rob D2 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Sweet work as always.... If your doing requests could you do a cameo of your armed coppers pulling some obnoxious git out the Range Rover and tasering him ? Pretty please.....! I may well make the first day of DEMU so it would be great to see this in the flesh.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi James and crew, Nice work here. Here's a more sensible suggestion - how about a fuel delivery being made to the petrol station? I was thinking about this afternoon when I passed one being made. Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium James Makin Posted May 28, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi James and crew, Nice work here. Here's a more sensible suggestion - how about a fuel delivery being made to the petrol station? I was thinking about this afternoon when I passed one being made. Cheers Hi Wayne! Thanks, as it happens I've been given a matching BP tanker to detail up for this very role, but it caused a conundrum - I realised putting it into the correct position would hide all the detailing at the back of the petrol station with the tank filling point, meal deal adverts and gas bottle display etc! I'm determined to find a space for the tanker somewhere though, perhaps with the tanker in the road indicating to pull into the petrol station might be one solution! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne 37901 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Sounds good James. Modelling it about to pull into the station would also avoid having to model all the fuel and open tank filling point covers etc, but still give an indication as to what's going on. I'm hoping to get to Showcase on Saturday so it will be nice to see this again. Cheers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James, We could put the tanker on the road indicating to turn into the petrol station ? No chance of doing it for Showcase but could be ready for Fareham, what do you think? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lime Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We could have the petrol tanker leaving the petrol station and heading over Uxbridge Road bridge. That would make running the indicator lights easier (if these are even used...) as well as blocking the bus lane at the same time - makes for one irate bus driver as well for James to model! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm81 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Saw this last weekend, the level of detail is astounding and I still don't think I saw everything. Definitely a level of modelling to aspire to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
