Kev_Lewis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Fabrice, The YL Point is coming along very nicely. Simon at the Titfield Thunderbolt Bookshop currently has Gordon Gravett's first book in stock: http://titfield.co.uk/Book_shelves/A3_dets.htm#2694 I've purchased from him both in the shop and online. Might be worth emailing him to ask if he'll post to France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Siddall Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Accidentally stumbled cross this thread as I tend to head for the 7mm+ section by default to avoid the temptation other scales as my progress is slow enough as it is without distractions ;-).What a characterful and superbly modeled cameo – small is definitely beautiful. I'm particularly impressed by the trees in their leafless state. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourthsVeil Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Looking good, really – and the main stem does rise verticly imO. And a quite useful source dealing with modelling trees is this one - start with post 18. Very nice modelling. Can learn a lot from you, e.g. the fir tree replacing the edge column. Thanks for sharing Armin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
