Hi Jim,

I suppose you can't get a spray foam can large enough ?
Shows you never know whats under your feet ?

I need to keep pushing this along regardless of that 1st May start. Wanting to add a stream meant attaching a front extension, this is now screwed and glued into place. O.K so a couple of screws in that road will need covering when the stream banks are profiled with plaster. https://image.ibb.co/doX...

A nice result there Tony.

White metal rolling stock kits have too many problems to solve for
me to even try one.

Always like to watch the building of lightweight structures.
I tend to be Victorian and over strength everything.

Looks like your CRT monitor is happy enough in the loft Jim.
Mine gives me all sorts of different colour mixes - the humidity
I think, waiting for it to give up !!

Keep working away - you must be running out of space now.

If you don't try a few different ideas the whole experience could become boring, sleeper spacing is O.K, but something was missing from a Diorama to be called "Country Living", WATER, I do like trying to add some. Extending the build wasn't a problem, Alex may almost forgive me. A stream w...

I shall be disqualified, but it's the thought that counts ! Alex is running a Spring 2018 modelling 'Event', he says to start at the beginning of May. Tough as I've already started what I said I'd enter, and I don't have time, or inclination to do another project. As a result I'll put photographs an...

I had to try something new on my latest little diorama board. Dave of this parish was always dissatisfied with Peco track sleeper spacing. Me being a heathen was happy enough with code 100 and used as it came. This small diorama was almost made without any railway association, but in the end decided...

Bought my copy today ............. Deserving every one of it's 6 pages. For many of us this is the dream layout and I feel privileged to have followed it's development over several years. Even if future development is minimal I do hope we keep on getting those updates. I also have a grin at your una...

Absolutely stunning as usual Jim - I can almost hear the gentle rain falling !!

Hi Jim, Sequencing can be important, but being driven by the moment I do what I feel like. Usually I add a matt varnish last, because to get the rusty mix I usually use it includes mixing in some gloss brown. More often than not I do more than one dirty wash, based simply on being able to add more, ...

He, He, Jim we both agree !! I gave up using an airbrush 20 years ago ? Still have a couple around somewhere. Too danm messy, cutting paint back with thinners, then the thorough clean up afterwards. Lazy - Yes I'll admit it, if it can't be done by rattle-can, or brush, change the subject !! No need ...

Wagons now decalled up :- https://image.ibb.co/g4NeEx/IMG_2651.jpg Southern van from the HMRS pressfix wagon sheet with Fox waterslide transfers used on the Parkside 13 ton medium goods.
