Great to see progress. P.S. The mirror works particularly well in the final shot.

Many thanks Rich - yes I thing some cunning photography is required to avoid seeing twice the locos...but the buildings and wagons seem to work ok...

It had worked well enough that I had not noticed it when I first looked at the photos.

Whereas I already know it is there because I’ve been there and played with the trains. Else, I may also have not noticed.

Thanks Nick - I keep saying but you need to take those green tinted specs off

Thanks Rich - once normality returns pop back for another play...there might be a sound chipped class 37 in the stock box end of next month...

Great progress Pete. The buildings set the scene nicely and certainly capture the prototypes well...

 

Nice work on the Gronk..... Looks nicely done and picks out the detail on the model nicely.

 

Be good to see those Hoods weathered eventually...

 

Think a nice Tractor would look at home too.... 

 

 

Cheers,

Many thanks Mark.

 

Yes the hoodies are on the list to work on.

 

As for the 37...Rule No.1 that...not for exhibitions but pure home indulgence you understand...in advance of 7mm Kyle...

Nice weathering work Pete. Those Skytrex vans look very red as they come!

 

Pete, I didn't notice the mirror either until your assistant gave it away. You'll have to include a confidentiality clause in his contract 

 

 

This is looking excellent Pete!

Wow, Pete.  This is coming along nicely.  I’ve always admired your attention to precision and I can see why 0 gauge appeals to you now - the level of detail is outstanding and made maximum by your weathering and building techniques.  The subtle weathering on the buildings is superbly done.  Those long shots are a joy.  Using a mirror is a great trick and I see how you have made sure that it butts up precisely, ensuring that everything is absolutely straight so that the illusion is convincing.  Mind you, I wouldn’t expect anything else from the master of straight lines and angles.  Brilliant piece of work.

Yep I forget how red it was now when I see that picture of it!

 

Ha! I think I fessed up about the mirror myself in previous posts so no need for contracts - I recall it was all done as a hand shake...remember those?

Many thanks also Mike,

 

Am blushing here  Kind comments indeed!
 

Must admit, most of my ‘day job’ buildings are very angular so I do enjoy the straight lines! 

I am hoping to start cracking into the final details soon so it will be ready for exhibitions...remember those!...when we get back to normality...
