My Personal IG-Nippon Module Layout

Hello Guys,

 

I've been working on the modules for the last few days (I want to get all the modules greened for the model building fair in Vienna 😄 ).

 

 

First I rebuilt the yard: glued tracks and graveled the empty areas on the tracks. All of that aged. I also vacuumed off the loose greenery, which will be greened again tomorrow. It's looking a lot better now.

next I continued to build the 4th track module. The shell was finished a long time ago, so I first shaped the terrain and then glued on the tracks. The terrain consists of a Styrodur core on which I used up construction foam. I edited this after hardening and then covered it with toilet paper and a mixture of water and wood glue. Then came the "Noch Felsspachtel" and paint. I think I'll get the modules greened by the weekend 🙂 only the water will come onto the module after the trade fair in Vienna.

Hello Guys 🙂

 

the model Toy fair in Vienna is over, but before that I've finished a few things on my modules. so I have a few pictures for you again, also from the fair of my modules (the rest will then go into the right topic).

 

Pictures of the transport condition: there are always 3-4 modules mounted one above the other in a group for transport, which can be carried by two people (one person can even carry one person alone) and it fits in a small van ("Sprinter").

 

 

 

some pictures of the yard and the new track module.

OMG! A sprinter van would be fantastic for shows! So many years of doing Tetris with all the club modules in vehicles and being so careful that we had enough room in the vehicles there at teardown to get them home! At least Ttrak is much more manageable but I can still fill the Prius V to the max with a 14’ loop…

Jeff, I can load 30 modules with the wooden legs and accessories into the Ford Transit 😄 it was perfect for transportation (we can get it relatively cheap here thanks to corporate rates). So, 3 station modules, 3 yard modules, 4 track modules, 3 (actually 4!) curve modules, 4 x 4 arc modules (16) and 1 module from lighthouse were in the transporter as well as the legs for the modules 🙂

 

I'll continue with pictures 🙂 I got some of the curve modules ready in the basic design, unfortunately I ran out of cherry trees (so far 220 pieces have been installed 😮 ), but supplies are ordered 😄

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

godzilla and mothra were the selfie highlight of the fair 😄

Hello Guys 🙂

 

I finally finished the pictures from the fair of my modules, so here are a few impressions 🙂

I put the modules back up yesterday and today, alone. We have our annual November exhibition on Sunday. I hope you like these pictuers.

 

Kind Regards

Patrick

The photo of the train among the cherry trees really rocks my boat 👍
