Sunday 4th November 2012

Well, it  has been a very long time since last we posted any news about the layout.  With the summer holidays various other activities we have had few meetings recently.

Next Tuesday will be Allen's birthday and he arrived with a fantastic birthday cake.

It tasted even better than it looked.  Many thanks Mrs Law.

This week we got down and dirty!  It was time to cover the polystyrene scenics and we began with strips of newspaper stuck down with PVA glue.  Once this was set we painted it in a glutinous mixture of dilute PVA, filler powder and brown paint.  The resulting mixture was applied liberally by Allen and Dave, and has smoothed out the contours.


Now all we have to do is wait for a couple of days for the mixture to set.  Hopefully the colour will improve as it dries.
