RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted November 2, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2020 We don’t often see close up details of this side of Little Muddle station. Your platform surface looks very realistic and textured but no visible joins, did you use scalescenes textures? I’m also curious to know what GWR were advertising in Wolverhampton on the notice board ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also curious to know what GWR were advertising in Wolverhampton on the notice board ! Thanks The slabs are Scalescenes glued down and the cut to form individual ones with a grey wash of various shades applied to tone down. The dark grey platform surface is silver sand glued into the card base and when dry a further layer of watered down PVA applied to fill in some of the gaps. the whole lot was then painted in Vallejo greys and dry brush with a very light grey. As for the sign well, it looked nice, was colourful and but in reality the Station Master brought it with him when he moved down here.....!!!!.....??? 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That angle makes the background buildings look very imposing. I'm guessing that they are actually only part relief? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that they are actually only part relief? Thanks. I find the lower the camera angle the more real a picture looks as it is nearer to what we see when standing. Full in focus picture helps as well. The buildings are part relief being the cottages of Cathcott Field and factory/shop of the boot works. What caught my eye was the roof line of various heights and loads of chimneys, it is nice to see the end result as you saw it in your minds eye when first designing it. 2 3 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted November 5, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Just to show what I mean about view heights and distances. Here is the same area but taken from in front of the shops with the camera on the road in front of the shops. What did I like about this one. Distances....depth... Harbour Masters office appears some way off across the yard thereby giving the picture some depth but the best bit (to me) is looking to the left of the coal office you can see the creamery and occupational bridge which is diagonally right over the other side of the room. Because of the lowness of the camera it has dragged the whole layout into this picture making it feel huge. The only thing that annoyed me was when I had finished this picture I wished I had put one of my boats in the harbour to give even more feeling of depth. I have a feeling you'll be seeing this picture again but with either Misty or Snowflake (or both) in harbour. Sometimes a picture, like the layout, evolves as you can't always see what could be done until you have something to look at....

It's exactly the same way with a drawing or painting, once you get going with it you realise that you have created more than you intended. That's the difference between something that just works and feeling like there's something missing. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted November 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2020 I wonder why the upstairs loo window was blocked up over the pub! We don’t often see your attention to external guttering and plumbing - nothing skimped - but I feel sorry for the pub tenants on a hot.day! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted November 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 6, 2020 That top window looks like the photographer has deliberately blurred the image where that window is.
