Andrew P Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hello Andrew Can I make a little suggestion, no more pubs but a cafe for those of us who do not drink alcohol. I agree mate, also as a none drinker, there will be no more Pubs, at this end of the Layout, next I hope will be the Lane and maybe a Farmhouse. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Out with the Paint Brushes, and done some more work on the Trees along the back. Unfortunately the Flash in the Camera has picked up some wet paint in some of the pics. Back on with the weathering jobs again after Lunch.

Andrew P Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) In the Backscene Painting Demo Video, Post #1308, I clearly said that you ONLY USE ONE GREEN and then lighten or darken as required, you can see in the pic below, (on the left, and behind the Signal Box), what happens when you DON'T follow your own rules, I had added some representation of Trees with the Green Floor Paint, and now it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's not actually apparent to the naked eye, but will clearly need some further work to correct it. Edited August 8, 2017 by Andrew P 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted August 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2017 Heyup mate, you're flying with this, aren't you! The hump makes a big difference to the top of the embankment, it didn't look right before but is spot on now. I confess I had to look twice before I got what you meant about the different greens, I suppose it sticks out more for you, but I'm sure you've probably sorted it already As George said earlier, it is obvious you are really happy with this layout, and it's great to see.

westerner Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Andy don't forget the railway fence at the top of the cutting and any you might need at the bottom of any embankments you might have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al. Thanks Al, you can never get two different greens to look right in nature, ask any great Landscape Painter. I can't believe how quick it's coming together, and really enjoying it. I've been doing weathering jobs for the last 2 days, and keep doing the bit's on the Layout you've seen, between coats of paint, so I can't keep away from it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alan, I thought I had 2 more packs of Fencing but apparently not, I shall be picking them up from the Local Model Shop tomorrow, along with some more Cotswold Walling and other bits that I need. The Fence will run along the top, as on this pic I found on Charwelton, this Layout and in particular this pic also inspired the cutting.

Regards John Thanks John, Good to hear from you, every little helps as they say, and each day brings new challenges, but also big rewards in terms of getting what I want from the Layout.

Andrew P Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 That Hornby Castle sounds like it's missing a cylinder! Proper Castles purr: Yes it's Hornbys sound rendition from about 2012, as I said, when shunting around the yard it sounds good / better, I'll include that in a Video again soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 70s, I had a Hornby Princess Elizabeth which had a piece of brass on one of the tender axles which scraped on a sheet of sandpaper to make a chuffing noise... It sounded just like that... Now it takes a 100 quid's worth of electronics to produce the same noise... Progress, hey? Al. Edited August 10, 2017 by acg_mr 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
