Micro-Scale Models Two Stall Engine House

[MartyO]

I finally got the motivation and guts to glue all the walls together and onto the engine house base. It was kinda scary considering I have broken sections in the past.

I tried to get the gaps between sections matching perfectly, but I failed in that so I had to plaster the gaps and carve them out to make them look better.

Another round of colouring the walls to give it some harmony was well accepted. Oil, etc that will be under the tracks.

A trick I learned on one of the forums is to put masking tape on either side of the gap, smear the plaster into the gap, then after a few minutes when the plaster has start to set (but before it's hard), remove the tape and carve.

Dave, good idea! And wish I had a 🧠

I am starting to think how this Engine House will turn into a Diorama that will be 18" x 18".

Here is my first stab at it. I have a half built FSM Sand House kit that I would like to get merged into this diorama.

Any thoughts?

Very nice progress on the build.
