Marly51 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Train is as complete as it can be! Couple of things drying for the scenery, text written, photos to finalise then ready to submit! Like the locomotive, the carriage is made from paper, cereal box card and grey card, with the details drawn up on the computer and printed out onto matt photo paper. The chassis is made from card with two sets of Hornby 00 plastic carriage wheels. Buffers are drawing pins set into clay-filled sections of drinking straw.

Marly51 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Well it’s been my usual last minute dash... figures still need more detail, but the model has now been submitted into the ‘Challenge’. I was trying to add a few more ‘Emett’ features... some ‘spear-topped’ railings made from wire and paper triangles, and there is a clay mouse and bird lying around somewhere. As this has been my first model, after being tied up for most of 2020, I have discovered many small pots of paints need replacing and my workshop needs a good tidy. It’s been good fun following the progress of all the amazing models. NB. The two chimneys, one on the station halt and one on the locomotive, have extension pieces, which are removable and enable the model to fit neatly inside the cake box.

Marly51 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Didn’t manage to complete the tartan detailing on my figures, in time for the submission. I have tried to emulate two family tartans ‘Hunting Stewart’ from my first kilt and ‘Macdonald’ from my grandmother’s folks. The laird’s kilt detail was hampered a bit by the sharp folds in the model and even my finest brush struggled! Grandma Giles’ brolly and her specs were created from fine wire (with the addition of tissue and clay for the brolly). 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
