Sunday Scenic Showcase, January 15, 2011

This week was NBW week. The kit had 220 NBW's to be installed. I believe I may have lost three. The rest are installed, could use more. I stained and painted the remainder of trim and detail parts and worked on the tipple bents and slope sheet, rear of the tipple. Then out of the box work, not part of the kit.
About 1/3 of the NBW's, center of this picture, installed on the posts for the two retaining walls. The tipple bents, one, lower picture, also required a lot of NBW's.

Tipple bents and slope sheet.

To build terrain that fits the structure.

There are two retaining walls top and bottom of the terrain, each bent and the long support beams will sit on a concrete foundation.

A good day's work. Some paint work on the concrete piers and then some plaster cloth work. The terrain piece can be removed from the model for this work then re-installed after most detail is finished, hopefully next week.


Some other work that got done this week.


Have a great week everyone.
