Mosslanda: Defiance - buried…
Progress, however small is progress non the less and last night saw the completion of the paving - the Peco code 55 is now buried… I intensely dislike this sort of work, it is fiddly and requires patience and neatness. These are skills hard earned through practice and whilst the latter is somewhat natural the former is certainly a challenge! The result though is a project that is coming to life and already feels scale agnostic - for whilst the modes are small the telltale of overscale rails and ties has been disguised. This is also a lesson in persistence. There is a great deal of satisfaction to be had in looking at these photos - of the reworked GP20 and imagining how this will feel as the elements come together. Plugging away at less enjoyable stages to get to the goal - that comes to all of us on every project at some point or another… …and so next up I can get the initial paint down and seal this all up - I’ll paint the rail sides and card edges with a grungy rusty grey black brow...
