[Forecourt gates & the Abbey Woods]

Very nice! I think the building looks just right.

[Braking a Binnie - Part 3]

Wow, that looks excellent! The brake extension is very effective and merges seamlessly with the actual truck. Very nice!

["You're just wasting your time"]

The lights would be on and the curtains open on a dark autumn/winter/spring day...

[CR Diagram 3 wagon build. Painted and in service.]

Very nice!

[Painting cars.]

Very nice Job!

 

Your scenes are very evocative and modelled to a very high and consistent standard. Hope you get your eyes sorted.

[Modern Outline Kits 14XX]

Very nice. It looks a well designed kit. All of Bob Jones' 2FS kits incorporate very accurate slot and tab locators and make them very pleasing to assemble.

[Backscene painting, or dabbling with acrylics!]

Dave, beautifully done!  The back scene really adds so much depth to the modelled scene.  You've certainly done a better job than I did with the Modbury back scene :-)

 

Regards.

Ian

Oh I'd beg to differ, Ian. Your own backscene has been done very nicely too. Slightly different style, but certainly to the same excellent quality as Dave's exquisite rendering.

[GWR Buffalo (1076 Class) in 2FS (Part 2)]

Excellent work Ian. Given me some good pointers for how I might progress my next loco chassis which is going to need as much weight as possible. Thanks!

[Platform surface part 2]

Very attractive! Nice work.

[Using a colour palette]

Colour is key in model making. Too often the colours are overstated or the palette is too wide. Pull it back and just stick the occasional curveball in to keep them on their toes.

[Backscenes - Trials and tribulations of a would be artist (Part II)]

Looking good Ian. Have you considered painting a few larger trees towards the foreground? This would aid the transition from backscene to 3d model. You need to be a little bold, but it's worth it.
