Demonstrations Preparing Artwork for Laser Cutting: Tim Horn Laser cutters are now accessible to many modellers and their use has the potential to avoid hours of tedious and repetitive work. However, as with any computer-controlled tool, the end result is only as good as the input provided. Tim will demonstrate how he achieves stunning results when modelling brick build buildings and the techniques can easily be applied to many other types of model. Modelling the Permanent Way: Howard Bolton At Scalefour North last year, Howard showed how he models point rodding and interlocking. Interest his exquisite trackwork was just as high and, by popular demand, he has agreed to return this year and explain how he goes about creating models of permanent way formations. Hands-on Weathering: Tim Shackleton Weathering models is now recognised as a distinct branch of the hobby. However, many modellers are apprehensive at the prospect of spoiling a factory finish. Using his extensive experience of weathering techniques, Tim will encourage visitors to have a go with their own items of rolling stock. Bring along one of your models and learn from a master of the art! Rolling Stock Construction: Dave Bywater & Geoff Allen Cleveland MRC are involved in an ambitious project to build a P4 model of the famous Skinningrove Zig-Zag railway for the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum. Dave and Geoff will demonstrate the construction of rolling stock to be used on this model based on research into the history and operation of the prototype. Historic Locomotive Building: Jim Summers As one of the Burntisland team, Jim knows a thing or two about the modelling of historic locomotives from the 1880s. He will be sharing some of his techniques for researching and constructing models of locomotives from this era. Modelling with Machine Tools: Vincent Worthington & Mick Moore P4 modelling is often described as the preserve of model engineers in 4mm scale. Whilst this is an exaggeration, and many members are very successful without recourse to heavy engineering, no-one can deny that using machine tools is simply good fun! Mick and Vincent will show how they produce useful jigs and other modelling aids using their lathe and milling machine.

Wizard of the Moor Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Scalefour North 2014 showguide is now available for download. This is the usual limited-edition director's cut, including two new pages showing the hall plan, so that you don't miss any of the attractions, and more detailed information about getting to the show by road, rail or bus. All of the guide has been updated to include web links to further information about the exhibits and traders, and Google maps directions for driving from the M1 junction 41 or walking from Wakefield Westgate station.If you are planning to arrive at one of the Wakefield stations, remember that there is a Wakefield Free City Bus (I know, in Yorkshire!) that picks up at both Kirkgate and Westgate, and sets down at the bus station. From the bus station it is a very short walk to Scalefour North, or service 110 stops even closer.I'm also pleased to announce that RT Models will be attending Scalefour North. Unfortunately, the L&Y Society will not be able to attend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard of the Moor Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 A wee bump to whet your appetites! For Scalefour North this year, I have arranged to sell a collection of kits for a gentleman who has had to give up modelling. The results of several hours of sorting, tagging and counting are shown below. There's some very desirable kits in this lot - D&S, Owen Lancaster, Chivers, Steve Barnfield, Nucast, Kirk etc. It's all priced to sell - not at eBay silly money. All will be available on the Bring & Buy stand at Wakefield this coming weekend. Please don't ask me to reserve anything in advance - I simply don't have the time to rummage through it all. What you don't experience with this picture is Witch of the Moor's reaction when she thought that I'd spent her monthly shoe budget on this lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
