steve22 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Fascinating little (?) setup there. Reminds me of some of the 'Layout in a ...' articles in my old Railway Modellers and the like back in the 60s and 70s. Amongst all your pictures what really caught my eye was your carving on the plaster stonework making up the observatory. I've had a go at this sort of thing once but I see you've added relief and scoring on various individual stones. Glad I can zoom in close - I can see how you've done it, not too much but enough to add to the realism. I'll attempt something similar next time I'm carving plaster. Thanks, I've learned something today! Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 TBH that isn't mine - I just found it on the internet and thought it was something giving a different perspective on a NG layout model Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 28, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've been working in 1:13.7 on 1.75" track for about 10 years on and off. It is a fascinating scale, you can knock out a wagon from a couple of bits of timber and nails to make a flat truck, or you can go to the other extreme and construct it plank on plank with nuts bolts and rivets doing the jobs they were intended to do. Some of the guys in the USA are building Maine two footers in this scale, which turn out bigger than a 3.5" standard gauge 4-6-0 0r pacific. It is a scale for the scratchbuilder or the converter/kitbasher as there is little commercially available There is a Yahoo group if you want more info: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/7-8InchScaleTrains/ Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
