RMweb Premium DLT Posted April 1, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2013 Fanatstic stuff Phil, and you've achieved a very convincing concrete effect on the er, whatever it is! How did you create that finish? Many thanks, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2013 I was hoping someone would comment on what it actually was and save me from showing my ignorance! Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 It's a slurry settleing tower which is fed from the washery, the slurry at the end of the process is sent via conveyance belts etc to a dump. Mine is made from card which was washed over with Polyfilla, painted with water based paint and then dusted over (weathered) with black paint.

Ben Alder Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Just found this here - marvellous stuff- I had seen in on YMR, but its good to see it getting a wider audience- more please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain C Robinson Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I can only echo what others have said, but I really felt I had to express my thanks to you for showing us this lovely model. I love the colliery particularly, it captures some of the atmosphere I remember from several collieries, visited in the early seventies but never forgotten. I also love your scrapyard scene, and the way the backscene works so well. I shall be looking out for the article to appear in the press! all the best, Iain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks Ben, appreciated greatly! Thanks Iain, having worked in two collieries when I was younger, I tried to capture that unique atmosphere, i'm glad you think it works. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted April 2, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2013 Mine is made from card which was washed over with Polyfilla, painted with water based paint and then dusted over (weathered) with black paint. Phil Hi Phil, Thanks very much for that, its a superbly convincing model. When you say "dusted over", do you mean you've used powder paint on it dry? or the normal dry-brushng technique? I'm intrigued to know, as thats some of the best modelled concrete I've ever seen! Thanks again, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Hi Dave, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, the "dusting over" was with an airbrush. The Polyfilla gives a slightly rough surface so dry brushing won't really work, for best results it has to be an airbrush. Also, i've just remembered, the concrete segments were lightly scribed when the Polyfilla was soft. Any more questions, please ask.

artizen Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If the bit that needs work is across the window, then it needs a backscene if you want any chance of photographing it. The basics are looking good (of course). Are the brown areas at the front marsh, bog or intended water? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 The brown areas are water, the pictures have not captured the reflections, as for the backscene, that's not a problem with Photoshop! Phil 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
artizen Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The view out of the window looks pretty good without the back scene! Where did you get that backscene in the last photo? I could do with something like that for my layout! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Budgie Posted April 7, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is that your land that can be seen out of the window? If so, it is sadly lacking something, such as a continuation of the model railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
