RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted February 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2021 This probably doesn't fit in here but.... Not a model as such but this is the result of a test into turning Wills planked sheet into wood. This started off as Humbrol 103 cream (top) and Humbrol 62 Leather (bottom) Weathered with Humbrol powders sealed with Humbrol acrylic matt varnish. This will be the 'colour scheme' for the buildings on the new layout, hence the test piece. Rob. 16 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal technique for unpainted wagons too, I should think. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much that it makes me think I'm looking at an actual photo from 1962, irrespective of the standard of the modelling, but that it qualifies as a really good, well composed and lit black and white photo of a quality model railway, sort of reminiscent of one of the better Railway Modeller covers from days gone by, or a Peco "Shows you how" booklet. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6990WitherslackHall Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) A photo taken from the overbridge of my work in progress layout. I know it doesn't look realistic at the moment but it will do once it is finished. I've got some ballast on the way and I'm busy looking up some pictures of tarmac and bricks to copy and paste onto a word document to use on the layout.
