Thanks for showing us this, Focalplane. The low camera angle and close up view of the interior detail give the impression of a really large structure.  It shows what a good little model this is, nice design and nicely made.

Why be apologetic about another GWR layout?

Why be apologetic about another GWR layout?

Because I prefer LMS locos!  Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of affection for the GWR but somehow the entire system is just a little straight laced!  The dirt of an LMS MPD is what I remember most and that is what I really want to replicate in model form.  GWR branch lines were, well, clean, tidy and predictable!

Thank you, Steve.  I wish scalescenes would expand their range but I guess John runs a one man show.  I took the photo with my iPad mini and was impressed with the result, though I think there is some distortion surrounding the front smoke hood!

With every scalescene's model I tackle I seem to improve my skills.  Right now, though, I have a nasty paper cut on my right thumb which is making progress difficult.

A tip - don't use a straight edge, use your eye and make the first cut gentle and without too much pressure.  Then keep the blade vertical.  Then use the fine grade sandpaper as suggested in the instructions.
