Hi Rick and Harry, I used the heavy clear plastic container that the K-Line tunnel portals came in as a mold, which I then poured modelling plaster into. I made two and spliced them together. You can see from the picture that it lacks much of the detail, but it looked ok after painting. To give it extra strength, I added a wood brace on the back. If I had it to do over again, I would not have put the portal on a curve. I had to trim the sides a few times to allow for overhang from some of my larger engines.
