brylonscamel Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Merry Christmas to all the friends of 'Braeside Models' and the RMWeb characters that have joined in with their contributions. Here's to all the various model-makers, artists, cranks, crafters, railway-enthusiasts and lovers of small things. I aim to make 2022 another year of miniature adventures. Cheers from Brian & Max the border collie. 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brylonscamel Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 New Year Backlog! Alongside David's magnificent hotel commission are some others which I'm building in parallel.

Popular Post brylonscamel Posted March 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I've gone potty! With the clock marching in the background, the focus is back on David's Glasgow Queen Street commissions. The 'North British Hotel' had seen lots of progress beneath the wall-head but nothing at roof level. In response, the last few days have seen chimney stacks appearing and the main roof structures finished. It even sports its name on the masonry ..

This stage sees the paintwork starting to lose the 'black & white look. Large expanses of white primer get washes of grime and roof structures convert from grey to colour. 13 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brylonscamel Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 Tiny shelters for the West Highland Railway I took a delightful commission to reproduce the platform shelters at Arrochar & Tarbet on the West Highland. The models are tiny but have the distinctive style seen at multiple locations along the line. The shelters that stand today are a repurposed platform-mounted signal cabin and a recently built shelter, based on the same style. Here are some photos of the models under construction, using mostly sheet and embossed styrene. 12 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is lucky, they are superb. The brickwork looks very good, is it a trade secret or can I ask what sheets they are? I note a simple greyish/dark mortar - simple but effective!

No trade secrets! I think the embossed sheets are all SE Finecast but the plain bond might be Slaters. The only thing I do extra to prep them is abrade the surface with a fine grit. This takes away some of the 'bubble' shape that is inevitable with vacuum formed material. The brick courses are just flooded with a bit of colour during painting. I mostly use acrylics for paintwork. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
