Since I flew with my own model train in hand luggage I know the expression in the face of the inspectors. Please open this I have to see, then comes from the mouth. Everything with something not at the last moment, to check in.

hi, Helmut how are you doing nice to hear from you.
in my last group of photos, some of the brickwork was bothering me so out I came.my work has mainly been directed at concrete and asphalt both I find difficult, I really like the asphalt in Cahill expressway.i feel I am getting somewhere with the concrete but the asphalt is another thing I just keep trying.
in one of the photos, you can see the back scene board onto that I will glue the back scene this is also the top of the box-cheers Kim.

Kim,

I'm fine and I finally get the control technology for my Klosterstollen model solved.
That's just not something that would fit into this great forum, like your excellent work shown here. There are now 3 buttons on my model now, where visitors can even start actions in the model.

Kim, I think Narayan explained how he models asphalt in the 2013 Modelers' Annual. If you don't have it and want a copy send me a note. -- Russ

I like the layout of things so the track is not right up on the front of the benchwork.

hi all .Asphalt I have had a look at the article by Narayan great stuff using his approach of hand-laid brick pavements and moving asphalt looks great this approach now seems to be common.I had a good look at my asphalt and I have come to the conclusion that the whole scene is too bust there are just too many textures fighting for attention so I remembered an old approach that I have used I will share it in alter post but it has calmed the whole scene down.
cheers kim

Excellent work!

The only thing that looks "off" to me is the way the water comes over those rectangular slabs in the first photo. It doesn't appear natural.

hi Charles and Ray.
yes, those pads foundations for floating objects may be the photo helps.
but s-t, I will most likely have to redo all the resin water on the right side the bottom has not dried so it is still really gooey after 4 days.I most likely did not mix it properly.it has happened before it is usually a mess but it gives me the opportunity to change anything.
cheers

[Ray Dunakin]

Ah, now I see.

Too bad about having to redo the resin.

Have you ever tried Liquitex medium viscosity acrylic gloss medium and then a couple of applications of varnish? According to Don McKenney, a very good modeler, Liquitex cleans up with water, produces no toxic fumes, doesn't smell bad, dries fairly quickly, and looks good. I don't have a decent image to post even though I spent several minutes looking up this information. -- Russ

Kim It looks like you really nailed the asphalt. This is really nice to see coming together.
