Tea time pic.

 

[Andrew P]

Lets finish the day with the Duff.

[Andrew P]

Morning all, this mornings pic is once again taken at the Station with the 37.

[Andrew P]

Tis the time for a tea time pic.

 

 

 

[Andrew P]

And the last pic of the day is;

[Andrew P]

No work was worked on SMS yesterday as originally planned, in fact, apart from using the area along the front that can be seen in some pics, as a workbench I'm still looking for some inspiration for that area.

 

I hope to do a new set of pics over the coming days involving Rats the Whistler and a couple of 20's I hope.

 

In the meantime, it's time for the morning pic of the day, and it looks like a Tracked again.

Pop a pic up of the space you need to fill, see if we can come up with any suggestions! We’ve got a section of back scene that needs something low relief but not sure what to do. I’ve just filled 5’ with some house ends that I need to finish.

PS - that platform is screaming out for a Dapol Bubble car when they come........

Thanks Al, no Bubble Car for me I'm afraid, but here is a pic of the area I'm having a problem with.

Back of a haulage yard or Scrap yard maybe?

[Happy Hippo]

A couple of  scruffy grassy hillocks, or some higher ground at  the baseboard edge, dropping down to an ash cess next to the track.

 

A scruffy old plate layers hut could reside there, with the usual detritus scattered around outside.

Two very good ideas, thanks chaps, the original intention was for a Field about an inch higher than the Track with a small embankment, but your two idea will add more interest I think.

Hi Andy, given your sidings were for an MOD line, maybe an Ordnance depot with some military vehicles and a Nissen hut or the like? 

Cheers, Ade.

[Clive Mortimore]

Hi Andy

 

That space you are unsure what to do with, a carriage siding for the Bubble Car you keep saying you are not going to get but we know you will.

[D6775]

The other thought I had this afternoon was allotments?

Hi Al

 

Suggesting allotments to the man who has plastic grass outside the potting shed.

[Barnaby]

......or a timber yard/ store.

If he's already got a plastic garden then then modelling one shouldn't be too difficult!

Grassed over old sleepers or/lifted track or a rusty unconnected siding that hasn't been lifted?

Now that I can do,  in fact, I had considered adding ANOTHER Point off the MOD Line to a short siding for a couple of Wagons, but a lifted line would not only be cheaper and easier, but also a bit different.

I have a Grampus to make, so if I do a really bad job it can sit in there rusting away.

 

Cheers Gang, I'll also have a look at Telford for some ideas as well.

Hi Andy, thinking about trains while being waited upon hand and foot is a hard life 

 

Cheers, Ade.
