In early Spring this year, I had lost all interest to continue work on my little Swiss layout, so I took a longer break from it, only occasionally running a train over it. For whatever reason, I started to work on it again - in spite of the heatwave we are right now going through (and no A/C - [sigh]). The right part of the layout has so far been a stepchild in terms of scenicking it. I was not really happy with it, so I thought chaniging it a little couldn´t hurt much at all. The tunnel portal had been just a plywood construction painted black to be less conspicious, so I though a little work on that could only improve the looks of it. With the help of a sharpened screwdriver, I scribe mortar lines into the plywood surface, just to test how this will go, as I intended to cover the plywood with a thin layer of DAS modeling clay and then scribe the lines into this rather soft surface, which air-dries to be rock hard after a day. Well, the result was too good to be covered up, so I painted it and drybrushed it with several different lighter shades of grey, tan and finally white. The result looks quite promising! <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Tunnelportal%202_zpsy4exzssh.jpg" alt=" " /> ... and the finished product, installed on my layout: <img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1030304_zpsofvqw0j7.jpg" alt=" " />
