Shillingstone - spring module (again)
Nothing you haven't seen before, but a couple of slightly different views of the Spring module. Here's the entire thing, more or less, with the fascia finished (I added the vertical bits at either end) and after a coat of light blue paint. Light blue? Yes, a bit of an unconventional choice to say the least but it suits the Winter module very well and I wanted something that was both light, and also a contrast to the green used on the fascia of the American layout. Too much green would have been a bit overwhelming, I think. Hopefully you can begin to see the work done on the painted trees - still more to go but as mentioned in the earlier post, it has to be taken slowly so as to avoid getting too much moisture on the backscene in one go.
Close-up of the brook scene. This is pretty close to the view I get on tip toes or when standing on a small set of steps. There are definite pros and cons to building a layout at this height, but that's a story for another day. Would I do it again? Probably not (if I had a choice, which I didn't here) - but it is very nice to be able to walk into the middle of a continuous run layout!
Must get around to weathering that lovely 3MT...
