Progress on Gwartha Vellan 009.


A few bits of plastic offcuts has enabled the building of this small stone shed. The roof, I think, is from the Wills small signal box.

Presently in primed grey it will be dry brushed to match the stone colouring already used.

Likewise with the engine shed which is mainly corrugated iron cladding with wood bracing.

The stream is slowly coming on with the course of the water brushed in brown. I must look for some small rocks to add before the area is flooded with varnish or maybe I will use the airbrush to contour a coat of Mod Podge which I have been meaning to try for a while.



The corrugated sheets have been roughly applied and literally cut to fit from many offcuts I had- no more!

There are three different profiles which represent the make do and mend attitude used on many narrow gauge railways on a less than solvent budget.

The last pics show the mill bridge and viaduct- very grand name- in position waiting for the sluice gates and water wheel to be located.
