MrWolf Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 It's too late to do anything about it if it's a smoking gun. A smoking bomb might just give you enough time to take cover. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Darling. But the essential, eternally ethereal question is this, 'Is it Art?' Conceptually, the figurative context transcends the mundane on several levels, but spatially the syntactic argument spans several spurious yet oddly subliminal sources. Sorry, old chap, you wanted some insight, how can I be of help? 3 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else who was modelling gnarly old trees, coppiced trees or heavily trimmed fruit trees found that they can use bits of apple twigs or privet? It has excellent texture and the surface is fine enough to pass for a "scale" item in the way that the pine root does? I think you'll find it's parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted April 9, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Afternoon all. The re-org of the railway room spare bedroom has gone quite well. Not totally finished as I have the issue of a desk/table to resolve but I'm in no rush. I still have the dining table. There is of course some fine tuning to do but pretty pleased thus far. Both layouts can be operated though Sheep Dip continues with its curtailed fiddle yard which will accommodate a Peckett and a couple of wagons. I have built a new roof for SD and this also carries the lighting and gently supports Bleat Wharf above. Not an issue as this roof is of 18mm MDF and the majority of Bleat's weight is on the chest of drawers. Of interest is that Sheep Dip can now be operated whilst seated..... Project wise, the latest building for Woolney has arrived and will be fettled in due course. Bachmann's Wanborough barn is a favourite of mine and will, I think, look the part. What started out as just three buildings for the layout is increasing but with all the buildings being relatively small, there will still be a nice open feel to the layout. One more building to come, a Bachmann grotty shed and that should be it........aside from a grounded coach body and possibly a grounded van...... Rob.

MrWolf Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I have to say that is extremely neat and tidy. In fact disturbingly neat and tidy. Did the memsahib assist / supervise / dictate or can we expect at some point water board workers fixing a drain to unearth dozens of bodies in your back garden. Cue the TV interviewing ugly neighbour that you had never actually spoken to..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JustinDean Posted April 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) You could always pop a hole through the side of the chest of drawers and turn the top drawer into a traverser for Sheep Dip ;-) edit: just spotted the fiddle yard on the left. Time to put this bottle of rum away already. Edited April 9, 2021 by JustinDean Blindness 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
