RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Shaun, all very very nice but my personal favorite is the Loco coming out under the Road Bridge with the Ruined Cathedral in the background, that is such a moody shot. Great stuff, :locomotive: Andy. Now you've got me thinking!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 What are you thinking of Shaun? more moody shots I hope. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 24, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) The cabin door has a window so I pulled one off of the downstairs of the Knightwing kit to use. The hole was made by drilling out the old door and paring off the waste. I had to remove the veranda railing to do this. Top of the out house has been sawn down and the small gable stuck back on. Instrument shelf from various plastic strip. Edited February 24, 2014 by Sasquatch 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Need the trains running under a big old grubby mill building on GUN! So that I can get pics of 8Fs,WDs and such, with dark satanic Victorian architecture looming over them! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 28, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2014 This evening has seen some more cabinet making albeit 1/76 scale. Desk, mantle & Cabinet from plastic strip. Chair is off of a Ratio sprue. Telephone is from the Wills kit. Pics and notices are tiny signs and the clock is off of Goathlands station building. Have touched up the green paint after the butchery, 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That is looking the bees knees.You need to take a photo in the morning sun or as the setting sun through the windows, wit ha small torch behind to represent a light on. (or add LEDs) But everything is looking good, there is no tea making facility yet? (I hate tea....but I know every other booger loves it) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 28, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2014 Can't do a thing until I've had me mornings cuppa. So no photos yet! Morning sun? Not sure what that is , must look it up on Wikipedia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Shaun, great shots inside the cabin mate, I was considering doing an interior on Kingsley Box, OR I MAY JUST BOARD IT UP, its easier that way, haha Lovely details mate, Well done.

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 This evening I got most of the details on, done the roof and tea facilities! . Not so sure now that the windows were ever green but it does give the building an austere appearance which is what I'm aiming for! More pics tomorrow in the daylight. Signalman enjoying a nice cup of tea between trains. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Shaun, that is really really nice mate, I like the green windows, wheather its right or wrong, I think they LOOK RIGHT, More pics soon I hope. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Just took a couple more. Just to point out that these images are much larger than the model. I like the sawn timber effect on the plastic card lintel. The man is a Dapol foreman but has had his head replaced from one of the gang. Cup is a snippet of styrene rod and the saucer is a slice off of a fret feed gate! The instrument shelf is green to match that of a colour slide on the internet. My green is about right for LNER buildings from what I have seen! The kettle is more scraps glued together.

Jaz Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The interior is fantastic and a battered kettle perfect. Love the worker,his cap makes great shadows on his face.And the stance is so lifelike (where did you source it???) The phone (you said ratio) is cool, and I adore the old brick basic fireplace. I looked at the picture and thought modern art? then realised DOH it is a map of North England LOL. I like the wood panelling too, and in a good cream colour (did they choose cream or did it go cream like old white gloss paint???) Your clocks? They need clock faces... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 The man is a Dapol foreman but has had his head replaced from one of the gang. Cup is a snippet of styrene rod and the saucer is a slice off of a fret feed gate! One of my favorite modeling jobs is swapping heads on plastic figures! Adds a bit of variety. From what I have been following on here, white paint was expensive before the war so wasn't used much. Hence the cream!The Block instruments (The clocks I think you are referring to) are far too small to have details painted on. The Faces wont be seen anyhow. I just added blobs of white for the photograph!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass0four Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'll come out of what seems will be a permanent log-out due to her Ladyship's deterioration, in order to comment on this excellent model. Given the easy availability of white-metal signal-box interiors, very, very few people will do as you have done. This is real craftsmanship that bodes very well for the future. A council of perfection, but - if anyone says otherwise - it is likely that LNER instructions for painting might have been vague, initially. That, and the use of a local painter might well have resulted in those very nice green windows rather than the cream which became the rule, with green doors, and trim. It's a good talking point anyway. Otherwise, my only mega-picky point would be that painting the block-instruments brown and cutting out tiny pieces of paper or the faces might be worthwhile. And keep an eye out or something "domed" that can be chopped of to make tiny brass bells for the necessary instruments. (You've just replied on this point!) Excellent work! I had intended to ration my browsing for modelling purposes, but circumstances have caught up with me. I'll pop in if I can, albeit very rarely - so don't hold your breath! In any event you have plenty of enthusiastic followers. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Tony Mate. Sorry to hear that your Wife isn't doing to well. Had guessed that's why you've been a bit scarce!! Thanks for your well structured comment. Regarding the windows. There is a quite well known picture of an N1 pulling out of Queensbury with a twin set in BR days. The full picture shows this box on the right and the windows are definitely not white or cream. So I did some digging and went for green! The green was mixed up in an old Humbrol tin which was cleaned out. 7 parts Humbrol 76 uniform green. I part each of Railmatch Darlington engine green, Humbrol LNER apple green and Humbrol 120 cockpit green. Hopefully there will be enough to do the seven station buildings. I'll address the block instruments if I can! Regards Shaun. Edited March 1, 2014 by Sasquatch 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 Here are the daylight pictures as promised. Daylight really brings out the green and shows the stone work up well. Next I will get some pics of it with a light inside! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well Shaun, if it wasn't on a red base, with the trees in the background you would NEVER know its was a model. Just brilliant mate, Well done. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 1, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2014 Next little project is the stone booking office for Queensbury. I have been messing about with dry ballpoint pens on the foam board to create stone work but think I will stick to the same O gauge brick as the signal box for continuity. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 2, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 2, 2014 So I went with the foam board after all. There's no O gauge brick sheets left. But I like this new method. We all know that embossed card is nothing new. This particular piece of card is a foam board that came with a print we brought for the living room, it seems to be better quality than the other stuff which costs $10! Already given it a coat of my acrylic millstone grit base coat and can't wait to get out in my work shop in the morning for the next bit of wizardry. It was fun drawing on the stones even if I am off to bed with writers cramp! So all there is to know about the actual building is that is long since gone. It was accessed via a foot bridge from the station forecourt and stood at the Bradford end of the Queensbury triangle. My measurements are guesstamates the all important one being the upper door which must be above loading gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emt_911 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Shaun Stunning signal box. Especially the repaired wall behind the drain pipe. Now I'm looking forward to what you will do with the booking office. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
