Bricklaying

Had a few days off over half-term, so have been cutting pieces of MDF to fit around the track (either to allow cars to slide out with de-slotting, or to provide a base for scenery) and have sprayed black all the border pieces (some of which were originally sand-coloured).

I also tried the first bit of scenery building - not with the now-delivered chicken wire and plaster - but with cereal packets and brick paper for train scenery.

Step 1: track supported by MDF and wood.

Step 2: walls built with cardboard and MDF.

Step 3: External and internal walls papered with brick.

Next steps: shape and grass around the base of the walls; place advertising on the inside of the hairpin
