Guest Isambarduk Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Is it just me or has the 'manipulation' of the photograph made this superb model look more like a model than it really is - ie when you actually see it? Or perhaps it's supposed to look like a painting? David Edited August 13, 2014 by Isambarduk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Is it just me or has the 'manipulation' of the photograph made this superb model look more like a model than it really is - ie when you actually see it? Or perhaps it's supposed to look like a painting? David I was thinking it looked like a Hornby catalogue cover. Yet we all know how good the models really are.

two tone green Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 For me the HDR effect adds to this already stunning photograph. It works well and I'm looking forward to seeing more. I must admit to being a bit biased towards the layout as I saw it often at Steve's home so already a big fan of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have the full set of pictures that Chris took and for me the black and white ones are the most impressive. I'm just happy that my little project is being featured in a modelling magazine. This is there 200 edition and they kept it back specially for this issue, Cardiff Canton & the Lickey incline in one Mag, should be good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is there 200 edition and they kept it back specially for this issue, Cardiff Canton & the Lickey incline in one Mag, should be good. Steve, It is very satisfying to see one's work published in a magazine. My first article published in the November 1992 edition of the Railway Modeller and was about scratch-building a rustic garage based on a prototype in Welshpool. I wrote all of the text, drew all of the drawings and took all of the photos for the various articles published down the years with the exception of the studio photos of Abersoch Mk1 when it featured as Railway of the Month in the May 1995 edition of the Railway Modeller.

81A Oldoak Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Steve, I picked up a copy at Waterloo Station on the way home. The wet, black groundwork looks very convincing in the main pictures on pages 34 and 38 and I'm rather pleased to think that we are now providing a good home for 46443. By the way, you didn't actually explain what you were doing with your daughters' talcum powder; I think we should be told. Regards, Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted September 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2014 Despite modelling BR(S) in Cornwall, I love this layout and bought the mag on that basis alone. Great article but I do think the colour photos are overblown, particularly the greens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Thank you, Chris sent me the full compliment of pictures and the black and white versions are my favourite the greens do look a little different in the prints that I've had done compared to the mag so whether that's down to the paper or printing method I'm not sure. Canton will be at Wycrail in November and I think that will be the last time you will see it for quite some time. The new owner has a lot of commitments Edited September 5, 2014 by steve fay 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
