Norway layout by Mike Carter

A few more.............the grass verge was originally to the edge but this had to be removed to put in the road for the radio controlled VW. There is a turning circle at the harbour around the Nordkapp monument. I will need to fit a stone wall along the edge of the layout to contain the vehicle. At the exhibitions the public may be invited to drive the VW..............hmmm

And not forgetting the peddling cyclist making her way around the Bryggen...........

The walling is made of 5mm foamboard with 3D stone paper glued to both sides. Now I need to make a capping of thin card to neatly finish the walls.

The small stone retaining walls are completed along seven feet at the front of the layout. This will hopefully contain the small VW Samba from falling to the floor at exhibitions. The walls are a scale 4ft high and are made of foamboard, stone 3D paper with a card capping.

Two general views of the complete layout set up in our lounge at home. The layout is 15 ft long and as british houses are on the small size, this is the only place I can set it up. I know my wife is a saint................It still needs a curtain and fascia boards to be fitted.........coming soon.........

[madharry]

The layout has self contained lighting. Here are the top boards fitted with LED's ready for the next stage. Note the painting of Prieser figures to populate the town.

Mike,

Outstanding!  This is going to be a crowd favorite when you exhibit it.  I will be really interested in how it looks with the lighting in place.

[madharry]

Thanks Jerry, I hope so!

That looks fantastic.

Thanks very much Bob. I am very pleased with the whole set up. This is the second layout I have built on this forum (Cheffley/Midsomer) and I built Red Hook Bay on the old forum. The first show is next Friday/Saturday so I am 1 week ahead of myself. There are a total of six invites to exhibitions so far..............
Thanks everyone for following.
