David Bigcheeseplant Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 David - fantastic stuff. Can I ask if you have set out how you've painted the wall anywhere and provide me with a link? I'm struggling to get that mortar wash right and your effort is quite brilliant! Many thanks Chris The brickwork was sprayed with red oxide primer left to dry, then Humbrol orange with a touch of Phoenix red was airbrushed over to give a base colour. When dry neat Humbrol 121 is brushed into the brickwork then wiped of straight away with a kitchen towel, again when dry the orange/brick red is dry brushed on slowly building the colour up.

Baby Deltic Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Charlie Connor's 'Houndsditch' layout. I believe the closed station is based on 'St Mary's, Whitechapel. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Laser cut by Yorl Modelmaking although I drew the artwork They're doing some things for the EYAG - we've been very impressed by their stuff - it's not cheap but should be excellent value for money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37176 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Some of my old Inchnacardoch layout which I sold in 2002. Inchnacardoch mk2 should appear eventually. Real place, fictional railway terminus linking FW to IS in the eighties. Cheers Rugby 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulzer27jd Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 my first ever post,go easy on me.2xLima 40s at donnington my home for vintage heavy metal It may be the lighting you used, but it gives the photo a vintage feel. Don't know why but it made me think of Leeds Holbeck. Very nice. JD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Max Stafford Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 my first ever post,go easy on me.2xLima 40s at donnington my home for vintage heavy metal Gonzo, that is one top class scene. I clicked onto this as I was listening to a really good mid '60s Garage rock track and the sights and sounds just clicked together seamlessly - brilliant! Dave.

Michael Delamar Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 love that shot Gonzo! reminds me of a shot of a OO layout I saw once of a similar depot set up with green 47's and other period diesels in the model railway page of a 1980s "Rail" magazine, havent seen the issue since I was a kid, but would like to know what layout it was.

BlackRat Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Gonzo and Ruston, was flicking through and actually thought both were real. Top quality, who needs to worry about the future of the hobby when we are turning layouts out like these! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 David (B cheessplant), May I congratulate you on some excellent scribed brickwork some of the best I have seen, not allways easy to get right, i like the closures at the corners and window apertures, careful attention to brick pattern detail is that, well done. cheers Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Just drifted into this thread for the first time in a few weeks. some fantastic stuff there of all different kinds. I absolutely love the Paul Bartlett takeoff, including the typeface on the image - well done !!! Rug's Scottish stuff (well apart from the duff !!!!) very nice and very recognisable. Seriously, i want to do a Western Lines Brush in that style with numbers on all four corners. Donnington looks very interesting, but I am guessing it is in Derbys rather than in Salop !!! Definately got the Midland lines look with Sulzer 2s and 4s and the EEs whistling away. Great stuff all and some serious inspiration - particularly those "anchor-mounts" Ruston !!!
