Backscene trouble

 A couple of months ago I decided to try a Peco sky Backscene. I cut templates using lining paper from which the actual Backscene was cut out. To fix in place, double sided tape was used on the Backscene joints and 3M aerosol glue used to fix the photo Backscene in place. My first attempt behind the coal yard was a disaster as you can clearly see in the photos. This will be redone but the remainder fixed well as I developed and improved my method. The idea next is to add an overlay of some Devon hillside low against the sky Backscene. 

Hole in the road

 It’s been a while since the last post but I have been grabbing moments in between work and other jobs ( err distractions )  to make some useful progress on Lynton station. The scenic board with Larkscleave bridge is coming on nicely with static grass and a start made on trees. I’ve also made a start on placing the station building into the ground ( cardboard road and platform )  which I was delaying and procrastinating over thinking this would be difficult. In the end cutting open a hole to fit the building and getting the ground contour correct as best I could was not that difficult. I’m beginning to see interesting photographic alignment to the old station photographs.
