josh_will Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks, that’s what I’ll probably go with then, a lightly weathered appearance with faded white timbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_will Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Stonework almost complete here. This wall is loosely based on those at the approach to Glasgow Queen Street although they don’t have these vertical supports. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for curiosity is that a Gaugemaster extra or bespoke build? I bought one for my grandsons that would benefit from being fixed.

josh_will Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi John, it’s just a standard Combi fixed to the panel with four small bolts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_will Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) A bit more progress: a section of wall has been finished and it awaiting painting. I’m going to experiment at the back of the layout with creating an impression of a building in the distance using stone wall sheet intended for 2mm scale. Also, the basic structure of the fuel storage tank has been done. Edited June 24, 2019 by josh_will Spelling error 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_will Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 For anyone who hasn’t used Milliput before, I’d highly recommend it: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_will Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I’m having some trouble getting the right colour paint for concrete. I’ve tried Railmatch acrylic concrete but it came out quite green. Can anyone please help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb67 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Hi Josh, I used Humbrol No 40 with some talc sieved over. Then I weathered it with some powders. I guess it depends on the look you're after but I would suggest a light grey colour. Hope that helps. Steve. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_will Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks Steve, that is some very effective concrete there. However i gave the concrete colour I had one more go and added some white to create this more beige-like colour which I think will be alright. Some ballasting has also finally been started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted June 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi Josh I used a combination of different so called concrete coloured paints and added a light sand colour and grey to them to get the effect of the hard satnding being poured on various days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
