Popular Post KNP Posted November 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Busy, I say, I am busy.....! Well I will be once I can get across to the other side. There's so much traffic passing back and forth it seems like I am rooted to this spot!! Mind you, between you and I, I'm busier than those two behind me....

Or is it a long standing (!) detail I have missed amongst so many others? A lovely little scene typical of the railways everywhere until at least the mid 1970's. It has sparked memories of similar such moments at many stations. At the time this was just an ordinary, commonplace and hence unnoticed activity. Like so many those moments have gone forever. But adding this sort of daily detail is what elevates Little Muddle from the ordinary to the superb. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted November 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2021 Ah, the old trick. Carrying something makes you look busy. That's one of the better Dart castings figures, I think. He's even better from the side, with a slight forward lean which matches what he is doing IIRC. Something that so many whitemetal figures failed to reproduce. One reason the new generation of scanned figures look so good is that they capture the bent and curvy shapes of a real person. 2 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks He has been there a while, he was on a Cakebox Challenge called Not Another One that never saw the light of day….many of the bits have appeared on LM though. I will see if I can find some pictures so you can work out what got transplanted…. Edited November 3, 2021 by KNP 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What RMWeb is all about, is it not? The positivity and light hearted 'banter' that also goes on in this forum is a world away from problems reported about other social media. Long may it continue. ps. I must get on with my re-assembling railway. . . . 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted November 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) As promised I have hunted through my thousands of pictures and found a few suitable ones of 'Not Another One' (2018) which got scrapped and many bits raided for LM. Though never entered along with 'Cold', 'Long Walk Home' was and won the 2018 Cakebox Challenge. Playing with sunlight in the garden It never really got totally finished before being shelved.

Popular Post KNP Posted November 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) I make no apologies for posting this again but it ranks as one of my best ever pictures of a model I have taken. Long Walk Home at night with the moonlight shining through the trees. Just a torch pointed at the camera in a dark room, playing with the camera exposure etc. Edited December 9, 2023 by KNP 23 1 17 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It reminds me of the slightly drunken walk home from a friend's house, Christmas Eve 2020. 1 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I totally agree Kevin, absolutely fantastic and without doubt, one of the best (if not the best) picture of a model I've ever seen. Mr W, I reckon he'd be whistling too.... 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's also interesting to see the construction details of the old barn before the undergrowth took over. That weathered timber looks absolutely spot on and some really convincing rotten corrugated sheets, something that isn't easy to pull off in plastic, I'm guessing that they're aluminium foil or similar? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
