Peter, your photography looks very good,I think you are underestimating your skills in that department, and the last two pictures show even more clearly your outstanding skill as a model maker. I also thought they were the real thing.

Hi there

After a "creative" break for reasons of health, I started with the diorama base. Knowing the exact dimensions is vital for the next steps on my project.
The decisive breakthrough in that question I achieved by studying contemporary city maps. Here an enlarged section of a 1870 map:



Here the same location in scale 1/50:


The abutement is devided at the waterline. Its underwater areas and the riverbed will be completed exactly up to the water surface (red arrow) as will the future side wall (blue arrow). I hope, NE Brownstone has some useful stonewall in O-Scale...
So the complete underwater block will have the same thickness (2 cm). In this way, I hope to avoid resin creeping up the edges of materials...

More to follow!
