Jaz Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 A trial in place,................... a couple of more fine layers were added to each section this evening. Each one is different. to eventually settle on the colours I want to use. More practice required, Not able to get a good camera shot either.......... I did find,it was better,to use a cotton bud loaded, and let the liquid run down, than it was a fine brush...........

Andy Y Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi David, Sorry to intrude but I'm having to edit the topic title to remove all of the full stops as it's having an impact on another software module I'm working on. Plus keeping the title shorter by removing the full stops means that the full topic title shows up to readers in View New Content so they can see if it's updated.

Fat Controller Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Part of the line from Martin Mill was re-used to provide a track for some very heavy guns to run on during WW2. I've tried doing a link to GoogleMaps:- https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Guston,+Dover,+Kent/@51.150061,1.3379199,2344m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x47dea52e02b3f9d7:0x648dcda893d6ab0b?hl=en Look for Guston- just south of there is a line of trees shaped a bit like a hockey stick. These were planted to camouflage the line; a couple of other bits of hedgerow and copse mark other bits of the route. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
