Some nice work there Job, and thank you for doing the step by step method you've used.

 

I purchased the book by Emmanuel Nouaillier and its an excellent manual for his methods should anyone wish to aspire this type of modelling.

Thanks for the compliment, Graham. In his last article in a Belgian Railway model Magazine he says: You must always look to "new" other methods; techniques; materials for painting your models. He showed some excellent small masterpieces in that Magazine. Have a look at this atmospheric one https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2L8gD-KfGCw/W4I-Rx8gmEI/AAAAAAAAEls/7BEvTygXP0Ex6g4hTVc1OAIru5Mpi63swCLcBGAs/s1600/03.jpg Can still learn a lot from him.

Hi Job, Nice work as usual. I seem to remember reading in some journal that Roy England, founder of Pendon, used paper / card construction for his buildings and would glue his 1mm x 3mm paper bricks on individually and paint them with furniture wood dye's. When you consider the scale size of a brick, it seems a liitle daunting. Alan Downes in his early days, also used the same methed but used computer chats ( a small brick size piece of paper punched out of computer reading cards ). Don't expect you to try this method, just mentioned it because of your reference to Pendon.

Thanks for the compliment and the information Pete. I mostly look at the kind of diorama I want to build to make a choice for the materials. Like the canvas paper for printing brick in 4mm scale. Have seen a method on a railway exhibition in the past were someone painted a piece of art paper with brick colours and then cut out the individual bricks.  Can not remember in what scale it was. In the end it is the final result that counts. 

An excellent guide, Job, thanks very much. The results are very convincing.

 

That photo of Emmanuel's work that you linked to is incredible.

Thanks Mikkel. The photo's of Emmanuel's work are very inspirational for me. Although I think I can reach his level its the goal I always set. I try to achieve the best result I can at this moment, keeping in mind the excellent modelling of others, including yours.
