The most significant progress in July was development of the access hatch covering. I cut a basically square piece of 2” pink insulation to fit in the gap. But first I closed the gap by about 8 inches or so with the same insulation braced into place permanently. I then poured the road of the insulation so it is in place now forever. I covered the edges of the removable piece with some pieces of plaster cloth and then painted the whole thing brown. You can see it in place here in the middle of the layout. I’ll get to the scenery on it later, the main thing is that I was really not sure how I would go about doing the actual covering.
