flyingsignalman Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm really impressed with standard of modelling you've achieved; if I could achieve something half as good, I would be well pleased. I can't help but keep thinking though, that the amount of vegetation you've modelled would have spread a bit more over the track than it has done.

RAY NORWOOD Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Keith I'm glade you like what is done so far and your comments. It is modelled as a busy Yard so the vegetation would not over the track. RAY70B 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have long last got my jumbo box of trees in a box after a month of waiting on monday 09/01/2012. I have been making them up for the good part of the week. I rolled the trees in Anita Decor exclusive glue, then sprinkled Anita Decor ground foam (very fine) dark green let that hang to dry over night, then hair laquer sprayed over and sprinkled with Anita Decor super foliage dark green then hair laquar all over to hold it all, the next step is the bark in which I used you gust it three or four coats of Anita Decor Exclusive scenery. All from International Models. So I have been planting trees to day. Here is some pic's hope you like what I have done. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcountryman Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi Ray, What can I say, the layout is looking fantastic. You've made a lovely job of the trees, & they have transformed the layout. It looked good before, but now, it looks terrific. As soon as I get everything sorted out, I'm hoping to pop over. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Keep up the good work buddy, & I'll hopefully see you on Tuesday night. Cheers mate, Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
