doctor quinn Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Our demos - Getting Started feature This year at the Nottingham Model Railway Exhibition our demonstrations focus on improving modelling skills for new modellers and those returning to the hobby as well as new techniques that may be unfamiliar even to long-time modellers. Thanks to our friends at Peco, we will have a free hands-on kit building workshop. If you've never built a plastic kit before or you're just looking to improve your skills - come along and have a go. If you want to move on from "ready to plant" buildings, David Wright will be demonstrating how to make your own unique buildings using modelling clay, card and coffee cups! Green Scene's very own John Lloyd will be talking about how to build your landscape and scenery whether it's babbling brooks or pit tips Computer Aided Design - Rob Law will be talking about the techniques he uses to develop his O gauge models using Computer Aided Design, 3D printing and laser cutting to produce unique models. The Nottingham team will be on hand to share the know-how we have gained building exhibition layouts like Streatham which is making a welcome return to the Nottingham show this year. They will also be happy to talk about baseboard construction, layout wiring, DCC, scenery and any other aspect of building a layout Edited November 30, 2017 by doctor quinn 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
