Update: 600,003 views! Is this the highest number on RMweb?

Excuse the sky and the lack of smoke.

I use a plastic scale figure in photos for people to judge scale. His name is Erbert.

Clicking the link took me to a whole new world (of possibilities).

Coming soon to a website near you! ManCam! Seriously though, this is mind-numbingly good stuff! :imsohappy: :imsohappy:

Let me know next time you are in Brisbane. I have a small gift for your airport.

Did you manage to get it tax exempt? Looking nice. I think I might have pre-ordered one of these last year with Hattons. Never got an email to say the panniers were available. Mind you, funds are tight so I would have passed on it anyway. Shame, that would have finished my loco stable for my unbuilt West of Worcester idea.

Know what you mean by folding modelling vouchers. Very scarce this time of year in Australia as well. They must have emigrated for the winter.

Shortly afterwards I trod on them while they were on the floor, and they were never quite the same again. So they are being modelled as down-at-heel, then?

Too late now but I have used these walls on my layouts and they are fantastic. Rubber moulding so they are flexible, prepainted and come with double-sided adhesive on the back. Can be cut with a sharp knife etc. http://www.choochenterprises.com/HOwalls.html Just a happy customer.

The harbour looks very small and to some extent, an after-thought. Can you make it larger or delete the front edge (?) Maybe a hint of what it is rather than a complete shape? Other than that, keep going!

Ahhhh! But the paint does good things later on, like protecting timber from moisture etc. Well worth the self-flagellation at this stage believe me!
