Hroth Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 And the man claims he has limited modelling talent... Despite (unlike many modern 1:1 builders) keeping to the planned footprint of the building! And its always best to blame Victorian architects and "restorers" for wrecking the historical record in pursuit of neo-gothic/pseudo-medieval fantasy! Bravo! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 And the man claims he has limited modelling talent... While many thanks, it is just card and paper; modelling at its most basic and traditional. I could not begin to do all the clever things you do. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not begin to do all the clever things you do.No, I dispute that. I have limited abilities with a computer, far below what many can achieve, whilst not everyone is able to manage your standard of modelling. The buildings all look so beautiful, consistently.

One of Europe’s most attractive via ferratas launched in Kosovo Before you click on the link below to read the story, you can fantasise about a new railway line in the Balkans. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2018/11/16/via-ferratas-kosovo-outdoor-in/ Who said that Lonely Planet was allowed to hijack the English language? As consolation, though, I can report that the highest railway viaduct in Europe is only a few kilometers away in eastern Montenegro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mala_Rijeka_Viaduct Jonathan PS Afraid that the viaduct is a little post-Edwardian. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent terrain and vertiginous engineering. Remember, though, you don't have to go to the Balkans to find new, state of the art, railway lines. Among all the doom mongering about the fall of the pound and the inability of Britain to attract new infrastructure investment, I suspect that many of us have missed the triumphant opening ceremony for HS2, held over the weekend in Manchester's famed mediaeval quarter ...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted November 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2018 Breathtakingly beautiful modelling Sir. And the man claims he has limited modelling talent...

Hroth Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Multiple exclamation [notice correct spelling] marks: sure sign of a sick mind. "note spelling" is preferable to "my god he's heavy". As for spelin errors, I'm always open to korrecshun! Well, it makes up for other punctuation errors. Nowadays, punctuation is a guide, not a straightjacket. In a similar vein, I saw a report on, I think, the BBC website this weekend, about a minor UK university that had sent a memo to lecturers suggesting that capital letters should not be used in setting questions as they caused anxiety to students. Imperatives like Do and Don't were also deprecated for the same reason. Edited November 19, 2018 by Hroth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sem34090 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Perhaps... I accept most things, but when another respected gentleman of this parish specifically mentions a comment to me as being inappropriate I am perhaps less inclined to 'lighten up'.

Edwardian Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hmm, I think we do need to give consideration to the objects of our wit, and I confess to being somewhat uncomfortable on Sem's part. For my own part I just thought Simon was being bloody irritating as usual! [winky face] 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Bemused expression....... Going back to the drill hall, you get more done in a weekend than I do in a month. Or longer. (The Midsomer Brevis "booking shed" I illustrated with the Castle Aching poster a few pages earlier has been in cereal box form for nearly a year now. I've printed some brick paper so there may be some progress by Christmas...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yes, I’m another one who’s more talk than do on the toy train front currently. The list of worthy projects grows, and that’s about it, although I did guide the Great Fire of London to a conclusion over the weekend. The strange beasts in the attic of the middle house are ‘scale representations’ of our late spaniels, which were part of Daughter’s vision. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
