I am really looking forward to this one as I would have a Metropolitan/London Transport layout if I could afford and build the kits.
As for what my entry will be I have to finish the project I am half way through first then I will decide.

[flying scotsman123]

right, here we go, if i say i'm going to do it here, i might make my self actually do it i shall be doing this picture:



flying scotsman at aycliffe, i don't live there, but it is a lovely painting and something fun to do what with the stream and bridges and everything. haven't worked out completely how do do the stream yet, running a few tests, but that's part of the fun. at the moment, the only obvious change from the painting is that my version of flying scotsman has the smoke deflectotors, but this is a modelling competition, not a "how large and varied is your rtr loco stock" competion.

How hard can it be?

note; it will be something like this, I am yet to decide on an actual picture, but it'll be some form of engine outside Swindon A shop.

[hiffano]

anyhoo, anyone any more progress to report? i've not strated mine yet, but i have acquired most of the matereals i will be using. just need a coal wagon and some brick paper for the bridge

The problem Im having is perspective, even using forced perspective brickwork it still looks wrong

Having a complete rethink at the moment

[hiffano]

i avoided visible bricks
