Northall

Job -

 

Excellent!  We need more entries where models are 'brought to life'!  Mikkel is a past-master at it - and we often forget that we try to represent something that served real people in a real world.

 

Is the tea still available??

Thanks Ian.

This tea is still available in Canada. But I'm not a tea drinker, I prefer coffee (only in the morning) or hot water.

And just like inspector Morse I like a good pint of British ale. Sometimes Hobgoblin is available here and we really enjoyed Organic Oxford Gold.

 

I agree real people bring a scenic scene to life.  And I also like to read Mikkel's Farthing blog for that. To capture a time means for me also to look tho the social background of the time a try to capture.

Daily life scenes are really important for me to get the right picture of the time I try to put down in my diorama's.

Hi Job, ah this is brilliant. The Northall Gazette is one of my favourite reads - along with the Ambridge Echo by the way :-)

 

I watched a re-run of a Morse episode the other day, and it still stands out as something very special. Quite apart from all that, the building is looking very good. It already has that very special shade of colour that is becoming your "signature", I think. 

If neither of you have seen 'Endeavour' (Morse as a young DC) - keep an eye out.  I actually preferred it to the 'Morse' series (his D.I. brings back memories!).

Thanks Mikkel.

The texture I used for the building is a re-sized O scale texture from Clever models. They have nice brick textures that I like very much.

 

Ian, I have seen some episodes of 'Endeavour'. Liked them very much, a lot of atmosphere. Totally different than 'Morse'. But there are more very good English detective series I like.

Job
