Wonderful modelling. That resin casting method works well, gives a solid look to the masonry. 

Thanks very much. It certainly saved the hassle of having to make each section again and again. I have another part of the layout, the carriage sheds, which will require a similar approach.

Simply stunning

Thank you 

As others have said - excellent modelling and a marvellous set of photos as well - I especially like the BW version at the end - I can almost sense the aroma.  It led me to take a look at the Camden Stables Market on Google Street View and it looks to be a fascinating place for a visit

Just brilliant!  Who makes the Rat Catcher?  Is it yours or modified?

Thank you. The figures are by ModelU from their ‘Ragged Victorians’ range. Having painted a few now I wouldn’t want any other figures. Because they’re 3D scans of real people, the quality is outstanding, the downside is that they make all my other figures look blobby!

Thank you, it’s a very interesting bit of London, the history of Camden and it’s connection to the London & Birmingham Railway is fascinating. There’s still a lot to see.

The man with the dog and the stick is 200% Victorian, an entire age captured in the pose of a small figure! 

 

Thanks Mikkel. The ModelU figures are pricey but well worth the money.

Special thanks to you for the tip about the straw/hay. I used an off-cut of hessian from the local upholsterers all chopped up into little bits, worked really well.

I always think the ModelU figures look to well nourished for Victorians or Edwardians.

I guess the issue is that they're scans of 21st century people, very well fed compared with their 19th century forebears. I thought the rat catcher was fairly slim and I have another character who looks positively emaciated. I'm not sure whether to think 'That's more like it' or to call a doctor...!

It looks brilliant. In addition to all the above I also love the colour on the brick and the care taken to get convincing mortar courses; the way it is bedded in to the really effective ground, and, despite the fact that it is made out of repeating sections, I can see no joins. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, much appreciated.
