Morning Guys, Love the Harbour humour, its got to be better that Toilet humour, hahhah.
 
Anyway I've been out this morning and picked up another piece of white faced MDF to re do the back scene. the piece that's on there at the moment is a few inches short, and so with the NEW PLANS, I need a full length piece. I also picked up another rattle can of Ford Olympic Blue from Halfords and have given the board a coat before coffee, the backscene will be minimalist but I need some greenery between the buildings to give the illusion of depth and vision.

So with the initial painting done on the Backscene, (It was lovely to sit out in the Sun with it across the garden table) it was then trial fitted, it seems to work well, there will be a Dirt Track beyond the Rail Track behind the Cottages, and a Gate between the Fish House and the Cottage extension and also a gate between the Dairy and the Factory, I also need to make some Gates for the Factory arch as well.

Bodgit he may by name but Master he certainly is when it comes to his artistic talents. And all in the time when the majority of the rest of us can hardly down a cup of tea or coffee (or so it seems).

Thanks Rich and Ray, much appreciated.

 

I've put the Old Chapel on a raised area to form a cutting for the line to go into. The Old Chapel is actually the back from the Church on Pencarne that had to be removed to make that fit several Months ago.

 

The wall will be tidied up with filler in the morning and  then a coping stone added.

 

I will have a tree each side of the Chapel to hide it's disappearance into the backscene, (only one in the pics), and then Grass and maybe some Grave Stones.

Just goes to show ... In this hobby, never throw anything away! It always comes in somewhere.

 Then I laid some Grass for the Grave Yard.

I then added some Grave Stones and the Bushes and Trees.

Very nice Andy - the dead centre of the layout.

Your working quickly Andy! Churchyard looks good - How did you do your trees? They look very effective.

Rich

Thanks Rich, the Trees are white metal Trunks I've had for a few years now, possibly Woodland Scenics, and a matting again of unknown origin over the top.

And finally a light wash of Tamyia Acrylic, Dark Sea Grey XF 54.

Next job on Thursday will be the half scenic Fiddle Yard, ( the none folding portion behind the Cottages).

Looking good Andy, the backscene really works well, I'd love to know how you painted it. Did you do a piece on one of your other threads, I seem to remember seeing something somewhere?

Cheers

Steve
