KNP Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Many thanks for the responses but..... The answer is....... 30 second wait.......... A fresh piece of toilet paper direct from the roll, pulled into individual layers and glued onto the roof like glass fibre matting Once dry it sets rock hard! so mould into shape whilst still wet (talking from experience here as the first shed roof covering I couldn't bend around the edge so had to be scrapped) Edited April 23, 2017 by KNP 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Would it work with a sheet of Izal ? Didn't know you can still get that.......wouldn't think so as the glue has to soak in plus there is very little relief to it (no toilet humour please) as this is a very serious debate on toilet paper and it's modelling merit's. All untoward comments will go straight down the pan...... I'm feeling a little flushed now so back to building the factory yard for Cathcott Field Edited April 23, 2017 by KNP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Steady progress on Cathcott's Field, new buildings finished apart from superficial detailing (signs, notices, etc), existing building base module altered and located back in place. The factory area module has been separated from the main template so I can work on it easier on the work bench. Next up, main factory building and the completion of the factory module itself.

Popular Post KNP Posted April 24, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Whilst waiting for some glue to dry I have been playing with Serif PhotoPlus x7 and added steam to my recent picture of the 48xx. Now be honest, is it worth the effort. I have spent ages trolling though photos of this loco in steam to see where and how it would smoke. No huge cloud as at this point she would be slowly down for the station so the pressure would be off, whistle on to warn of approach and I have assumed a still day - to make things easier.

Popular Post KNP Posted May 5, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Back on line and running again. Whilst doing a system update I lost all connection to the internet, I could click onto the web but it wouldn't stay open. Then the Dell backup didn't like Windows 10 resulting in loss of most e-mails, luckily I had already updated the backup files on the portable HDD so all folders/pictures where saved.......!!!! phew. Luckily I had done that the day before when I realised the system was developing issues so if I could pass on a simple piece of advise back up regularly or at least store files/folders on an independent HDD. Complete system clean boot and start again by reloading everything afresh which my son-in-law kindly sorted out for me. Well, whilst all this was going on over the last week work was progressing on the layout. Cathcott's Field the factory building is well underway and I have decided it will be a shoe factory. Then in the post the MiniNatur plants arrived from the States so these where done this morning to finish the area of in front of Encombe Station. The large packet came from the States and has 23 strips in it (don't ask why this odd number as the advert said 20!!!) for £19 whilst the small packet came from the UK had had 2 strips in for £4.50.....both required P&P and I got clobbered for import tax but the US one was still cheaper. I think the profile board needs a refreshing coat of paint looking at the picture.... Edited February 27 by KNP 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Which stockists do you use for these products please Kevin. Robin Scenic Express ( scenicexpress.com ) in the US (their choice is extensive just costly to get) and in the UK - New Railway Modellers ( newrailwaymodellers.co.uk ). Hope this helps.

KNP Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 I do know that Green Scene do some of the Mininatur range, mainly the tufts. Agreed and many of their products appear all over the layout but the quantity I needed, about 17 strips made buying them in the UK rather expensive. With the demise of International Models we lost a very useful stockist of these items at exhibitions. I also use a wargame site www.antenocitisworkshop.com for this range as well.

Popular Post KNP Posted May 7, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Rarely seen view of the rear of the creamery office taken with iPhone in selfie mode hence grainy effect. The one advantage of taking these pictures is that it tends to focus the eye and it wasn't till I took it that I realised the downpipe gully appears to be levitating!!!! Another job to add to the list? Edited February 27 by KNP 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
