It seems a LOT larger in the photos.

If Zak says it will fit on one table believe him.....
However the one table is 60ft long.....!

It is in separate sections, so it will fit anywhere.
Having said that it is quite large and a photo session in Bill's dining room proved how difficult it is to get around a large model, much more room will be needed to get decent photos I fear.

The fit of the parts is excellent after cleaning up and removing them from the runners with a fine saw.
I sand with water to try to reduce the risk of dust and wear a mask - yes, yes, I await the usual comments, that must be an improvement, I thought you wore one all the time and so on.
I replaced the linkage on the front wheels with brass rod, the one supplied snapped.

Would anybody even think such a thing as connecting you and masks -- its not worth the retribution - you would take.

[zak]

More of the same sort of stuff really.

Undercoating/priming in progress.

Looking great - is Neil and the SIG paying , per building, per item or per brick for ALL the stuff you are doing for Telford ?

Oh, I never thought of that.
However in the first photo you can see his stomach on the left and my fingers on the right, Bill was wielding the camera.

Painting/spraying in progress.

It is such a lovely day, there is no choice but to model (what a pity), it is pouring it down and very windy.
Perfect modelling weather.

While I wait for everything to cure/ dry I am contemplating adding another part to the airfield.
This will be the motor transport section.
I think it will consist of two 3 bay sheds for vehicle storage, offices, latrines(especially for Martin), crew quarters and a petrol pump(s). It is all in my head at the moment.
Unfortunately to keep it all balanced this may also involve another section.

[MSea]

Will it be one table or one HALL at Telford

Modelling done during yesterdays 12 hour power cut.
Motor Transport Shed, card mainly.
Coated in a Polytex sort of stuff.
