Making of an angled module

Here you see the trestle with the two foundations. I've made a pile of gypsum and scraped with a scalpel the stones.

I never considered applying and carving bridge foundations AFTER the bridge had been put in place.
That's what's great about TB, different ideas from different people, learning never stops...:tb-cool:

 

No, the bridge isn't glued in place. I can still remove it. But this is a good way to get the foundations carved.

Now I've started to get some color to the rocks. I can still remove the trestle for coloring the rocks.

And four pics from today.

At the start today:


I removed the trestles and added wasches with umbra and sienna like I've read in an article from Paul Scoles in MRC.


Then I added a wash with ink. Also I airbrushed the tunnel roof with black.




I think I've finished it so far. I can fasten the trestles.

The overall effect of barren sandstone is excellent, and the sooty tunnel mouth is very convincing.

 

Slowly this project comes to an end. I've glued the trestles to the rails and added ballast and real earth. When the glue is hard I will add spikes.



And with some Woodland and talus.

Now I think it's finished. I've spiked the rails at the trestle, every sixth tie.





Now comes work with the inset piece which connects the two segments.

I've attached my tunnel module into the layout.



And I've made a video
