Garry is the project manager and has started gluing roadbed down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Track is laid and painted and ballasting begins. |
|
Using a funnel and a brush makes it go fast and easy. |
|
|
|
|
|
After the glue is dry the track work is done. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

It's always good to put on a coat of primer to seal the wood. |
|
|
|
| Now to build the framework for the removeable mountain top. |
|
|
Garry is using blue styrofoam to get the basic shape. |
|
|
|
|
Several peices will be cut and glued together. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Foam in a can is used to fill il the gaps. |
|
|
|
A putty knife helps to smooth it out. |
|
| Looks like the bottom half is shaping up. |
|
Now to start on the top half. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

 |
|
|

Looks like he does his best work with his hands. |
|
|
Garry is using some wallboard compound right over the styrofoam. |
|
|
|
The basic shape of the mountain on the first module. |
|
|
|
|
|
Now to add some texture, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now to fill in above the portal. |
|
|
This portal was hand made from a peice of styrofoam. |
|
|
|
Add some paint and ground cover. |
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like the tunnel needs some work, |
|
|
|
|
|

|
All this time we have been making trees. Even visitors have helped. |
