RMweb Premium John Besley Posted October 5, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) It's been bit of a job to get my head around the proportions until you posted the picture including the foreground and trackwork, then the view with the hut, simply stunning. Clearly this will work as a 3D backscene from the normal viewing angle perspective only Looks like a 3D painting by Widegery... Brilliant stuff Edited October 5, 2022 by John Besley 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to paint the backscene. It will be just as before with Bovey Tor, an oil painting on MDF. A nice dark, angry sky. Spot on for the moors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gedward Posted October 9, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I finally have a completion date of Friday 21st. And we should exchange this week. I'm so ready for a change of location and will update my badge toot sweet. Unfortunately, I'm not able to complete on my purchase though. My vendor's, vendor passed and the property has gone to probate. Which put the dampers on the whole chain. I was given a choice, break the chain or lose everything. But thankfully I have amazing friends in Minehead who insisted I stay with them. Apart from putting everything into storage for a while, it's not really an issue. I think I'm finally nearing the end of the big clear out. It's amazing how much crap we hold on to in the loft, untouched for the last 24 years. I've got two weeks to get it all done. And hopefully a few more sessions on Bodmin before I leave. No idea yet when I'll get into my new railway room. And there's always stuff to do once you move in to a new place. But I'll keep this thread updated. Edited October 10, 2022 by Gedward Editing copy and typos 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 9, 2022 Heartbreaking when a chain collapses - so glad others have offered you accommodation! Without the painted backscene, your moor looks for all the world as if it is covered in thick mist, proper chilling! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the painted backscene, your moor looks for all the world as if it is covered in thick mist, proper chilling! It certainly is heartbreaking especially when it was originally my vendor who offered to break the chain because his purchase was empty. But at that time the person was alive. Sad. I was thinking misty moors when I first saw the pic too. Maybe I'll leave it like this and not bother to paint the whole backscene would save so much time and all. Only kidding! 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
