Even I can't remember exactly where it is but I know where the master is!!! Normal grid = square equals 12" Just to say that the development behind the station is not shown as this was done for the BRM magazine prior to the houses/shop being added.

In the past I have used brush/air brush to a limited extent. One more thing to add to my list of things to do, least I have finished creosoting the fencing (actual not model....!!!) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Brush/air brush methods are good, but usually for light smoke and steam which also looks good but with limitations, the problem is, knowing when to stop as it's so easy to get carried away when creating these effects. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I don't think you can get"proper" creosote anymore. You can get a substitute though, might be worth looking up your local old school hardware shop) Back when I had several large ramshackle old sheds, we used to mix creosote 50:50 with old engine oil, decant it into an old fire extinguisher (the water type that worked by pressuring it through a car tyre valve) and liberally coat a 20'x8' shed in about ten minutes. More practical recycling! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simond Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 There’s more here than you could wish to know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creosote it is apparently carcinogenic, though I get the impression that the writer is unconvinced that the risks are significant. atb Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
