Guest oldlugger Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Excellent work as always mudmagnet! You'll need to change the title again soon as you add more metres! What about: "East Yarde in an indefinite number of metres"? Cheers Simon Edited March 4, 2012 by oldlugger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hi Richard The extesion is looking great and the Cromton loco fits in nicely. Will have to look the than closely when you finish it. Keep up the good work. RAY70B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 5, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2012 Excellent work as always mudmagnet! You'll need to change the title again soon as you add more metres! What about: "East Yarde in an indefinite number of metres"? Cheers Simon Hi Simon, Thanks for your kind comments. It's unlikely that the layout would be extended, with the design of the backscene etc. I do really to get on with Burrington Arms and East Yarde has been quite a distraction! Very enjoyable though!

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 9, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Mudders, You've done a huge amount since I last tuned in, its looking terrific. All the best, Dave. Thanks Dave. Progress goes in fits and starts, depending upon what mood I'm in! Anyway, basic ground covering now glued and ready for static grass application! Hedges now added to rear of yard and just waiting for the glue to dry before fixing the gate in position. Hopefully get some photos posted tomorrow.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 11, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2012 The gate and hedges have been glued into place, just need to add a little more fencing between the gate and track. A few more things to do, but make steady progress. Also, been having a go with my new airbrush and have added weathering to the two class 31's. Still need to do a little bit of work on the roof, but getting there. Ignore the gap between the backscene sections - not quite in line and will be sorted (with the addition of a tree)! 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Richard The class 31 is looking the part now you have done the weathering, and the extra metre board is looking great I like the gate and the bushes at the back. Fantastic modelling. RAY70B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic modelling. RAY70B Hi Ray, It's all coming together quite well now. Will be even better when I get the static grass applied! Stunning mate the scenics are fantastic n the 31 is looking great your a natural with that airbrush great job Hi Neil, I had a go with a few wagons just to get the 'feel' but then thought what the heck - just get on with it! I watched a couple of DVD's (thanks Ray), one by Tim Shackleton - very helpful, plus re-read Martyn Welch's book (The Art Of Weathering). So, I just weathered the 2 off 31's and one of my 25's - just got the rest to do now! Hi Richard It's really looking fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it progress Cheers Bill Hi Bill, thanks.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 11, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've had a bit more time today to get some more scenic work done, so made a couple short sections of wooden fence as well as a few small trees. I also straightened the gate post - it's a bit crooked - help by my son accidentally trying to close the gate - note, the gate is glued to the post! So, away it came - not to worry all sorted now. I've also glued the sheeted timber in place and added a few logs. Photos to follow later in the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Richard, yes I like the angle of the Cl 31 shot it makes the static grass stand out and helps the look fo reality, well done mate, fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 18, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've had some time today to get started with the static grass and although the paint is not fully dry, I've taken a few photos today. There are some patches that need a bit more work, but will wait until the glue has fully dried. I also need to finish colouring the fences to get that grey / green / brown finish and then will have a few weeds / plants growing up some of the posts. There are also a few details to add to the yard. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 18, 2012 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2012 Great pictures of this interesting layout. Looking forward to further updates on it Great set of photos... Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that the 'logs' are twigs from trimming a plant in the garden. As mentioned above, still a few more weeds to add. Hoping to get some more done at the end of the week.

RMweb Gold jamest Posted March 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Richard, Really fantastic progress aided by some nice photography too. I like the 'half relief' trees. Can I ask how you produce the ground covering in the siding area? - it really looks great (sort of textured paint - but better) and I'd like to try to replicate something like this on my siding. Cheers, James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted March 18, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2012 Looking gorgeous Richard, especially the area around the level-crossing. There can't be much more left to do is there? I need to make some more trees for the far end of this second board and will take a few photos showing how this are made - quite simple to do really I will watch out for that, never had much success with trees myself. Is the layout booked for any shows yet? Cheers, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi Richard I like the small fence you made by the gate, that will like good when you have finished painting it. Photos look great very realistic. RAY70B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi - really like how this is looking now. Can I suggest some form of cattle grid arrangement around the rails by the level crossing? They are quite obvious in a lot of photos of these ungated crossings, seem to be triangular or upright sections of wood arranged parallel to the rails, filling the gap between fences, rails & in the "4-foot" too. Couple of photos in this collection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Richard, Can I make an observation on the two buffer stops ? I think you've left in some addition plastic used by Peco to help anchor the stops on the track, but which is not a part of a real item. These are taken at Truro Stn, and are as similar to the Peco one as I can find (other than having extended rails alongside the running rail). Other than that, fantastic as always.
