Romfell Basework

Today I've been working on the base for the model. As usual nothing fancy just a nice wooden base with some plaster, fine sand and fine gravel added. Once the plaster mix starts to set I use a finger to smooth out the surface then a piece of cling film goes over it and the model and accessories are gently pushed into the setting plaster. The cling film stops anything sticking to the wheels. 

Once it's dried I'll add some grass, weeds and fallen leaves after fixing the sand & gravel using VMS sand & ballast freeze.
