I have two types on LM

Painted the underside of perspex in a green brown for the brook to give a flat still effect.

The harbour is greenish shade on MDF with PVA dabbed on with a 1" brush laid flat then lifted to give a rippled effect, needs to be applied in the same direction. If memory recalls I applied 6 separate layers and can be renovated with another layer of glue as and when necessary.

 

 

 

Thanks Kevin. 

 

The 'gloss' coming  from the PVA rather than varnish ?

At the moment mine's not likely to be a quayside/wharf jobbie. 

 

 Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! 

 

(I do hope you change your mind!)

 

Thanks for the reference to the book - I'll see if I might get it myself for my birthday! (Today!!)

Yes, no varnish used.

If anyone has any hints and tips to share regarding the creation of water, I would be grateful.......

You could always go for the Arun Quay approach and have the water implied rather than modelled. I like how he did it the opposite way around to most quayside layouts and had the quay at the back rather than the front.

The first thought is*, that's a bit of an embankment there, it would be difficult with your standard IKEA boards.

But a quayside might work if you have an extension from under the board as the water surface, so the board edge becomes the quayside.

 

*Actually the first thought is, that's a wonderful scene!

Inspirational modelling.

For some reason I'm reminded of Martin Brent's Rye Harbour but there is little left of this layout on the internet...

Yes, it would be inspirational, if that was a model we were looking at!

Too late.

 

I'm troubled by the critical juxtaposition of the internal dynamic of biomorphic forms with any optical suggestion of aesthetic principles, where the aura of the figurative matrix could cause rampant ambiguity in the overall definition of the work.

So what you're saying is you're getting senile ?

Bonwick Wharf, Bonwick Broad or just Bonwick  . . . 
Mind you Bonwick upon Ouse also has an appropriate ring to his skills  

 

Or just a slightly worn merchants lorry carrying such a thought.

Not at all. I was merely explaining that I sometimes feel unsettled by the critical juxtaposition of the internal dynamic of biomorphic forms with any optical suggestion of aesthetic principles, where the aura of the figurative matrix could cause rampant ambiguity in the overall definition of the work.

 

Not too much to ask, is it?

No, I think what the good Captain is trying to say is 'Not while the train is standing in the station'.

I'm grateful for the clarity, Mon Capstan. Brevity personified.

Just something to give some throught.

 

 

 

Wells next the sea of course.  I drew up quite a few plans after staying there before I remembered all my stuff was Cambrian or GWR not much use for Norfolk.

 

Don

[woodenhead]

I've been doing some research, and I think we might have been spelling and saying his name wrong.

 

I've read he was actually Norman Flockhart, a name synonymous with the region, but owing to a misspelling in the railway  press at the time the name Lockhart became the common labelling.
