Platform Awaits

Having a gentle curve on a model is good for a couple of reasons. It makes the track look a little more interesting and it allows a transition to a tighter curve without things looking too unrealistic.

Downside with the platform awaits. Basically I had to scratch build the platform using a printout of the plan to use as a template for the curve of the platform.

This was cut and joined using 1mm Evergreen plasticard on a base made from polystyrene foam.

I then primed the platform with grey primer. I had to tape the foam to stop it from melting from the paint.

I then added edging from a scalescene platform download. Brickwork was adhesive Redotux from Spain and the gravel on top was backyard dirt sieved through a stocking onto Mod Podge.
