A bit more done...

Hello Again :)

 

I thought I would put together another post to show what I have been upto...

Inspired by another thread I had a go at making a 2mm scale padlock. According to the size of it, it works out at around 3 inches square.

Here it is fitted to my new little hut I made. From that photo it looks a little too big for a padlock. That photo shows the laser engraved brickwork quite well. The building still needs weathering but I will do that when I next am using the airbrush.

I have also had some time off from bits under the baseboards and moved onto a little bit of scenic stuff. This board was looking a little bare compared to the board with the bridge on so I have done some fencing, added a few bushes, and also made a start on the grass by sticking down some Woodland scenics blended turf. Once this is all dry then I can have a go with some more static grass.

 

So there you have it. A bit of progress...

Amazing detail Julia, I gave up doing a 4mm padlock for my goods shed as it was driving me crazy !

The new hut with it's engraved brickwork looks really good and sits so well with the signal box. The whole scene is coming along nicely and is blending together well with that lovely backscene.

 

The Pannier with all the daylight under the boiler is also a lovely piece of work. Have you thought of working your magic on a Peco Collet Goods to go with it ?

 

Best Wishes,

Geoff

Geoff. I have the bits to do a collet engine and as they were the most common engines on the railway then no doubt one or two will come along soon. There is an etched chassis comming out soon for them (if I can get round to sorting out some dimensions) which will make things alot easier.

Hi Missy,

 

Every time I look at your thread, you seem to raise the bar and amaze me with your exquisite work.

 

This is certainly a layout I look forward to seeing in July, hopefully you'll have found the keys by thensmile.gif .

 

Trevor.

A 2mm padlock? - insane - but I love it.

 

The backdrop is also very nice. Is it painted or a photo? If it is painted, what medium is it?

Hello :)

 

Thank you, that backdrop was painted by a guy from the High Wycombe model railway group. I believe he uses pretty much whatever he can get his hands on like acrylics, poster paints, and emulsions. I am still amazed on how brilliant it looks.
