Getting creative - a sketch of things too come...


James Hilton

I always find a good sketch helps me visualise how things are going to work - ever since the early days of armchair modelling for Paxton Road, so today saw me knock something up for Rose Hill.

 

Usually I'd start from scratch but I wondered if I could build on the (poor) photos I took last night with some ink to show what I have in mind and check out whether the scaling factor will still trick the eye.

What do you think?

I'm pretty pleased. I suspect I'll lengthen the platform by about 10cm (up to a metre) which will mean a little baseboard creep. I'm going to mock up the baseboard shape in paper and determine whether or not I'll need a join or not. In the meantime I really should stop browsing the forum and crack on with the Pacer!

 

(and still no fix for the blog posting date thingamy - hence the December 31st date - it's really today, Monday 4th January 2010 at 20:25).

James - have seen some of your nice sketches before for PR and this one I like the mixed medium - works well. For me, sketches and scale mock ups are a good way of 'dipping ones toe' and getting a good feel for the project before going to far in the wrong direction - Pete
