sandwich station Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Barn looks nice but I do think a Kent barn would look a bit odd on my West Country layout? Kent Barn, that's an oast house for drying hops in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 If they can grow tea in Cornwall I am sure you can have a Kentish barn, an oasthouse and a vineyard. Oh no you can't. I want one to set the location of my layout in Kent, or just into East Sussex. If people start putting them in totally incorrect situations, I may as well not bother .

lightengine Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think it all depends if it's a Kentish barn or a barn of Kent! Perhaps we need a referendum on this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetmorgan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Excellent work...another layout for my favourite top trumps. Looking at the photos posted it is very reminiscent of the photos in 70's & 80's copies of Model Railway Constructor about the building of the Bodmin layout. Just hope my efforts as a returner to the hobby can get anywhere near. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember what I did yesterday - Tuesday!?! Give it a ago as long as you are happy with it then that's the best result.

RMweb Gold 81C Posted March 31, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2017 There is a vineyard in Cornwall too, best access is from the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. It's name is Camel Valley Vineyard, it's absolutely marvelous stuff their dry white I alway buy it by the case from them (10-20% cheaper) when I'm in the area or if I run out which is often I'm on their mailing list.

Coombe Barton Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Sorry to go off topic. Not much info' on the web John have you tried the wine? No, but a few years ago they had an exceptional crop after a wet cold summer. The grapes did something and became very sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted March 31, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Just thought I would post these to show the importance of the F stop on a camera and what is or isn't in focus. I had the camera set on A (aperture priority) but forgot to change the setting from a previous shot. Here the LH picture was taken at F2.8 where the depth of field is clearly shallow with a lot out of focus so on the re-take I changed the setting to F8 where a much deeper and more in focus (RH picture). The larger the F number the lens has the deeper the depth of field will normally be which for this type of picture taking can be important. I had the ISO fixed at 400 but let the camera work out the shutter speed. Camera was tripod mounted and for this type of picture invaluable plus I had it set on a 2 sec delayed take so any shake caused by me pushing the button would be over. Hope this of use.

KNP Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Lovely warm red/orange brick in the background - are those brick papers, Kevin, and have you actually scribed some relief on them? It all looks superb. It is from Scalescenes Aged Red Brick and when I first built it (4 years ago) I gave it a coat of Humbrol matt varnish which sort of reacted with the printer ink to give the hue you so now, it's one of things that happen and you're not exactly sure why. Then the fading saga started and it has had at least 4 coats of the UV varnish to prevent it, or try to prevent it, fading which also dulled it down a bit more as well. It will be one of those things that if I try to replicate it will be hit and miss..... No relief as I use a wallpaper seam roller to apply all my brick papers to get it all flat and bubble free. The relief you see is the design effect of the paper which why I'm a great fan of that range. Model Railway Scenery have also come out with some good brick papers which I have used in the station area. EDIT - Found a sheet and most of it was built with Aged BROWN Brick TX07 from Scalescenes Edited April 2, 2017 by KNP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick shut the barn door before the double glazing horse salesman bolts - in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
