Not quite Spielberg !

Sandhills

I was going to work on the board during Easter Sunday but after reviewing the weather first thing and seeing that it was turning into a pleasant day, Joey and I decided to move board, stock boxes & Dynamis outside for a bit of a play !!

Everything had a turn and a chorus of engines have been singing away all day whilst we got on with some tidying, weeding and relaxing.

We also devoured a large quantity of chocolate !!

 

Very new to videoing my little creations, however, we have had a quick go today and I plan, after the purchase of some decent converting, editing and playback software tomorrow, to have a better go at it next week and hopefully, time permitting, will have more than 2ft of board to capture the action on by then !!

 

4 links to YouTube below -

(The picture quality & frames per second will improve next week, i promise)

 

 

 

 

There you go then, apart from the obvious picture quality issues, wooden driving skills & reduced setting, let me know what you think and if you want more. We enjoyed doing them but without the conversion software to mpeg, as AVI files the uploading time is silly and its took all night just to sort those 4 clips ! I will invest in the software required if they prove popular !

 

You may have noticed the only addition to the board this weekend in the form of some trees. 7 added but I reckon on another 20+ doing the trick across the board ! It aint going to be cheap, thats for sure !!

 

A handful of pics to finish with another of the Vac that I couldnt resist as its taken facing the unfinished side of the board, the grid makes an appearance and the 20 is pictured dumped on the blocks having a well earned rest.

 

(A couple of RMwebs' more experienced members pointed out to me the other day that maybe I went a little OTT on the colour saturation at times and after reviewing my gallery I agreed as it was obvious that quite a few shots were less realistic & a little too punchy due to the colours. I have banned any twiddling of the colour saturation knob on paintshop from now on and hopefully you will be able to 'spot the difference' with these shots ?!)

Hi Jon Wahay we have moved in to the moving world of Sandhills, great video clips :D I love the fact that the wind was catching the leaves in the trees and ivy in the 2nd clip with 47535 on high-level. The lighting was very effective too.

 

Now we know that you are a very creative modeller and that your realism skills are second to non, but how on earth did you create your back scene? ;) I mean, I have never seen moving clouds on a backboard before, very subtle and extremely effective :P - if only you could market that as a product....

 

You may have written it previously but who's sound chip is in 47535?

Morning Paul,

 

Cheers mate, was keen to get outside this morning and do a few more clips but I dont think the very realistic rain and gale force wind will do my scenics or stock much good !!

 

The sound on 535 is Howes. Had the Bachmann factory sound in 402 before and I didnt like that but this is something else ! Very handy functions on F9 & F10 with shunting mode & acc/dec limit. Perfect for plenty of play in a small space. Saves a lot of bother having to mess around with the CV's.

Good Stuff Jon

 

I suggest you put the 50 on the top of the p4 list as those undersized wheels and too big gap above the bogies really stand out at these low levels you use.

 

Cheers

 

Jim
