hybridangel77 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi all My flexi track and points arrived today so i managed to get a couple more hours in the loft to crack on with the scenic fiddle yard. The track plan is not 100% yet and i am still playing around with it. I started to carve out the hillside and fill in the gaps ready to paint which is a job for the weekend. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Also in the post today came a Ratio signal box interior which i have been meaning to buy for a while now so over the weekend i will paint and fit the interior as well as fit some lighting inside the signal box so it's ready to plant. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi all Today i spent a few hours mocking up this road bridge....it is made from 5mm foam board so it stays nice and rigid then clad in 30 thou plastkard. It is now ready to be primed and painted into concrete then weathered. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Whilst i was bridge building i started the construction work on the stream/dyke but it is hard to see from the photos what i am trying to achieve but all will become apparent...(hopefully). 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 And to finish off the days work in the loft i got the first few coats of paint onto the hillside. This was done using a few shades of grey's, black, and a few different browns in acrylic paints sprayed on using water spray bottles as it makes the colours non uniform which looks better....i just need to let it all dry over night and apply some more coats tomorrow and then repeat the day after until i am happy with how it looks then to finish it off i dry brush white paint to the edges of the rocks then i will add some grass, bushes and trees etc. The wooden frame below will also need painting black and that will be done by hand to tidy it all up. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Evening Today i painted the interior parts for the signal box and are now glued in place....i just need to add some interior and exterior lighting to it before it is placed onto the layout. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 The concrete bridge has now had three coats of concrete colour paint which i think is enough to cover the primer and look good too. The road section above still needs to be done as well as the little details and weathering and it will be ready to be glued into place. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 The rock face/hillside next to the scenic fiddle yard is now fully painted using lots of different shades of grey, black and browns and then i went over the edges with white. All that is needed now is the grass, bushes and trees etc but that will be done last once the mainline and stream is complete at the back as i have to lean over the layout and will end up making a mess of all the scenic work. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
