lmsforever Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 What type of station building are you going to use on this station? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 This one's just bog standard, with peco roof sections and a generic station building, nothing fancy. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well it's been a while. With work being manic, I've not been able to do as much as I'd like, and so near the finish line too. But I've been doing bits and bobs, to keep things moving forward. The basic structure of the final station, Sturford, is now in place, and I've started the ballasting of it. Just the over-roof, lights, platform furniture,, OHLE and signals to do, a big clean up and at last the Grand opening and running session.

Doughnut Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Very nice Dave! Not long now... May I ask what you used for the grassy area on the right hand side of your first photograph pl Thanks. The method I use to grass up scrubland areas, uses a combination of Woodland scenics flocks (Burnt grass, Light &medium greens, Wild honey and Harvest gold), some of the Silflore long grasses, 4 or 5mm and for the longer straw grass/reeds I use the Hairy cigar method. If I describe this method, you'll think im odd...but it works a treat!! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tase Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) If I describe this method, you'll think im odd...but it works a treat!! Dave Lol, odd or not you've captured the look very well indeed. I am trying to achieve something very similar on a diorama and would be interested to learn more about the 'hairy cigar' method. Also, do you have or are you considering a YouTube channel for when your trains are running? I'm sure you'd have more than a few interested viewers! Edit: found a video on YT re the 'hairy cigar'....I'd never thought about doing that! Edited August 31, 2014 by Tase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughnut Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 My version of the hairy cigar involves a cheap blond wig. ...is the YT version the same? (Told you it sounds odd!) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughnut Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Indeed it did Dave. It's amazing the weird and wonderful ways of creating scenery/landscapes! Never ceases to amaze...! I think Terry (Hybridangel) was using a Brillo pad to do shrubbery, last time I looked at his thread. Who'd have thought that...but it looks bang-on.
