Will J's Random Adventures in N Gauge

You might be better off dry brushing the colours rather than washing as this keep the shadows in the creases and folds. I have taken to washing the skin areas with a fairly dark brown though as this seems to accentuate the features nicely. Just one last thing, there is nothing worse than shiny people so a quick spray of matt varnish to finish off - sorry there is some thing worse than shiny people - shiny cars!

OK, will have a go along those lines, in fact I have lots of people so I can try a few approaches and see what sticks!

 

PS. agreed on the cars, see extra picture on the bottom of the post (all N Gauge!)

The station building is looking great Will.

 

Regards, Andy

A great looking layout, and good progress on the Arley Station building. I assume your un-named RMWeb event is ours at Weston on Trent. Looking forward to seeing you there. Just waiting for your form back Will :-)

Hi Andy,

 

form on the way.. on top of my 'to do' list!

 

Looking forward to the Weston on Trent show!

The fact you get any modelling done with little people around shows that there is hope for me still. Thank you.

Thanks Will. Now I know you are coming I will update the show blog. I have a couple of "announcements" to add.

Howdy Will. 

 

That station building looks great, definitely a good use of 3D printing! 

 

Tom.

Good to hear you are at the Weston show too, is Foster Street starts to play up I know where I can call for help,  Andy the form should be winging its way to your in box

Wow, I hadn't realised, always handy to have a show neighbour with a tame 'flying pig' to trot over the bridge as an escapee.

 

I'll be sure to bring any LMS stock I have finished!

Thanks Paul, all received. Yes Will the RMWeb exhibitors list is growing by the day. That is five confirmed members already with at least another 3 possible, and looking for more. Check out the show's thread for updates.

Should have my paperwork with you later this evening!

Received Will thanks.

Don't mention the "flying pig" its had its wings clipped for the time being as its original chassis started playing up, but I have a replacement to hand but I just need time to alter it slightly

Well, you have 5 months ;-)

Only 5 months- that's not long enough

Same amount of time I have to build an extension to my layout.

I love the wiped grime on the windscreen, would be a nice touch in O gauge but in N ........
