Scenery Clinic, September, 2008
On Saturday 6 Sept, Peter van der Molen presented an excellent clinic in scenery modeling using “Model Cement’. 24 members were present when Peter demonstrated how simple it is to use “Model cement’ to create realistic mountains, track base and roads. Members were impressed with the ease of use, the colour range and low cost of the materials. Peter will be at the 2009 Brisbane Train Show with his product and we will ask him to present a clinic again next year.
