Well

 

Since my first posting I have been doing a lot of research on here, well actually just reading some brilliant blogs by some really talented modellers and I think some of them need some recognition for the quality of what they produce. So far my favourites that provide not only an very informative and inspiring read as in the Northall blogs, but also in the case of the Foster Street blogs a very, very amusing one too, so I would like to list the blogs that has impressed me so much so far. If you can add to the list yours or your thoughts on my selection, I will know what other ones I should be reading too.

 

My recommendations so far are

 

NORTHALL - Very inspiring models, almost makes you feel like you could actually visit the real place, in fact on some of them you would think they are real photographs of actual places.

 

BARRY O's weathering blog - Its great to see examples of such a talented modeller as he makes models look just like the real thing, and included lots of ER stock, which I would be happy collection

 

FOSTER STREET - A great looking layout, built by a great modeller, who seems to produce everything from buildings to stock to a consistent level many of us would envy, and a wicked sense of humour, even my dear Lady wife enjoyed reading the series so far, especially references to the Domestic Overlord.

 

CHRIS G's BLOG - A brilliant series on how to build a prototype location, and how all aspects are considered. just like articles use to be in the press years ago

 

So what else should I be reading, what do you recommend, and do you share my views on the above?

For how to do it  - Snitzl's blogs - a superbly illustrated guide to construction techniques.

 

Also Mikkel's  "how to eat an Elephant"  series , somewhat skewed towards GWR prototypes, but superb modelling.

I would agree on Foster Street blog. Not read the others you mentioned. I would recommend Andy.P's "West Shed" blog.

May I suggest that this subject may be better as an ongoing thread than a simple blog post.

Sorry I'm new to this site, how would I go about doing that?

 

I must admit the Foster Street blog keeps me laughing to myself, and wondering were does the lad find all the time to create the models, I need to see this layout in the flesh, I will ask when its next out I think
