Progress on the Free-Mo module.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last week or so I have been plugging away on my latest project, a Free-Mo module of LaSalette, Ontario. Since I have not been able to work on the Bronx Terminal in the last several months for a variety of reasons I agreed to take on a module for the CASO group that I have been posting about lately. I will be returning to the Bronx project soon, but in the meantime this is providing me an outlet for some modeling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have finished the sculpting of the roadbed using Hydrocal, finished painting the rails and have completed all the ballasting. The picture gallery below shows some of the work in progress.<\/p>\n

Click on the first image in the series below, the slide show will automatically start. Once started, hover the mouse over the image to activate the “prev” and “next” buttons.<\/p>\n

With the roadbed sculpting and Hydrocal stained, the ballasting can be spread.<\/p>\n

Next, ballast is glued in place.<\/p>\n
