marc smith Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Quarry is a fine name - nothing wrong with itHave you any plans drawn up yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryP123 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi, When I first saw the Cakebox challenge in my issue of BRM, I was very interested in it. I want to prove that, as I have seen it said on other social media sites, that modelling is NOT just for older people. I would like to prove that wrong by introducing my cake box challenge... The Quarry (I really couldn't come up with a better name ). It utilises peco n gauge track, with the basic surface level built up and filler put around the rails and sleepers to hide their small size. The whole thing was then sprayed grey. The scenery was built up using layers of cork painted black, then the entire model was covered in a layer of real broken up slate. World War Scenics grass tufts where then added sparingly. The build was done over the course of a week. The model Dolgoch is a kit built item, and the wagons are peco. Henry (15) Had some trouble getting the forum to work, kept cutting out half my text so it is posted above! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Looks great Henry, like the way you've organised the slate, looks very realistic. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickon Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg Henry. This is a brilliantly simple and atmospheric little model. However, if you haven't already done so, may I suggest that it would be even atmospheric if you were to weather those wagons. They need to be as filthy and rusty as everything else. Keep up the good work; it's fabulous. Edited January 7, 2018 by Dickon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work; it's fabulous. Yes, I feel the wagons do need weathering... on of the buckets on the v skips needs to be painted blue to be a model of the (full size) one i have outside!
