Foster Street - Changes to the Canal Or When you cant think of an idea CHEAT

Well the Domestic Overlord abandoned me today, and left me all alone. on myself with nobody to keep me safe or protect me from the wild animals and monsters that are just waiting for the chance to get me....and they nearly did, but as you can tell I managed to fend them off..........for now at least.

 

Anyway freedom is a terrible thing, I don't like it, its not safe, it fills your mind with lots of thoughts which is not good, and there is nobody there to tell you that the thing you are currently doing it either dangerous, stupid or dangerously stupid :)

 

After I plucked up the courage to come out from hiding under the duvet, I decided to do a little bit more work on Foster Street, the signals are an on-going drain on my modelling time and not one of my favourite pass times so I slapped a bit of paint on them and while they were drying did something I actually enjoyed. Well at the very least an improvement of making @~%*& signals.

 

As you know Foster Street has a canal and a factory close by, this area has been scenically detailed, but was lacking various signs of activity and people so I thought I would try and reconcile this. During my extensive periods of research, well actually when I just trawl through those things called books, or even look at this thing called the interwebnet thingy I came across many interesting pictures. During the war some factories built lean to structures over there loading bays to keep things secret.

 

I even found a picture of canal boats that were camouflaged so that they could not been seen by prying eyes, so with my head filled with ideas, I decided to add some additions to the area just like the men from the military would.

 

Was it worth the effort, well I think so, in fact I have done such a good job of adding a bit of secrecy to the area, that I even don't know what they make, the bad news is that, the well known danger to civilisation "Billy Grimes" has been sniffing about...... So until the next time Happy Modelling :)

Hi Paul, glad you managed to fend off the monsters. You are right, freedom is overrated, but thankfully we have our model railways and other diversions to avoid looking it in the eye ;-)

 

Nice work with the camouflage, they are really trying hard to cover up what's going on at that factory, I hope Billy Grimes will tell us what he finds out.

 

Be careful with all that camouflage though, you might not be able to find the layout again :-)

I think my sanity must be very well camouflaged as I lost it years ago, and I have not been able to find in since.:(
