''Morganth'' an intermodal based DCC layout

[upnick]

Hi All,

Having a couple of days back as holidays i spent it lining the backboard on board one with more foam to create the background basis to the rockface, still looking a bland uniform white the effects of the carving out is coming on well.

The waterfall area i am not sure where to have the waterfall itself either in the corner at an angle or inline with board one ........ in the corner will break the eye i'm tempted to go with this idea more.

Construction of the tunnel sides is finished sprayed over with a thin coat of grey to see the effect of the rockface ....... though the tunnel overall is to square at the moment needing some shaping still ...... when i'm happy with it a good cleaning ofv the track inside the tunnel and the top will go on ......... an end board with a piano hinged access panel on the outer side of it in case of derailments is next to be done .. along with filling in between the sections of foam where needed with black miliput.



Tunnel mouth at the front of board one with an undercoat of grey sprayed on.



Overall view into the corner.



A start made on forming the area near the waterfall to create a chasm with the water forming a pool.



I am tempted to get out the jigsaw and cut the board on the far side of the front piece of track here to give the impression the water goes deep underground under what is to be the intermodal yard.
