RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted December 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just caught up, what with having togo to work for two days, then Christmas shopping and today Grand parent duty. I like the photos of work in progress, they are much more helpful than threads that go, 'Look at my wonderful achievement', followed by loads saying 'oh Wonderful!'. Having said that, I like the toilet. Is that your first scratch build? I have used a stanley knife on wills limewash effect sheets for the cottage that I am building, but the sheets are bigger than the cottage, except the ends of course. I realised that I could not turn the sides on their end to make the ends as the relief would go in the wrong direction! I used a file to mitre the corners. It was surprisingly quick but I cannot say how accurate they are as it is not stuck together yet. Well, I have only been building it for over two years so what do you expect? (I have to add that I have been doing other modelling things as well.) Not wishing to be a creep but that 10 Commandments shed rather lets the side down compared to yours.

Kal Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 HI Thank-you Chris, Over time we will replace most buildings with scratch build and those we don't we will try and modify to capture those missing elements. If nothing else we have become more critical of ourselves as time goes by and learnt the ability, in part, to be able to say, not happy with that, lets try again. Well sometimes, it is a bind. I still look back at the old photos of the Goathland and think I really liked that.... but at least we have the pictures, and in due course will be more happy with it's replacement.

Jaz Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Having said that, I like the toilet. Is that your first scratch build? Well it's my first finished scratch build. Earlier in this thread I started Ye Olde White Horse (a rather LARGE pub) making it out of 20 and 30 thou, however when I got to the thatched roof, I used DAS and hit a slight problem the roof was potential heavy enough to collapse the walls. I got thick black to make a reinforced interior, when Kal said why not replace the flimsy (when under strain from a pack or two of DAS) with the black and I can add LEDs without it shining thru,.Then G&WR coughed, and I had to do something in an evening....so a stubby4-esque WC seemed appropriate.Plus by this time I was watching act_mr and Freebs as well as G&WR and later JCL all power housing through with new skills, so I though hmmmm, once Goathland main station is back up to a half decent level, I can refer to all their great new skills.

Jaz Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) And just for that........ extending the heartbeat area, more grass and the building set back rmweb23heartbeat1 a view with the twig not even turned into a tree, you can still make it look ok rmweb214heartbeat2 the new join needs some work, the pinky colour is my soil, two shades of fine turf by woodland scenic, i go for the British Army camo look with 2 colours, which can have a third colour added when I have a large area ready, before adding static grass, trees, bushes etc. rmweb215heartbeat3 a paint scraper and some grey emulsion later rmweb216heartbeat4 the bridge sits too high, so fillets, not too regular, obvious patterns glare out rmweb217heartbeat5 some more grey paint, will add some grass on the asides when dry rmweb218heartbeat6 a little grass added the other side of the new road, and some black added to the road rmweb219heartbeat7 an angled view, as said before some more grass will be added to the road slopes when dry, more colour washes will be added to the road when the new paint has dried off rmweb220heartbeat8 and the grass on the sides will be added after that rmweb221heartbeat9 There you go a blow by blow as I extend and start to join the scenery. With some obvious joins etc which will need treatment in the near future. Edited December 20, 2013 by Jaz 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted December 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2013 Jaz, Looking Good. I look forward to seeing it progress. Hope your Dad continues to improve.

Jaz Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 What's wrong with that The barns 40 foot x 45 foot, have you considered the cost??? Or to put it into perspective, just how many trains,locos, decoders, sound decoders, trains, buildings, wills kits, evergreen, etc do you think you could have for what that would cost??????? Not to mentions shoes, handbags, jewellery, and I never get my nails manicured or my hair cut professionally (having had a previously mentioned mullet and two head/hair burnings (1980s and perms have a lot to answer for)I cut my own!!!) That train was in my town, unfortunately I missed it this year. My commiserations, I would have run out to see that if I had thought it was passing nearby.

Jaz Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 No I usually use a sanding block to rough down the edge when I accidentally break one!!! Nailvarnish is a problem, as nearly all the materials I use rub/wear/wash it off. Which is why I usually paint my toenails instead. You might consider that for those sling back wellies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
