ezdays 2010 EOY challenge
#4
Hey, I made a bit of progress these past few days. I'm starting on the transition between the two sections of the layout. Remember, the section on the right is hinged to get access to the wiring. One problem I had with my initial though was that I had the bridge secure and there was an interference whenever I opened the swinging half of the layout. I cleaned everything off, cut the board on the movable side so it would be level with the other half and now I plan on having the bridge swing up along with the movable side and now all I have to do is to be sure the track of the fixed side can move from side to side to align properly with the bridge.

Here is the results of my work so far:

I cleared everything and cut the movable side level with the other side:
   
Next I leveled the rough edge of the board:
   
Then I added a piece of printed circuit board as movable stiffener to act as the base for the lake:
   
Then I added the blue foam that will also move:
   
And finally I glued two sheets of cheesecloth to everything:
