Sorry for neglecting this thread here’s a few photo dumps of layout updates- progresss on extension featuring new laser cut- designed by me bridge, clad in slaters. low relief buildings and hardstanding using plasticard and lighting.

After a busy evening down the local communal workshop got some more boards built up. from 4ft x2ft to 12ftx2ft

***Disclaimer - i wanted a cheap as chips project for a relatively nice finshed coach - these are not 100% accurate and are more 'testbeds' Hornby teaks from start to finish. Citadel wash to all wood finsish (x3) Roof resprayed in satin white. Chassis and bogies given a dirty matt black paint. Hornby 14mm wheels replacing the chunky wheels. Hornby 4 Wheel coach from start to finish: Roof repainted Chassis given a dirty matt black paint. Hornby 14mm wheels replacing the chunky wheels. Body given a light rub down, coat of ammo mig dark brown followed by a light buff. and then once dry wash applied. Both projects when finished given a once over (Wood finish) with a stiff bristle hair brush to leave a patina.

Thank You @saxokid
