I do get through a lot of mdf. Im going to have to invest in some better storage so I can grade the off cuts, also some better and quieter extraction, I have been cutting acrylic jewellery this afternoon and that wiffs a bitI think you're becoming addicted to the smell of burnt MDF!
Great work, keep it up.
Edit forgot the picture. ill do 5 different lockup designs which will be interchangeable
Hopefully I can do a test build this weekend

I like that 
It could possibly be tweaked for a really nice brick railway bridge too Maybe this kind of design http://www.lostrailwayswestyorkshir... 16 31-05-03)/6 gelderd rd footpath south.jpg ..............maybe even in weatherproof materials for the garden market

The problem is weatherproof materials.mdf is a non starter and I'm not sure about Rowmark, I suspect the best bet is to make masters and cast from them. Does plasticard survive outside?I like that

My plasticard bridge pillars have been out all this winter as an experiment, fine so far (but too early to tell really) , but UPVC has been used successfully by others on a longer term.

I think the heat is the biggest problem. Simon asked about buildings and I suggested he talk to you

Cynric,
I get the feeling that the brickwork in the infil should be English or Flemish bond for strength, and Phil's pictures tend to back that up. A single thickness stretcher bond wouldn't be too stable at that height - you could probably push the wall in with a light tap from a Transit.
But looking very good otherwise.
Jim.
easy to correct

A lot depends on location, my bridge is in a sheltered position which doesn't get too much direct sun, but I don't think plasicard would fair too well in direct sunlight, but UPVC is fine anywhereI think the heat is the biggest problem. Simon asked about buildings and I suggested he talk to you

Consul GT in Copper brown
The up-sweep over the rear arch makes the model look like a Cortina... and with the box headlights then probably a Mk IV.... surely?
I thought that the Consul name died out in the early 1960s, aling with Zephyr and Zodiac... or was the early Capri actually a Consul Capri? Memories... now what was the name of the saloon with the V4 engine?

Same body shape as a MK1 Granada, think Consul name was just a bit of badge engineering
