , rocks., but NO FIRE.

Comments welcome.
