Building of the helix

Been a while but I'm still at it, so here's an update of my layout.

     From my last post, I had left off with the construction start to my helix and now I'm almost done. The first picture shows pieces of masonite at the joints and in between the joints which will have spacers between the levels. The second picture shows the cork bed installed, the third picture shows the frame work that will hold the helix and the fourth shows the helix almost finished.

     I've also been working on some scenery such as finishing the cement factory, starting work on the refinery area and a little town.

 

 

     I've contacted Backdrop Junction and talked with them about matching backgrounds scenery with my layout, such as a river and roads at specific location. So for now I have some files and have been working on Photoshop to blend pictures into their backdrops and once finish, I'll send them back to them to have them printed.

Here's a little movie of my train running up and down the Helix.

Thanks for dropping by....Later
