Steamfan77 posted:Making progress on a part of the layout I’ve ignored for too long. The first picture is a retaining wall next to the main line. After that, I put down some basic ground cover. The rest of the pictures are of the Jericho Turnpike underpass in Mineola, Long Island, NY. For the street supports, I made a template out of oak tag, then transferred the shape to some scrap 3/4” plywood. After cutting and a little sanding, I screwed the curved road supports to the benchwork. I spray painted some 1/8” hardboard (Masonite) flat gray. I’ll follow up on the road with some weathering powders. I cut the walls out of the same thickness hardboard, and after priming with the gray, I sprayed on some Rust-Oleum Desert Bisque. For the folks that are familiar with the area I’m modeling, this is the underpass on Jericho Turnpike in Mineola. For those not familiar, this is a four lane road, and one of the main thoroughfares in the village of Mineola which passes under the Oyster Bay branch line that I’m modeling. The underpass is in progress, so more pictures to follow. Thanks for looking.
