Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Runs as required. David Todd has always said your as amusing as Jeremy Paxman, and now I know just what he means. Wonderful to catch up. And thank you so much for checking into a way to solve my Ye Olde White Horse roofing issue. I will be expanding on this asap. But I won a competition on our old forum, and Runs as required sorted out the elevations as my prize. So he has a vested interest to see it to completion.

Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Caught up with Richard Johnson and his associate Peter of DCC Concepts. Who we have known for quite some time online and met a couple of times before. Enjoyed his presentation of his 3 latest products. Unfortunately because we wanted to avoid the football leavers, we did not hang about to enjoy a drink this time around. So we can't get him to spill the beans on anything else in the pipeline.

jcredfer Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Lovely to see everyone and find they are quite human, despite their obvious extra-superhuman powers at making models. All such delightful people. Thanks to Jaz for dragging everyone in too. . ... Maxi Me has just met Mini Me and is most impressed with Mini Him too .... best not elaborate here just yet ... [all will be revealed later for those not yet in the know ... just a little "Watch this space" ..... ...................

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted September 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2014 Jaz, Thank you so much for organising to get us all together. I've not had so much fun at a show before. It was great talking to so many people that are normally only avatars and text on the screen. And while Andy Y may not be so happy about it the lack of a huge crowd also meant that I kept bumping into people and getting into even more conversation. Thanks again, Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Just legible at the top CLIFFHANGAR I have had the pleasure of seeing this gentleman's work before. another of his layouts has gone to Russia, his homeland, to go to a museum. This lovely piece is still here.You might think there is too many trees, but if you stop and watch this is is just absolutely fascinating. I have videos this one, i'll pop it up later, the seagull noise alone is worth watching it for. rmweb2873show78 rmweb2875show80 rmweb2874show79 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Being rather cheeky..... ....I asked one of the guys if I could get the other side of the retaining fence, having leant over and not got close enough.....and was kindly given permission..... this was the layout rmweb2876show81 but this is what I wanted a good picture of...... rmweb2879show84 and whilst there took another good close up or two.. These figures were used to maximum effect rmweb2880show85 I'm sure the 'flockage' will be appreciated..... edit = oops got carried a way by my joke and forgot the rest of the pictures.... look at the 'window' on the roof detail love the horse and carts end to end this hand little gems a plenty link to Much Murkle http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/58847-much-murkle/page-10&do=findComment&comment=1592412 Edited September 17, 2014 by Jaz 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) on first look this one was one of the smaller layouts, but the bridge is well worth a close up rmweb2883show88 or two!!! rmweb2884show89 just look at the detail here rmweb2885show90 The gentleman here was really nice, I explained my camera can't cope with moving train so he kindly stopped it for me to get the snaps. I just love the colouring of the water.

Jaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Earls Court Another little masterpiece. Walk past this and you miss some superb modelling. rmweb2886show91 This are NOT just shop fronts....just look inside... these fronts are all individually made, from left overs of kits, and / or scratch built, and some print and folded paper.... the combination......just fantastic got to love the navvy some of the subject matter....has been carefully modelled....Chatted to the modeller. He lived in London, spent his childhood, and really has the flavour. So many good bits hard to choose....but the workmen....look at the detail!!! Gorgeous. edit=link http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/69621-buildings-on-my-earls-court-layout/&do=findComment&comment=986231 Edited September 13, 2014 by Jaz 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Way aye, you divvunt hang aroond Hinnie! How many posts is that since you got back to Arboretumville? Some amazing pics you have managed to put up, of stuff I never actually spotted in detail for all the "jaw jaw". Personally speaking that is the best show I've ever been to - mostly because it was possible to actually talk in an engaged way to the experts (I'd flagged up before as wanting to contact) without feeling there was a huge crowd behind resenting the old f*#¥ hogging the action. Thanks so much for taking all that trouble to herd us together - mebbe harder than cats..... dhig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted September 14, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Hope you don't mind me posting a couple of photos on here from what was a great day. You've already posted one of Victoria Bridge. I have to say I was quite captivated and the chap running, who was having a few teething problems early in the day (itr was only 9:45) was great to spend time telling me about its quirks but also a lot of what he was trying to achieve. I think he has achieved it!. I've got space on my mantelpiece for something like that... I thought the modelling was great, the bridge built from 3D printed parts, and the lighting to me, while simple, gave it that look of an early summer evening with the sun coming in from low in the sky (don't know if the compass is in the right direction for that though ) Earls Court was fantastic. I'm so glad that Jaz got some really good shots of the shops and roadworks as I managed to mess up my photos of both. But I got a couple of the station that struck me as the sort of thing you'd see from the windows of buildings around the station. Finally, as Jaz has already posted fantastic photos of many of the layouts that I really liked, one of my favourites was Yard Shunter. The gentleman behind the scenes spent a long time talking to me about his servo set up, as well as many other aspects of the layout. I liked the cameos that were scattered all over, like the overturned lorry with the associated traffic jam, the yard workers stood gassing around the crane, the PW workers getting on with the job and the chap on the back of the lorry scratching his head as if he's not sure he was meant to be dropping this load off here. A great day, with lots to see and learn (I was there from 9:40 to 16:45, and others outlasted me), with lots of fun people. I hope we can all do it again next year Neil Edited September 14, 2014 by Anotheran 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
