sb67 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Gave my Hornby Pug a little run this eve, weathered by drybrushing and powders, I might add a little bit more before it's finished. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Could you try using pencils or chalks on those white window frames? steve As it's all stuck in place I'm a bit wary of messing up the whole window. I might give it a try on one a bit later. Or I could use the story that the factory has had new windows fitted recently ;-) Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 A little bit of progress, I've added some 'leaves' on the bridge, they must have fallen from a tree nearby somewhere! And painted some of the yard area using some techniques from Gordon Gravetts book, gloss paint and some ash and talcum powder sieved on.

sb67 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Added a warehouse, just got to weather it a bit better, had a disaster with the humbrol weathering powders,and bed it in, the graffiti will be covered with a fence and weeds etc. Steve. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booking Hall Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is looking really good. It's making me want to start another industrial layout! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks guys, I've been spurred on by both of your layouts so I'd look forward to seeing some more. Steve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Been planting weeds and brambles! Next step is to paint the fence and fix it in place, I've got a Lifecolour Weathered Wood set that I've been wanting to use for a while so finally I can!

sb67 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Fence painted and fixed, I had a small problem as all the weeds I put in wouldn't let the fence sit upright so they had to come out! I'll put them back as soon as the glue has dried. Steve. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Started planting some weeds, got to be patient though as I get one bit to look right then stick another bit in and pull the first bit out of place! Steve. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Fence all finished. I've now got to move on and put something in between the tracks in front of the bridge, I was thinking about a hut or grounded van body but I cant really make my mind up yet.

Jerry1975 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Looking very good,I really like the atmosphere you have created, also I would go for a hut over a grounded van but I do have a strange fondness for huts.

I actually find that a grounded van would be better (in my opinion) as it's something that would look good and will really catch people's attention. A hut is still a good idea although if it was me I'd go for the grounded van. It would also be a good scratchbuilding project, and a base for weathering practice too.

SouthernBlue80s Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 For a bit of inspiration - A grounded van on one of mine. Built it from a kit and then weathered. Perhaps a small box van on yours? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I like that grounded van a lot, I would only have room for a box van though. Although I have a couple of hut kits unbuilt! Steve. Edited January 12, 2018 by sb67 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
