Fiddle yard done

So over the weekend I finished my new fiddle yard for Buckden. There was a little bit of a gap in the foreground so I got a lineside hut - I've always been fond of these little southern concrete ones and as this isn't "on scene" I didn't mind it being a bit out of place. The absence of humbrol 95 meant resorting to a mix of Humbrol 90 and 64 for the concrete, and then revell 39 for the woodwork. After almost always using Phoenix Precision Humbrol enamels feel so thick, and Revell so thin! Just a shame Phoenix is annoying to get hold of.

 

I've included a few short goods especially for Mark, and then an oddly lit overview of the main boards just because.

 

Next up I'm going to do the same upgrade to the two sidings at the other end.

 

Marcus.

Must say Marcus this is coming on nicely.

 

The hut looks good. Concrete is one of those hard colours to get right. I've recently painted a Wills pillbox kit with Valejo acrylics which took several attempts, washes and dry brushes.

 

If you haven't tried the Valejo range its worth a go. Lovely paint to work with and water soluble.

 

Love the shots of 46403.  One day it will have to meet my 46400, 46444 and 46495. Alex has 46496.

 

At the weekend I had a real fix of 46512 on the Strathspey Railway.

Look forwards to more updates soon. Would it be worth starting a layout thread do you think?

 

Cheers,

Thanks Mark!

 

Great shot of 46512 - I keep meaning to get up to Loughborough to see 46521.

 

I've been wondering about a layout thread for a while - and yes, now that a lot of the work is done (and I can cheat and post everything I've done so far) it might be time for one...
