Dicky W Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Good afternoon Here's what's coming up in the latest issue. Sorry no launch video this time as Chris has been prised from his computer and is is having a well-deserved break. Going to miss that music!

Administrators SteveCole Posted August 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi all, Over the next few days I'll be uploading some sneak previews of various features that you'll find in the September issue of BRM. This issue is a 'Weathering Special' and includes the free 32-page Modelling Inspiration magazine. Unlike the first printed MI, this issue is entirely new content with Andy York focusing on Pendon's Vale Scene and HMRS Dewsbury Goods. We're really happy with this issue of BRM with the general feeling in the office that this is our best yet! We hope you feel the same. Here's the first of many sneak previews. This is the opening spread of our lead layout feature: January 1968, photographed by a certain Mr A York! Thanks, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Where is the trademark smokey haze? Or are they all out of service? We deserve to be told. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Where is the trademark smokey haze? Or are they all out of service? That's the scrap line Ed, even I couldn't sneak some wisps in there. However this will all be balanced by a splutteringly-fumy shot on one of the Jan '68 pages. Well I assume it'll be in there as I haven't seen the article once the professionals have had their mitts on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRealistic Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Can't miss this one either, even though I'm sure it'll bring tears to my eyes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators SteveCole Posted August 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2012 Right, day two and another spread to whet your appetite! Today we're previewing the awesome puddle diorama by RMweb member, Michael Russell. This is part of our Practical BRM series and Michael goes into detail on how you can model puddles to this quality. This is the first spread of the 4-page article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted August 2, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2012 Cheers Steve. I've been muddling through my mudelling for years, now I'll be able to puddle through! The Practical BRM series seems to be working out really well. Part 2 of the derelict build, too? Should be good. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SteveCole Posted August 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks Jeff. Yes, Part two of the derelict barn article is in this issue. The finished barn is very impressive, especially when compared to the prototype! I'll upload the Woodmores Scrapyard opening spread tomorrow - it's stunning!

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted August 3, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 3, 2012 The Woodmores Scrapyard picture reminds me of the films made of the artist (and 9F owner) David Shepherd, while touring Barry Scrapyard in the late 60s. Can you imagine a modeller buying a pristine steamer in order to convert it to a scrapyard wreck? I say this jokingly, so I'm sure somebody reading this will cite examples of it being done. Looks like a good article - but a bit beyond my (non-existent!!) weathering skills. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SteveCole Posted August 4, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2012 Looks like a good article - but a bit beyond my (non-existent!!) weathering skills. Jeff - just after the Woodmores Scrapyard article, we have a Practical BRM feature about creating rust! Follow Michael Russell's advice and there's no reason why you can't be creating weathered locos to the standard in the Scrapyard article! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'll give you credit, Steve. You are very good with the PR and are empowered with the articles to back it up (that's meant as a compliment). Talk about whetting the apetite. I may have to buy a "cheap" Hornby Railroad steamer to start learning the "crapping-up" process. Whatever, if you can encourage me to try new skills, that's a good thing.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2012 Jeff, Buy a Dapol (Airfix) loco kit to practice on - much cheaper !! Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted August 4, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2012 Jeff, Buy a Dapol (Airfix) loco kit to practice on - much cheaper !! Stu Thanks for the advice Stu. I've never really had a go at weathering rolling stock - I've always been afraid to "mess up" something that's expensive. But as I've got older I've adopted more of a "sod it" attitude (I remember the time when I didn't want to ballast track and used that horrible foamy stuff!!), so I fancy having a go at crapping-up a wagon or two!!

blueeighties Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have to say I am impressed with this issue....I haven't purchased a copy for Years. The cover interested me in Smiffs, and I was pleasantly surprised by the content. If this is now the standard it may be subscription time soon Regards, Lee.
