1722 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Cracking job that, Jerry. It fits right in. Weathering the track next? That’s one of my favourite bits, I just think it lifts a layout... or perhaps I’m just a little bit sad!?! Keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks Chris. I agree, weathered track makes all the difference. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry1975 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Hi Everyone. It's been a busy day so I didn't have much time for modelling but I did manage to make a start on the bridge that hides the exit ( sort of ) to the fiddle yard. I thought I would show you how I make my low relief building's etc for those who may be interested. First I get all the measurements I need and transfer these onto stiff card like that on the backs of A4 paper pads etc. Once cut out ( in the case of the bridge ) it should look like this: Tomorrow I will show you how I build the rest of it. More soon. Jerry. Ps: I will post a proper " how to " tomorrow. Edited May 20, 2018 by Jerry1975 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi Everyone. Just a small update this morning, I have painted the track, still needs a bit more work but here is a quick photo: More soon. Jerry. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShildonShunter Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Jerry it's always nice to know how modellers like yourself build things and are always happy to explain and show to other forum member's. Painting the tracks always makes the layout come to life nice progress mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks Kevin. I managed to go to the Bridlington show and I got a few bits for the layout, these will be added tomorrow as I'm very tired now. I also had a chat with Steve ( catte lane ) and saw his excellent American layout. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry1975 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks Everyone for your replies. As you may have read health issues are affecting my daily life including modelling, what I was hoping was going to be a simple build is now a as and when sort of build. Hopefully I will be able to do a bit more soon, also I will take a better photo. Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
