4mm Project Advent

[James Spooner]

So the paint has dried faster than I had anticipated and the ensemble is once again assembled on the dining room table. It still works! I have tested the Baldwin on every inch of the layout and am happy with the outcome. I think that is a successful conclusion to Project Advent.

Looking nice, Nigel.

why ModRoc? I tend to papier mache, actually, woven strips of paketo cornflako, covered in strips of green paper hand towel or newspaper, sloshed through some watered down PVA. Does the ModRoc offer some benefit?

Merry Christmas

Hi Simon,

Thanks! I think it is just that I have been used to using Modroc and it has always proven strong and durable so decided to stick with what I knew! I am aware of other ways of doing things but, not being a great cornflake (or Weetabix or other cereals) eater, there is a shortage of said boxes in our household!

A lovely little layout, Nigel.
Will you be posting pictures of the buildings as your son progresses with them?

Thanks Tim. I will ask him if can send me photos as he progresses (he lives with his girlfriend in London), so don’t hold your breath! I’m going back to the Ivatt 4MT after Christmas…
