  1. Bridge structure has now been joined fully and covered in plastered bandage.
  2. Is it the same giant rat that appears to be climbing the back wall.
  3. Started work on the over part of the bridge today. A kit of girders for the ends and some salvaged back scrubber parts.
  4. I finally got around to producing something. Starting point was a piece of packaging polystyrene. Already broken it needed reconnecting and shaping slightly.
  5. It looks like he has an adapted shoe on his right foot. Does he have a club foot? Do club feet run in the family?
  6. There has to be at least one use for Izal!
  7. Will the horse make a bolt for the door? Or will the smith?
  8. More like a "bargain" thread where they get quite shirty
  9. Very relaxed on this thread. Other threads woukd be screaming "get back on topic". It must be the therapeutic affect of that garden.
  10. It's good to see that the pesky buddleia has been kept out of the garden. It grows so predominantly near railways. I guess the shiny dog doesn't get to "go" in that garden. Did you buy the plants or make them Kevin? A very convincing display. Re the new build, will we see deliveries of windows etc arriving on site? I imagine they arrive by train due to the close proximity.
  11. A well ordered garden, a pergola, a dovecote, a knitted brass bench what next I ask myself. Excellent modelling.
  12. There is a smelting works on the local trading estate where they produce inhabitants when not producing dogs.
  13. Some things rest more easily on the eye than others. To myself and several others the signal box sign was ok. To SM it was slightly large. I wouldn't pick up on the slight difference in the fourfoot or sixfoot but I noticed the downpipe. Overall the quality outweighs the small blemishes. Maybe a scenario could be staged near the box. 2 workmen and a lookout, are about to replace the signalbox signage. I wonder if any modellers replicate railways correctly? Build the scenic part first and then construct the trackwork onto it. Dynamiting polystyrene, chicken wire, plaster rocks etc to lay a track bed.
  14. Personally I didnt think the branch line justified a wow. I just tittered a little
  15. and photoshop the black 5 out and put a nice green GWR loco in
  16. It looks good. Lucky its not Llanfair...................
  17. Perhaps the horses eyes were double glazed because he had just had his oats hat, coat, muffler gone
  18. What about an art fixative spray on the brick paper after printing it?Have you tried printing onto water colour artist paper. It gives a texture to the brickwork. Especially good for stonework.
  19. PC Dibble is keeping a pretty low profile and may have left Muddle already. As we havent seen him yet we may need the Mayor to turn the lights off
  20. I think it all depends if it's a Kentish barn or a barn of Kent! Perhaps we need a referendum on this.
  21. If they can grow tea in Cornwall I am sure you can have a Kentish barn, an oasthouse and a vineyard. I apologise for distracting you from the modelling. Will the houses be built by Italian POW's who stayed in Devon after WW11 ended?
