Construction begins...

Utilising amusingly dull natural lighting, I began construction today in the basement.

The photo below is of my key light source... This is actually one of the largest "windows" in the room! Of course, I will get an extension lead long enough (approx 30 metres) for me to have some decent light soon.


Fortunately my camera flash is awesome, so you can see the start of the first set, which is a 1:100 scaled exterior snow field, and it is really massive. When we were planning the sets, Nick tried to convince me that these sets would be too big and I am only now realising they are going to take up lots and lots of room.


This is the base for one of 4 fields, and is 2.5metres long, and 1.8 metres wide. The stacks of poly are the start of cone shaped mountains, which will soon have a train bridge and tunnel. The 4 exterior snow sets will be assembled together to form one huge landscape, providing the establishing shots for the opening montage of trixie going to work. Below is a crazy focus on a train model on the polystyrene. Of course the set needs to be painted, dressed and snowed on after they are built.



If anyone has a spare warehouse I could fill with sets for a couple of months let me know...
