On another thread in recent days I came across reference to a 'fatty snag', which sounded like an unkind name for the sort of grateful girl you might indeed meet behind the bike-shed. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted January 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 After our adventures behind the engine shed I got on with the cattle pen gates/fence. First one built and propped in place and the other finished but waiting for the plastic glue to harden. Seems to take ages when you want to get on but it is best left until tomorrow, ruined to many things by working on it to early…… Luckily a loco turned up to act as a rest!!! 14 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted January 16, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 Well I couldn’t wait as the glue had set……honestly! Trimmed, gate catch added and painted in grey primer…. I will be fully painting and weathering before fitting as that will be easier than reaching across the layout. 15 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lovely shot from the squadron leader Kevin. Sometimes the exquisite detail on your layout looks even better from a distance. It reflects the higgledy-piggledy-ness of real life. 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 That's a really impressive picture Kevin. I'm finding that the more I add to my layout the more careful I have to be adding the next part, it all gets a bit surgical! I'm also spurred on to work on the colouring of my goods yard's ash and gravel surface, so that's helping get my mojo back. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a quick picture I took on the phone to see how it came out overall and then released it looked like one I had taken time over.
