I started with the design of Caroline Street when I finished Station Road.

I had made my wish list for this one before I started with the first drawings:

- a row of Victorian 2up 2down cottages

- a factory

- a just a few people ( I had the idea of just one)

- a balanced colour choice

- the right choice of textures

The first attempts did go to the recycle bin. I tried to add some track into the diorama, but that didn’t work out. So you have to imagine that the goods line is in front of the diorama going along the factory.

Finally I came op to this one:

Build with black and white texture. After some try outs I decided to use Scalescenes textures again, because they suit my way of working.

The main scene is a somewhat older porter working at the Northall Goods Yard, enjoying his Sunday rest, talking to a neighbour girl. The scene is placed in the late 1950’s again.

In the picture below you can see the working points for the final design.

To be sure the it will all work out I will build a test diorama with the colours I want to use for the final result. My black and white textures are printed on a laser printer and I noticed by building Station Road that there is a small difference in scale when I printed the colour sheets on my inkjet printer.

The colour try out version is also to see how many and what pages I have to print. This because I will use some other paper this time for the parts that will be in sight. This paper is more expensive, so I will be sure that I don’t print pages that are not used.

If anyone has useful information, comments or suggestions please let my know.

Kind regards,

Job
