Gloucester Road Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Painting N scale figures......this was my first attempt. flesh tones, i tried eyes and mouth, but thy didnt work very well. even with my finest paint brush still looked like blobs. will experiment with other options, thought it might not be worth it Not to bad. Guess he is happy, giving the thumbs up. Edited December 28, 2021 by Gloucester Road 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Nice work on the figures, looking at those last pictures would struggle to guess whether N gauge or 00! Cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMcKenzie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just stumbled across this. Some more brilliant modelling. The hunt close couplers looks very good on the previous page, as do all the figures. There are some brilliant photos as well, some of the most life like modelling I have seen. So many small life like details in every shot. Great stuff. All the best, Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This is areally nice model. I'm particularly impressed by the figures and your painting of them; they are often one of the parts least well done in N gauge, imho. Thanks for posting the link a page or so back to the supplier!

Gloucester Road Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I do enjoy operating trains. But since my large layout is complete, other than tweaks here and there, I've wanted to try new products, learn new skills and techniques. So, I started to make dioramas. Have enjoyed the photography side of the hobby, learning how to stage, take and process images. I have started to paint 3d printed figures enjoy this too, find in very relaxing and a surprising study in fashion and colour. I have wanted to build my own track for some time and combined with the desire to make a diorama featuring snow it seemed like the perfect opportunity. An order was placed with British Finescale for a jig and concrete sleepered track. The difference between this and code 55 is remarkable. Having assembled a test section i decided to try weathering the sleepers and chairs before assembly in the jig, makes an even bigger difference Painted vs unpainted sitting on the section that will be track on the diorama I am really enjoying this track assembly, it's not fast but the end result is really good.

Gloucester Road Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Bit more work done. Scale Model scenery trackside platforms, N scenic trunking and relay box, some ground contours, and sleepers ready to accept some rail. an idea of what the winter backscence will look like 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
