Harbours

With the arrival of the Dry dock and some more buildings plus ships and impedimenta from Langtons the Dockyard module was now ready for construction.




Firstly, I cut out the base from plastic sheet.





Next I sculpted the contours from insulating foam.




Then I completed the basic shaping and glued up the two parts securing them with Duct Tape..


The following morning I unwrapped the glued up base.



and cut out the detail for the top of the hill.




Then glued and cramped it all together.



Once dry overnight I gave it a coat of PVA to seal the surfaces and harden them overall .

Whilst that was drying Iused the time to paint the accessories.




Now that the Glue is dry, I have undercoated the whole piece and then added grass scatter whilst it was still wet. This will later be varnished over.

Cliff faces are also painted lighter.



Next I started to paint the Dock Yard and detailed some more of the base.

With that completed I began to add the town at the top of the hill.





Here is the Dockyard just about finished and ready to go to the shop for a top coat of varnish.


Lastly I introduced the Dockyard into the harbour module .
Just a bit of refining to make it blend in better at the edges now needed.
