Work in progress – Soerabaja Harbour part II

I have made quite a bit of progress on the Dutch East Indian harbour of Soerabaja. In the first post I had cut out most of the parts and finished one of them and also gave some tips on how to transform pink polystyrene sheets into decent looking stone.

This was rather tedious... to say the least.

I 'wrote' some cracket stones here and there.

I’ve cut the pieces with my trusty hobby knife with extractable blade. It’s a very good idea to use fresh blades. Trust me. It's difficult to cut the corners even with a sharp blade. 

Starting to look like a stone dock.

The gap between the main harbour and the removable jetty. A slight warping of the long harbour-piece made a small height difference. Not much and I feel it's okay.

As you can see I’ve started to give the fantastic Sarissa bridge some stonework. More on that in a future post.

I actually used my brain during construction! The steps take a 1" base.

Now I’ve finished all those parts and the whole thing as starting to look rather interesting.

I’ve decided to make a couple more stone jetties of different sizes to be able to rebuild the harbour in different ways.

You can see a tug that just arrived in the post and I'm still waiting for a crane. 

More updates to come.
