Two Flat Out Terriers - OR - Fiddling with Some roofs
The last few weeks have been what could be called manic to say the least, the strange thing is you can always seem to find extra hours to spend at work, but you can never find hours to spend on modelling.
As a result modelling time has been like a Midget Drug Dealer, in Very Short Supply, anyway I digress as a n LMS fan I managed to find a prototype picture of two Terriers totally flat out.
With the cheeky girls snoring their heads off at the side of me, I managed to produce a few "slate" strips and widows for what seems like and endless number of terraced houses (the next layout will definitely a rural layout) so progress was slow but it was still progress.
I still have window sills to make and fit, along with front doors, of and fit some curtains but they are looking very nondescript which is what I set out to achieve, to add a little variety though I have decided to model a tired house.
There is still a lot of detailing to add but I thought I would try and model a demolished house in the process of being cleared/rebuilt, I'm not sure how successful this will be of if its worth the effort (probably why you don't see many) but I might persevere and see how many modelling hours I can waste on this. Progress has meant that one side of the street has things that look like buildings on it, all I have to do now is work on the other side (oh and finish the house backs and yards etc, bit I'm nearly there).
There is still a lot of work to complete on the street scene on board 1, and yet even more buildings but from a distance its looking balanced to my eyes and least, and I have even managed to start to look at the station area of the layout, you can even see a little sneaky preview of the track plan.
What I need to do is to start work on mortising the trams, and testing how sharp a curve they can run round, just to have a break from endless terraced houses, if only to save what is left of my sanity.
So until the next time, as ever Happy Modelling
