Tarn Model Foundry

I’ve knocked up some Marshal Posts in plaster, and added the available stock to the shop.

There are two styles, one a ‘tyre wall’ version, and the other a plain concrete wall. Both bases have the following features…

• Cast in ‘Model Plaster’ – harder than normal plaster, but can shatter.
• One piece casting
• Edges roll down, but can be cut to butt edge if required
• Area behind wall/barrier is modelled as gravel surface
• Gravel area is big enough to stand F302 Scalextric TV Tower

You can either buy the posts as a plain casting, and paint it yourself, or buy as prepainted. Tyre Wall versions have alternating colours, and are currently supplied as Red/White, Blue/White or Black/White.

Different colours can be supplied – please email with your requirements for a quote.

Below is an example of how by using matching scatter grass, the base can blend in with the same grass paper on a baseboard. In the picture I have used the Javis ‘Spring Grass’ scatter and grass mat. The F302 TV Tower sits on the gravel area.

I’ll add a page on ‘how to’ paint and weather the bases as soon as I can.

Prices for the bases are £4.99 for unpainted, and £9.99 for the painted versions.

These two new bases, along with any other new trackside items will not count towards my target for new releases…
