Making the retaining walls for the road underneath the railroad

Test fit of the retaining walls for the road under the station.
When this has been glued in and the road surface connected to the bridge, traffic can for the first time ever flow over the river that hasn’t been built yet. But first it has to be painted.

Painted and glued the retaining walls. First I airbrushed bluish gray. Then filling in the engraving with thick warm paint as mortar and wiping off the excess on the stones.

The surface to the bridge has been laid down and for the first time ever the people across the river that doesn’t exist yet can get to the model railroad club.

Finishing up the curved sloping retaining wall along the tracks. No idea how I modeled things like this before Laser Tools and Unroll.

Added the wall part of the retaining wall and painted it. I made a cardboard house as a kid with a curved sloping retaining wall, but this one is nicer quality

The one at Slussen, Stockholm, I would guess.

Correct!
I’m modeling the small stretch between Södermalm and Norrmalm through Gamla Stan. Originally Stockholm had two railway stations, one with trains going north and one with trains going south. This short railway between them, “Sammabnbindningsbanan”, connected the railways and allowed the city to have a single central station.
Mine version uses heavy selective compression to get in everything I need. The buildings are in scale 1:220 (Z scale) like the trains. The footprint of the island Riddarholmen is compressed to a 1:500 scale and only a handful of buildings are kept. The water is compressed even more.

Is this hobby, work or other?
Is most of your work digital or physical?
Would it be accurate to say the digital modeling is simply to enhance (or help with accuracy or 3d printing) the physical modeling?
It’s so interesting that one of the more popular SKP devs is more into the physical modeling than the digital (or at least as much).
This is for hobby, model railroading 
Growing up I modeled with the 3D model as the end goal. Then I used it in architecture school with the presentation as the e d goal and in an internship with visualization of things that were actually built. In the last few years I’ve done software development for work and primarily used SketchUp for my cute little trains

I see it now. Just a bit over from where we stayed at the Af Chapman. Maybe you need some Coastguard speedboats in the water like we saw filming Kanal Kampen? (See this post)

Those are cool boats. And very Swedish!
I don’t know how much I can fit in, but I do have ideas about about a Swedish JAS 39 Gripen aircraft mounted on the top of a long bendy spring that moves around erratically.

That list is wrong. And that said a lot coming from a Lundensare!
Some 56 years ago I was at a nordic youth meeting and we were served a meal in “Blå hallen”. It is a magnificent space. From that time I also like Torben Grut’s architecture. He also designed a super lovely fire station in Jakobstad, Finland, together with the adjoining tobacco factory.

I saw one of those flying about and going into a full vertical climb while visiting my wife’s relatives in Vikingstad, near Linköping. That was pretty neat just driving down the road and seeing that.
