I still have to model something similar for my ‘Scrapyard’ CakeBox model! Sadly no 3D printer for me... mine will be cobbled from card and wire, but I enjoy the challenge! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 3D Printing is great, but it is defiantly can be more fun /challenging making things out of styrene, card, etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) An overall shot of the layout in its current state. Excuse the background clutter! Just added LED lighting to brighten things up for the grand total of £4, in the form of 12v self adhesive LED strips from Ebay Edited February 17, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried hard to keep it quite minimal for about 3/4 of the rural section and reasonably hemmed in for the more industrial area at the other end of the layout.

The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Weathering and DCC installation on my Ruston 48, really do love this loco With the addition of a Lais DCC Stay alive (tucked in the cab) she runs like a dream. On speed step one will take 10 minutes to travel 7 feet!! Edited February 19, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I really like the overall view, it has a good sense of space considering how small it is. Where did you get the figures for 3d printing from? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'd love to know more about the weathering effects you achieve. The subtleness on the gate and walls is lovely! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtleness on the gate and walls is lovely! Thanks for the kind words Karl. I do pretty much all my weathering with an airbrush and enamel washes. I follow the same process with nearly all the things I paint. Normally primed white with tamiya fine primer. Pre shaded with a matt black around all areas there would be naturally shadows. If for example, I want to paint something red i would start with a dark red as an overall base coat blending it into the pre shaded shadow areas, then follow with a lighter version of the base coat to add a mid tone to certain areas finally followed by a even lighter shade in areas I would like to highlight. Basically a technique called colour modulation. Then I seal it all in with a satin varnish. Then add various enamel washes to really bring out details and help blend all of the colours together. Hope that helps! 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampus Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Lovely layout: just oozes character. Must confess I had never noticed the railway in Scothern, let alone the canal! I really must pay more attention when I'm out and about! The pipe bridge looks fantastic too. Best wishes, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
