Make the end backscene.
A simple project this week. Make the new end backscene using 6mm MDF sheet. The first job was to use the old panel to mark and drill the three fixing holes.
Only 10 weeks until the Salisbury show......
Wednesday 14th February 2024
Worklist:
Cut the panel to the right height, including radiusing the spectator-facing corner.
Using the pipe gantry as a guide, the hole to access the fiddleyard was cut out, with radiuses to the top corners. The opening was then routed with a radiused edge to 'soften' the sharp edge.
The hole will be further camouflaged with rampant climbing weeds.
'Atlantic', the largest loco in the stock box passes through comfortably.
The top of the corner junction will have squares of Velcro and a complimentary strap to hold it close together.
The main backscene was taken down and given a thinned coat of primer. As too was the back of the fiddleyard tunnel.
