RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 9, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I’ve built up the board at the rear of the platform, the theory being that when I apply the static grass the taller grass will be visible through the fencing Its a bit rough and not to my usual standards but once covered in grass it should be fine Edited November 9, 2019 by chuffinghell 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted November 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2019 I think that is a good addition. Cheers, Ade. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 10, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2019 Still looks just as messy on the back (not that it’s seen when it’s up against the wall ) But as I’d hoped you can just see the wild grass through the fence 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 11, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I’ve taken delivery of a few figures from Hardy’s Hobbies to put to work around the ash pit This chap has had the oil cans he was carrying removed and I’m building up a coopercraft wheelbarrow with the handles at roughly the same distance apart as the guys hands, hence the extra piece of plasticard I’ll also build up a wheelbarrow to put next to the bloke shovelling Edited November 11, 2019 by chuffinghell 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I’ve had a go at painting the wheelbarrow, I assumed the frame and handles would be wooden with a cast wheel I need to weather it to darken up the ‘wood’ and half fill with ash but before I do I’d appreciate any input because looking at it I’m wondering if the frame should be cast/wrought iron too?

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 In my view, the frame is far too chunky to be made of iron, and I think your guess at wood is correct. Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I’ve left it ‘wooden’ but have painted the bearings and weathered it a tiny bit Here is a cruel close up....

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Being the task master that I am Barry has been put straight to work I’d better hurry up and build another wheelbarrow to keep him busy I still need to have a play around with their final positions but I didn’t think it was a bad idea having Barry heading towards the barrow crossing (to justify it being there ) Edited November 12, 2019 by chuffinghell Spelling correction 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2019 Not done anything on the layout this weekend although I have been busy in the layout room Despite building some shelving in the alcove under the baseboard a while ago I’ve still been struggling with storage and have had bits and pieces all over the baseboard So I’ve made up a couple of frames using 2x1 timber, painted them the same colour as the walls and popped ‘grey oak’ contiboard on the top....as well as replacing the awful kitchen worktop that was on top of the meter cupboard Not exactly grand designs but at least I’ve got a load more storage incidentally the curtains are not my choice, I wanted Thomas the Tank Engine curtains 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 17, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2019 All I’ve managed to do modelling wise this weekend is give Stan his own wheelbarrow since Barry ran off with the other one 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
