Barnaby Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Yes I do agree there is some very realistic weathering being made on 7mill Siding but there is one "blot on the landscape" that catches my eye every time, the bright fuel tank and bund at the rear of the layout. it needs your dirty eye applying to it but I haven't followed every step of this build incase it's meant for milk or something similar.

Best Your right about the Oil Bund, but at the moment I need to get the enthusiasm to have a go at it. It will be done at some point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R I'm afraid it's not in these 4, it's mainly the 08, Rats, 37 and 40 I'm afraid, but if I do some more tomorrow, I promise to include the 56, and also the 47, as that hasn't seen much action of late either. Also who knows, the 2 x 20's might get a look in as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Some actual REAL modelling did get done today on SMS. I made a start on the area behind the controller which will form the land fall down from the Road Bridge. 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted September 20, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2019 The Embankment Phase 2. This morning I've made a start on the area that was troubling me, and now I've decided to just have an embankment and rough Grass area. Starting off with the Hot Glue Gun and some card, and then a mix of PVA and Green Acrylic Paint and finally ballast, and flock, more will be added once this phase has dried. 20 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedman Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 That's great, Andy. Filling the blank at the front is making a big difference. Just some capping on the bridge abutments, and you're really getting there. Love the sound of that 08, it really takes me back. All the best for the house move etc. Trevor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my 5 large Plastic Scenic boxes and maybe some Stock, will be going South to one of my Sons for storage in his Garage on 3rd Oct, so no real work will be done after that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Hi Barnaby, You will be pleased to see that this morning the Mojo has returned with a vengeance and the Oil Tank walling has been started, next job the Mortar and then the Tank it self. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey that must be some nasty paint you are using as the poor old workmen has had to wear a mask when nearby...... Always suspicious of what unmarked oil drums contain.....have they been checked? - are they safe to have in a confined area like TOPS? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinks the Drums should be red, but a Green Gunge seems to have contaminated them, and the land along the front of the Sidings now as well. Still I'm told we should all go green 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
