well filled baps The Sheep Chronicles : These are the adventures of a Sheep, the Works Forecat and Naughty George,

[NHY 581]

In other news, I am to attempt a re-modelling of the railway room spare bedroom in which are housed Bleat Wharf and Sheep Dip. 

 

This is not a large room and not without its limitations. However, I'm hoping swapping  things about will get me modelling once again.  At present I'm not. I hope therefore to incorporate a bijou but usable work desk thing as well as two layouts at any one time..........

 

Updates will follow over coming days but only if I don't make a complete horse's arse of it............which is more than possible. 

 

Rob.

I blitzed the railway room / study / art studio / music room / Red Riding Hood wardrobe overspill a few weeks back. It does make a big difference and I would like to say makes you approach modelling with a renewed vigor....

But I'm sure that you would see through that sort of smokescreen...

It's much less depressing and I don't feel like I am trying the elasticity of the memsahib's tolerance, nay encouragement of the hobby. 

[MrWolf]

Here's a horse's ar5e, so that you don't have to make one.

 

 

You're welcome.

I am of course hoping that the Captain Llewellyn Kernow will offer some artistic insight into the aesthetics of HQ should he be so gracious.

Too big. Its only a small room.  I'd only get one layout in and probably a smaller desk.

The Peckett with the tree growing out of the funnel is a bit unfortunate...

 

Al.

What’s with this use of the word funnel for steam locos? I thought ships had funnels and steam locos chimneys.

I think Al was confused. Saw a Peckett and thought steam packett.

There's no pleasing some people!

 

That "leatherette accessory" is apparently a "tail guard", a deluxe non slip one. 

 

The mind boggles old chap.

Better. Smaller horse. Sheep friendly.

Back on topic - ( there is a topic isn't there?) No kidding, when I was about 19, I dated a girl named Fuschia for a while (Yes, her mom was a posh ex hippie, very pleasant.) the woody stems from the plant of the same name make really nice cut logs. 

There's plenty examples gone wild in gardens all over the country.

Typically applied before loading a horse into a box or trailer for transport.

Would definitely have to reduce the size of the desk if that happened.

What? Suggesting that there's a topic?

 

Suggesting another innocent plant we can hack up?

 

Nothing else got stretched I can assure you. Those were more innocent times.

 

I was following on from the jokes about Rosemary and Heather.

Personally I prefer hydrangea rather than Fuchsia. She's got more structure than Fuchsia who I find too relaxed.

[MrWolf]

Weren't hydrangea heads recommended for trees back before seafoam took over?

A look at 1970s model railway magazines shows how far model trees have improved in the last forty years.

Hydrangea is too smooth a surface  and regular in form. Long discounted using that as a basis for trees.

Also as I recall from the ones that grew in my grandmother's garden the flower heads are very brittle once dead and dried out.

I may have crashed the odd party.

But my posture, like my intentions is good.

It's not murder when the other guy is pointing an AK at your head.

A good number of women have become independently wealthy by the simple act of divorcing the right man.

Certainly Basil. Are you still clearing up after the party yesterday?

Who said anything about using her as a basis for creating a representation of a scale woody plant?

 

Not me. All I said was that I preferred Hydrangea rather than Fuchsia. It was you lot who assumed I was recommending its use as a representation of a scale woody plant.

 

I don't know. You should really get out more. There is a life out there. Not as we know it, but there is and what's more there's Klingons on the starboard bow.
