This Morning have finnished the hillside frame in the corner. I will be covering it with hardboard, card or anything I can find laying around the place. Than it will be covered with plaster of paris and few rocks. O and sheep. Yes, up here there are plenty of sheep. I think more than people. The frame is removable for maintenance of track. Also done the walls along the embankments

Very substantial Sandy, reckon it would take a 12 inch to the foot sheep.

Plaster of paris bandages make a good cover, bit messy though.
Nurse, the screens!

Its just made from old scrap timber I had laying around. It does look over the top but it was free.

Looks just the job. How did you bend the timber to give that nice curve?

If you can lift it off the layout, I assume you will do a lot of the finishing with it off the layout? As has been said plaster is messy stuff. It will look good once it's finished.

The curve is a shaped piece of 10mm ply. Or do you mean the wall around the track bed. That is Hardboard glued and pinned to track bed 10mm Ply.

Yes I do plan to do most of the plaster in the shed. I am also going to try and produce some small rocky bits on the hillside. That is going to be a first for me, Never done that before. Iv got heater in shed so it is cosy down there. :)
