Maurits71 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Happy Saturday all. Have stepped away the last couple of weeks from building houses and spend a lot of time in running trains and working on a few things on the things to do list. Most things are either changing parts of the software, adjusting points, an extra dropper left and right etc. Last weekend I managed to do a 2 hour session without any failures so really pleased. In between the running sessions work continues on the scenery, the front bit is closed now and once I have tested if there are no obstructions for the trains I will cover this with plaster of parish or something similar. The Wall near the big bridge is also getting shape, done something similar as I have done with the other wall just use Sculptamold, make it a bit more wet as instructed and you have almost 3 days to put it in shape. Haven’t decided yet what I want to do with this part of , it’s actually asking for a proper City scene with lots of high buildings, so definitely something to consider Till the next update Best regards Maurits 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37038 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Looks good Sometimes its good to just play trains, as it can help you see the bigger picture of your layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits71 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Bit earlier as planned but working on the hills near the big bridge I realised that it would be handier to have the fascia finished first. Lukelu I had enough wood left in the garage As I wanted to avoid that I knocked the facia over at one point I decided to do the cutting as well, still work in progess but the smell of the Glue is so bad that I have to leave the room for a while to avoid getting stoned 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits71 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Happy Saturday all, Peak season for me so really busy for the big boss, so very limited time to spend in my Man's cave, but consider the lack of time pleased with the progress the last couple of Months. All rock formations are sort of finished and painted, they only need a last white wash. and one of the retaining walls needs some extra black wash to make it even more old and demolised. My interception of the Olive Mount cutting gets shape, work on the other site starts soon before I can add foliage etc. It's a well known advise not to make your layout to deep, I remember this one clearly now, it's going to be funny once I start with grass. Buildings, buildings, any one fancy helping me building 126 different ones ? and last but not least, the biggest eyecatcher of my layout once finished, really proud with the outcome slowly less and less wood to see Tonight is play time video to follow Best regards, Maurits Edited July 13, 2019 by Maurits71 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits71 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 This little spot was screaming for attention so couldn't resist. Another layer of static grass. And once dried I started adding bushes and small trees, a lot of different materials are used for this spot. the hedge is still to be added but needed a bit more drying so will do this later.

Maurits71 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Happy Sunday. The castle is almost finished, fair play to Scale scenes as I have built his model but instead in cardboard in plastic card with a few additions based on my what I wanted to achieve. Over the last few weeks, I have done some serious running and started writing down all little issues which I faced, today I manage to spend a good few hours solving a few of them so hopefully, next session will be a bit more smooth. I was in doubt slightly, another running session of working on the scenery, scenery won this time, saved a lot of trees from my old layout. I am planting only the best ones as my standard of building is much higher as I had when I was building Highbury fields. I have a few left to do and started building the next lot already so lots to do over the next couple off weeks. Best regards Maurits 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
