I have been thinking about a display / photo track for 1:48 models for some time. Something which just needs sky behind to keep things simple. I am going to try to build a small section of this over the next few months. It seems simple enough….
The idea is a model of a section of Warrnambool breakwater. It was built around 1890 in concrete to a design by Sir John Coode. It still has very rusty track visible on the surface. I have been taking note of Neil's inset track, and other methods. Not that it matters for the model but the inland side of the breakwater faces north so is well lit, being in the southern hemisphere, and has the Southern Ocean beyond.

As it was
The breakwater plan
As it is today
Now to work out how big it will be and what it will be built from so I can get started in August.
