I took advantage of a day off from work to make progress on the dock wall of Boxer Bay, which is heavily inspired by the S&DJR dock at Highbridge - see 1930's archive photograph. I really like the combination of a stone & timber wall, makes a nice contrast. The wood was stained & lightly weathered. I'm no artist, so just attempt to make it "look good" at a distance. I'm happy. A ton more to do, not to mention the boats & water.
Another job was improving a scene I wasn't entirely happy with. The stationmasters house at Windrush Junction, I did not like the shrubbery ;), and thought a traditional hedge would be more fitting. Made from simple cheap cleaning sponges & typical foliage. I think it improves the scene overall. Monty Python approved !
