    Loving the progress Richard, well done on the nomination & good luck at GETs
  • I am looking forward to getting to this stage as I have never done any before and I always like watching you making a mess. Tip: I would of covered the rails with some card. Martin. (Thailand)

    A little tip that I use, is to apply the paint almost as soon as you lay the sculptamold - don't wait for it to dry before painting. The paint mixes in with the sculptamold and this means that, later, when the scenery gets a little chip in it (and exhibition layouts are virtually guaranteed to get chips in the scenery) you don't see the white under the paint.

    Timing of this is perfect for me, been a few years since last built up scenery on a layout. I was always taught to cut the plaster into triangles as it follows contours much better.

    I always cover my track with masking tape - the blue "painter's" tape - to keep the sculptamold from accidentally landing on the tracks. A little sculptamold on your switch points can ruin your day!

    Cool little video Richard, I like the fact you don't try to rush it and enjoy the whole process. Grooving on the jazz soundtrack. Nice!
  • It’s all starting to come together now. Always great to see the progress on New Junction mk2. All the best Richard.
  • Great to see another video. The scenery is coming together now and congrats on the Favourite YouTuber nomination. You have my vote. All the best. 😊 - Nicholas.

    Yes, it is starting to come together with the scenery. The layout will bring to take life. It all takes time. (Mike HO from Australia.) Best of luck with the Hornby Awards for 2023.

    It's one of my favourite parts of layout building - those initial applications of colour! I feel just that first step already changes everything.
