GEC's Layout Progress

Matt - Can I ask what you used for the decorative sidewall on the bridge, and the top railing supports
Cheers

Jack, for the decorative sidewall, I only laminated 0.2mm styrene sheet cut in assymetrical pattern and spaced by about 1mm according to the prototype. The railing was also scratchbuilt with styrene. I built my own rectangular section tubing from styrene and cut it in section. Honestly, it was tedious to glue and tedious to cut. I destroyed many of them, just handling them. I would recommend using rectangular styrene or brass shapes instead! More efficient and far less frustrating.

The concrete divider between lanes was done by sawing at various angles a strip of 1/4 MDF... We lost it during transportation and my friend never wanted to make another one, too much affraid of losing a finger or two...

Hope it helps!

BTW, how far have you completed your nice NYC layout?
