    Don't want to be a killjoy, but wasn't it "main structure must be created from the Scalescenes papers" :scratchchin:

    Nice bridge though Ron, are you going to space out the sleepers a bit?

    Plaster work done tonight (as if I don't see enough of the stuff at work!) and left to set..

    The foreman doesn't look too happy though!! (just noticed the loco chimney!!)

    Coming along a treat Ron :thumbs:. I wouldn't worry about the chimney, the camera angle probably makes it look worse than it is.

    I used to work for a gaffer that looked like your foreman, nasty piece of work, he would stand at your shoulder waiting for you to make a mistake GRRRRR.

    Very nice Ron. I like the riverbed. Terrific job you have made of it. :thumbs: I think the grasses etc will finish it off nicely.

    Cheers
