Jaz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 and the first snow covered trees hit the layout, along with a whole host of extra detailing 3719 I mentioned previously that the pilothouse has the white on the drainpipe bleeding onto the brick work this has now been recoloured 3720 you might spot fact that i have added some of the black weathering to the post box and telephone box also as previously mentioned the 'hole' where the letters go in is now in shadow,a no entry sign has appeared (it needs a matching one for the other side) and more 1960ish vehicles and people have hit the area 3721 and lol the paint has dried and gone too transparent another coat will need to be applied... 3722 oh and earlier i add water along several parts of the gutters and ran some black in to give some additional shading. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 the colours are still building up, and there is now more convincing depth. 3723 this is the last picture for tonite i have more, but will upload them later. 3724 FYI...if you just look back at 3719 you can see the back of the layout, which includes 2 tracks room for a platform the other side, and I am setting the last row of shops, so that if i want to make a change i can fit in a station. When this area is complete I will pop it up. And even run a train or two in. So although it is an Xmas diorama, and a town layout, it can also be an actual railway station in a town. Several of the smaller stations would fit here.Plus the PIR wa chosen to be at platform height 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Some very delectable cars circulating in Louth your diarama. I always rather fancied a Jowett Javelin like my stylish friend with string back gloves owned....but instead ended up paying through the nose to keep first a big Citroen DS like that then, much later, a yellow 2CV motoring until eventually I saw sense.... dhig Edited December 11, 2014 by runs as required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I would like to light some of the shops, but so many of them have the cardboard cut outs in them, so that i suppose i will have to look at improving at least one in order to light it......luckily a number of the exhibition photographs i have in my gallery will give me some good ideas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side road or back alley will be Purrfect for Batman and Robin ... ......... there will of course be at least one surprise for Xmas YOU can't open all your prezzies before ;p......

Jaz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just need some "road works" Jaz cones and lamps ect.... I have road works, but I think them far too modern. I remember in the 80s my best friend had a spitfire and someone had a load of sand on the road and some idiot stole the lamps (similar to the railway ones) and in the dark she drove into it!!!!! .....luckily she was looking for another friends house and driving slowly...she contacted the police who came out with more. So what would 1960s road works look like???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I spoke to Julian yesterday, and I will be making sandwich boards from scratch, the type they put out to advertise side alleys, Any other shopping area fluff people can think off would be appreciated. All the little bits will add up to a cohesive whole....I hope.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
