Hi All

Here are some shots of A Town Like Alice at Hobsons Bay Model Railway exhibition 2016.

The new venue lighting is the best I have ever seen, we didn't bother with setting up the lights in the end.

Heavitree Gap rebuild progress

With another exhibition coming up, we took the opertunity to upgrade the Heavitree Gap area, the 'gap' was expanded, and thanks to Dave the rocks were blended perfectly!!

Here is Daves first cut!

here is the final blend, spectacular job mate!

Fingers all pointing in the same direction.

Apart from building up the foam for the extension, I routed out the base so the "gap" would fit in its location better, thanks to Helen for a great birthday prezzie.

I don't recommend that you cut up your layout this close to an exhibition! Eeeek!

This should make it easier to "place" the gap in the right location.

Enjoy

Tree phobia A Town Like Alice

I seem to be gettting to grips with my tree phobia, and with the help of Helen we have managed to install 97 trees on "A Town Like Alice"

These trees have been made from Super Trees armatures, i bought a box yonks ago.

Here is the armatures ready to paint.

Painted, ready for application of flock.

I will put out a youtube video show how we did it.
