milocomarty Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks, and you're right Jeff, most buildings are still removable as they are a work in progress. When done they will be worked in.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks !!! Hope you will come along for a chat to, I'm a little ugly guy Spend almost this entire Sunday painting pilings, more additions to the wharf. To speed up the proces it's acrylics only today..Inbetween I shot around 17 pictures of every step to write a SBS. Let them dry now for a day to add more weathering with enamels. from this.. to this in a day.. and a bunch more.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Reworked the retaining walls,spraypainted with an airbrush and Ammo acrylics, just light coats. Glued the pilings in place and shot some pictures so you get an idea of the final scene in this corner. Think I'll add some additional enamel weathering tommorow.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks !! Got a little work done on the layout, needed a bunch of signs and so. Added some painted signs and metal ones. The metal ones just ordinary pieces of printed papers rusted with various acrylic colors and pigment. For the painted sign I used a self adhesive paper sticker sheet. Printed and cut out as a mask. Airbrushed the color on. Worked pretty good for me but maybe I use some of this washable acrylics to fade them the next time.. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Thanks guys, bit at rest now at the Premier Inn at Coldfield. Enjoyed the show and all the compliments I have got on the layout. Feel free to post pictures !! Gonna catch some sleep before the long drive home.

Old Gringo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Good to meet you yesterday, Martin, at the Warley Exhibition. It was a real pleasure to chat to you and to see your superb layout in operation. Thanks for bringing Mara Harbour to the N.E.C. show, which was one of the highlights for me and no doubt many others. Hoping you have a safe (and less complicated) journey home. All the very best, John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Had a save journey home, arriving at 9.30 PM unpacked the van and brought it back to the rental company. After an eight hours drive I went to bed early. Wish to thank all for the visit and chats and it is good to meet people in person. Robin, thanks for the great pictures ! John, it was a pleasure to meet ! Simon, sometimes family is more important as trains, I have been asked to bring the layout over to the UK more times, so I think it will not stick to a performance once. Vecchio, although I'm personaly more into US modeling the next 2 layouts will be german themed, One large layout in H0 and a smaller in 0 scale, inbetween there are a couple of modules for the Cardigan Bay Coastal to be finished and I also gonna take them on the road. Hope you all enjoyed the show and see you next time ! Grtz Martin 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Long time no see, busy with the business, some troubles in personal life. My dad passed away lately. So to get a grip I started modeling a bit more and wil try to do so at least an hour a day.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted April 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2018 Sorry to hear about your dad. Unfortunately this is something we all face once in a lifetime. You can be sure that the community feels with you. And - being selfish - I am looking forward to more of your perfect threads. I am sure I am not the only one here!

RMweb Premium 2996 Victor Posted April 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi, So sorry to hear of your loss; I remember losing my Dad (at a far-too-young age) only too clearly. I'm really not sure how I've managed to miss your thread until now. But may I just say that I am absolutely in awe of your modelling skills - utterly incredible workmanship. Keep it up and keep posting. With very best regards, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
