Of course that might be because the majority of tenders will provide better shelter. Not too sure of location @Neal Ball but I keep it in a might be useful folder. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I have been asked on more than one occasion why are some of my buildings removable? Well, its all to do with one of the main design concepts of this layout and that was pictures. By having some removable I could place the camera in unusual places and don't forget when this layout started in 2009 I was using a large Nikon D3100 DLSR that would crush anything that got in its way. So now with a much superior compact this placing got better (and safer!!!). With the timber yard/store building removed I can place the camera and get this angle without to much fuss.

Popular Post KNP Posted February 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2021 Now whilst messing about with my iPhone I came across a camera setting in portrait called stage light mono. Distance is an issue otherwise it won't work Not sure of its future use..... Here is 3203 basking in the moonlight...? 17 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to follow the instructions to make clouds / steam engine steam and failed miserably! I think I’ve said before Kevin that I like that coach and horses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted February 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm not sure that using settings on a phone can be called photography. The dial on mine only goes round to 9, so I'm unable to locate this new setting. Maybe I should change it to a model with buttons instead of a dial. As long as my trousers don't fall down in the process. 1 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I respectfully suggest pulling the string a bit tighter on your trousers...... 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make no apologies for this but still to this day I rank this as one of the best pictures I have taken of a model. Set up in the dining room late one evening, in the dark, torch resting on a box of tissues with one draped over to conceal the box, beam aimed at the camera. Took me quite a few settings to get it right. Duncan Bisketts walking down the lane on Long Walk Home. Edited March 27 by KNP 19 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted February 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) From the archives.... Transfers have arrived, curtesy of a kind follower of this thread, and hopefully they will be applied today to the pigeon van all things being equal and a fair wind.....

Mark Townend Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not sure if I've mentioned this before Kevin but the undergrowth just in front of the fence is sublime modelling, especially the left side in front of the station sign, I genuinely think those brambles are literally my absolute favourite spot of your layout. So realistic. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted February 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Just prior to being relocated to the work bench the pigeon van now in Little Muddle yard?

Popular Post KNP Posted February 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 The transfers have been applied. Biggest problem I had was to work out the difference between the 6 and the 8. Hopefully this is numbered 6801 but it could of course be 8601? Had to cut the transfer to the Guards door to fit around the door handle hence why it appears to say 'uard' 20 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted February 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Please disregard the previous picture of the finished pigeon van as I had promised myself not to post any pictures of it using the iPhone as it appears to struggle with the led lighting and orange colour changing its appearance. So I have now been up and taken a couple of pictures using the TZ100 and the difference is well, see for yourself. Need I say more. A question if I may for all you LNER followers out there, I have noticed in many pictures of the actual van a single lamp bracket is fitted to each ends about two thirds up on the centreline, should I fit some? Whole thing needs a good dust down and a finishing coat of varnish but that can wait till tomorrow when the transfers are nice and dry.

MrWolf Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That is a far better picture. The pigeon van does indeed look the Doberman's spherical objects. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
