Paxinos Plastering - Paul's Corner

 Well, we have been working for some months on Paxinos. This is Paul's Corner as he has done most of the work, occasionally assisted by Ed. He started by doing the webbing and under-supports. Here he has the plaster cloth in along the track and over to the town base.

 Further down to the west , you can see the abutments have been placed for the bridge. I placed this bridge to act as a view block to the next scene around the curve. The road climbs steeply from the town and goes over the tracks on a simple wood bridge.

Looking back from Shamrock on the finished plaster cloth and you see how the view block works.

 Now Paul is adding the Structolite, covering the cloth, and it changes color and gives it a much more granular appearance. It also adds strength.

 This is the final appearance of the slope of the land along the right of way.

 The abutments are now firmly planted in the soil. I covered them with plastic to protect their color and texture with all that plaster around.

This is the final form that now has to be painted with my ground color. I also have to come up with a backdrop theme for that blue wall.
