RMweb Premium AdeMoore Posted August 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2018 Now for some experimental posts. My son-in-law has a Samsung Galazy 9s plus so I borrowed it last night and took some pictures. Standard lens m1.jpg m2.jpg m3.jpg m4.jpg Kevin read the whole thread bur cannot remember what you used for fence wire? Also what technique you use for getting it so life like in tension. The you and the loco driver? Figures on it by it look so life like stunning photos.Cheers Ade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S-C Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I agree with Ademoore - your figures are wonderful. The two pairs in the last photo of post #2623 are especially pleasing - where do you get them please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are from Modelu, the driver was got for the 43xx until I realised he had the wrong arm raised for the regulator!!!!! but was just right for the fence post.... The other of course is me (see Avatar) and I don't believe I'm on general release???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) The derilict barn has been set up on the main layout and works as well as I was expecting it to. Edited March 21 by KNP 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That derelict barn is lovely, modelling of a very high order. I really liked the slipped sheet of corrugated iron in the last picture - just the sort of detail that really convinces. It must have been fun to make this model.

KNP Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Superb modelling again as always Kevin, now there's a rebuild project. Thanks but I spent ages in building it semi derelict so to immediately renovate it so it could appear on Grand Designs is just not on!!! I have to say that it a lot more difficult to build like this than it is a normal building. Looking at the pictures I feel a small store need's to be added between the barn and the creamery perhaps covered in ivy......just an idea at the moment? Little clutter needed as well.....

I want to go and camp in it overnight, fry sausages on an open fire with my pals, tell ghost stories and wake up to the sound of shunting trains beyond the fence. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted August 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think Encombe should have its own camping coach in a siding like at Gara Bridge and charge 3 shillings a week to stay in it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the coach that’s camp. I’m tempted to put one in Limpley Stoke, a short Hornby clerestory would do. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) A wide view showing the creamery and barn I think a fence/hedge is needed from the LH gate post that partially obscures the view of the barn is required.
