That’s come together nicely. Also liking the varying textures of grass in the background. Jay 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That came from Albion Alloys Precision Metals via eBay, code BW03, in a pack of ten 12 inch lengths. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your compliments, kind and encouraging comments, it really does help when you're tied up with other things and lose your momentum a bit... Argh! I promised I wouldn't gush, I'll end up going all Gwyneth Paltrow..... Dammit... Just about held it together, don't think anyone has noticed.... I just feel silly now. PS, I do actually mean that first paragraph!. Edited September 20, 2022 by MrWolf 6 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we first saw this rambling collection of very old mainly derilict buildings, I could see very clearly how everything was going to look with a few years of restoration work, which finally and fortunately found the bride in total agreement. Whilst visualising full sized conversion and fitting-out projects second nature, for some reason, I find the 1:76th world needs a little more maturation time before I get truly stuck into construction, which I put down to the learning curve with prototype GWR construction and working practice. What great fun! Yes, that does explain it. KNP knows what he's doing, and the rest of us ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see that your gallant side is worried about the embarrassment that would be caused by a major wardrobe malfunction. So here she is in her motorcycle gear which offers considerably more, er, support. It's from the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises and I suspect that he wasn't the only one..... Still going a bit insane with preparations for the exhibition, but I have been unable to resist attaching some odd little details before I manage to lose them. (Like I did with the trespass notice for the level crossing!) 🙄 This is the station's official fresh drinking water supply, modified from a Ratio cattle dock spare part. There's a useful number of repeats on the sprues. Edited September 25, 2022 by MrWolf Scratching ear with foot. 21 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hard to say, but I've heard that a lot of kitties have a secret thing for firemen, provided of course they're the Hollywood fire brigade... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrWolf Posted September 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2022 A quick snap of my latest piece of work as promised. It's another of my Stills from a B movie paintings, it's 40" x 30" and painted in acrylic on plywood. It's about the feeling that many of us have experienced that there must be something good happening somewhere and we are missing out. No prizes for guessing who was the model for the girl in the blue velvet dress giving the guy on the bike a cheeky smile.😉 23 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who feels they’re missing out? Is it the guy outside or the girl in the blue dress inside? I like it. Although as is typical of me and art, I totally misinterpreted what (you) the artist was trying to say! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as is typical of me and art, I totally misinterpreted what (you) the artist was trying to say! Maybe not. The name of the bar is a bit of a clue. Do you feel like you're always on the outside looking in, or on the inside looking out? Besides, everyone sees things differently. It might say something entirely different to someone else. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
