More corrugated iron....
We just picked up where we left last week - Geoff printing panels and Stephen sticking them down. The first difference was that Geoff had a new batch of resin, which was almost black. The second was that he decided not to UV cure the new panels, leaving them slightly flexible so they remained flat. Once securely glued to the foamboard substructure, they would then be cured with UV light - possibly left in the sun.

| A new panel was required for the window heads. |
We then looked at the flying link structure. Corrugated sheet had been stuck on one side, with two small windows, similar to the Westinghouse units. Printed panels were now applied to the reverse side and a single window will be formed instead.
The track-side facade will be invisible to all but long-necked viewers, but not to operators, so it received a layer of slightly imperfect cladding panels.
Plenty more wall panels to go.... and then we'll have to tackle the roofs, windows, gutters/downpipes, external services....
We also had a look at the new areas of landscaping and decided that some shrubs would be nice. The natural plant shrub substructure we'd used on the station boards was very fragile and almost all had broken up. Lamenting the 'rubberised horsehair' John had obtained from British Airways bins (packing material), we tried eBay and found some that looked the same. It should be delivered by next week.
