That's incredible  - well done that man! Looks just like it

That looks superb, really atmospheric, but can we see a pic. of it without the distracting background please?

 

Paul.

Whitby Abbey - excellent - all you want now is Dracula?

 

Regards  Ray

It does look a little creepy huh! Maybe because there arn't people, animals or cars?

It looks even better without the stormy background (its not that i didn't like it, it just distracted from the modelling) - thanks for editing.

 

Prieser make a HO vampire, and a grim reaper...

 

Paul.

The Grim Reaper would definately fit the bill. Am going to the Model Railroad Fair in Eugene next month and should find one there hopefully. 

Like this a lot! the first pictures have a great foreboding look. And the last two show your handy-work nicely. (Does Mrs.S take commissions??)

What a great entrance to a fiddle yard.... Abandon hope all ye who enter here!!

Thanks for the encouraging comments.

Once I manage to give Mrs Sasquatch a nudge in the right direction (usually a trip to a sushi restaurant, or home made roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings) she really gets stuck into it. In 2011 she did 90% of Goathlands scenics in 4 long weekends! She even goes to the local hobby store and comes back with bags full of scenics. One time she accompanied me on a trip up to Roseburg and raided the "Macs Tracks" Noch scenic section to the point where you could see $ $ signs in Macs eyes! Not sure about commisions though. 

More of her work on this page which also shows CGrahams layout.

My next blog will cover base board joints and will show how I did the tunnel!

True Gothic modelling, I love it! I really like the colouring and the way you have managed to keep the mortar relatively clean. I can almost hear the thunder and the screams...great work!

Mrs. Sasquatch here....ahem... so yes, l-o-n-g... grueling hours on scenery with nightmares of what was to come on my days off.  Four three weeks prior to train show. Honestly was a grumpy  Mrs. Sasquatch. Only hope this year Mr. Sasquatch is content with taking one of his existing layouts.  

As you know I love this so much I have sought out Linka moulds in a hope of emulating your work. VERY inspiring.And thanks again for your kindness in providing details on your Goathland layout thread. Have you considered making copies and selling them for Warhammer enthusiasts? or will Mrs Sasquatch want to strangle me.? 

 

Awesome! Positively pregnant with bat-like creatures of the night.

 

Tony.

Gosh I like that.  Makes me want to try and build a little Rock of Cashel:

 

So impressive, it makes me want to cry over my own inadequacies.

A friend of mine, who used to live in Northumbria, and I were on a business trip to Canada, and we latched on to a tour of a forest (or something that I can't remember). As the tour guide pointed out that the trees were almost a thousand years old, Mike turned to me a grinned "oh, so almost as old as Whitby Abbey then!"

Excellent work.

Wish my attempts with Linka were as impressive.
