Progress continues. Well it wouldn't be progress otherwise would it? I've been experimenting with weathering using baby powder mixed with Carrs powders. As you can see I couldn't resist putting a few models out to take a few photos.
After trying a number of different colours and paints, I settled on a grey/brown mix sprinkled onto wet Humbrol acylic (roof grey). I've made three batches up varying the blend of Carrs to give a mottled effect. I'm quite pleased with it. More clay has been laid. I daresay that despite my best efforts I'll have to spend ages getting all the excess clay out from the rail webs before anything will move under its own power.
The carriage shed now has a roof. This was achieved with lots of individually stuck on sheets of South East Finecast corrugated plastic.
The tanks were cream so my sources tell me and the models were sprayed many times until I settled on the colour. There's still a lot of black outlining to add and a bit of detailing before it's complete, but it's getting there.
I've made a start on the station building. This will eventually have a corrugated metal roof from Ambis sheet, as I did with Weston. I'm guessing the internal layout a little bit. I know where things were from external signage and photos, but I'm making the layout in the Gents up.
The River Yeo has turned a hideous white colour. Obviously the PVA factory in Parnell Road has had a spillage. Let's hope it dries clear!
