Taking further advantage of my self-proclaimed day off, I did more layout work. I began classing-up the station platforms for our scratch-built (work in progress) Union Station for the City of Christopolis. Below are two photos of one of the platforms still on the wok bench.
The platform was originally two strips of basswood glued together to attain the desired thickness and painted with light gray primer. I covered the first platform's sides with Chooch, small, flexible, cut stone walls in HO/N scale size. they interlock at each end. The upper surface of the platform is covered with Textured Building Paper, 1:48, Red Brick, from MicroMark. I still have to cover one more long, 1/2 width platform that sits against the mirrors that we use as our backdrop to give the illusion that our layout is twice its size.
