RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 5, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2018 the recent rain and warm weather is causing decapods to spread. 31939772_10155999485535528_3289341548780584960_o.jpg if you see an outbreak of decapods, please do not approach and inform the authorities at once decapods are harmless, but can cause lasting damage to wallet contents Nicely slightly different I see.

RMweb Gold 81C Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2018 You could make up the arch with various strips of plasticard, or find a Linka moulding, or get one laser cut. Me, I'd do the first, probably with a basic shape cut with a cutter ( e.g. Silhouette). The roadside station windows are similar, and will be done like that, with fine filler where needed for the more awkward shapes & corners. Edit: Don't overlook the Scalescenes products - there maybe a wall or window in one of the kits ( church?) that will be suitable. i have a set of moulds going errant make me an offer i can't refuse , Phillus have you thought about the Wills stone sheets sanded flat they look pretty good . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 81C Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2018 The worst car I have ever owned myself wasn't really a car at all, it was a Daewoo. Only to be driven at night I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 That's a ghost's car that is. I have decided that as this Engine Shed is almost exacly the size I need I might get it and fettle it to look more like the SJ Goods Shed. B 00-10.jpg The windows can be blocked off on the Platform side and the 'inside wall' modified. The end wall windows can be changed from the circular ones and the left side front door would be covered by a scratched, lean to, corrugated thing. Mods to the roof anf I think it might look OK?

P Just nipped upstairs to find this, I made it about a year ago and never bothered to use it....any good ! I should have used an overlay for the roof and put whole lengths on to alleviate that zip effect which is quite prominent when its painted if you're not careful.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) The worst car I have ever owned myself wasn't really a car at all, it was a Daewoo. I liked my Daewoo, in fact Hanging Hill was built so it would fit in the Daewoo. Then Mrs M sold it and got a Hyundai which was bigger but HH only just fitted in it, except when we loaded it after Ally Pally. You are given a loading time and we were getting near to that but there was still some packing up to do. I gave the keys to my mate to get the car. We loaded at the said time but the baseboards wouldn't go in. Or the back door wouldn't close. It fitted on the way to the show, why didn't it fit when ready to go home? It took ages of umming and Ahhhing to realise my mate is taller, so he moved the seat back. Edited May 5, 2018 by Clive Mortimore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Inpockets Well that's a bl##dy grand offer. What's your opinion of it? Is it sturdy and is it really about 274 mm long and 137 mm wide and as I respect your opinion, is it a worthwhile project do you think? Finally, do you really, really not need it? The roof will most likely need to be almost totally rebuilt anyway to attain the correct 'look' Phanks Edited May 5, 2018 by Mallard60022 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) I got done for speeding in my mum's allegro.... I gave that a 'craftsmanship/clever' rating 'cos that took some doing! A bit like my mate being stopped by the police on suspicion of joyriding in his Chevette Shove-it; maroon paint faded to almost grey, most of the horses already escaped from under the bonnet, weeks worth of fast food wrappers in the footwells. He said it would be more like sadriding not joyriding...! Edited May 5, 2018 by Ramblin Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its made from a stiff-ish laser cut card as are all of the L-Cut products ( I think ) and when the roof has been glued on it'll be fairly stiff, maybe fixed to a base would help too. It is, as your measurements and it'll be worth messing about with it I think as your proposal. Here's a quick shot of the roof structure as built. No, No, No....YES I really, really, really don't need it so up to you mate. I'm getting rid of a few bits now to make more room for my 7mm project and I'd rather it went to someone who wants it.

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted May 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 I got done for speeding in my mum's allegro.... A mate used to tow three racing dinghies around with an Austin A55 van that had been fitted with a diesel engine, as used in taxis. He got booked for speeding at 60 mph with the trailer (the limit in those days was 50) and kept the ticket so that he could prove to any doubters that the van would actually go that fast.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2018 A former colleague got done some years ago for speeding - on a recumbent cycle! I think he was clocked at well in excess of 40 mph, and plod was not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 6, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 Today I wish I was at the West Summerzet Railway or similar west country attraction. The weather looks superbio. The weather is superbio here, however all we have today is some empty stock behind a Duff, going to Hitichin Up Yard. Ready for a WCR trip to the Welsh Coast during this week sometime. I might go and see it and have a sunbathe on Platfrom 1 pretending it is 1960.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 After crawling around on all fours in the loft yesterday laying insulation, she had me up a step ladder cutting hedges down, which is termed trimming according to her. I have hayfever related to evergreen pollen, and my skin can react if in contact with fir tree leaves. Despite a shower I was still itchy this morning from the old loft insulation which was fiber glass based. My hands and arms are now very itchy and swollen, and my breathing is quite laboured. Blow if I am going to get up the ladder and cut the one twig I missed. We have good weather here as well. The dogs enjoyed their walk on the beach this morning.

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 6, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) God bless all you poor sufferers of back, itch, nasal wibbles and heat rash. I trimmed one bush ( ) this afternoon. It took about 20 minutes and then I had to lie down as I felt all faint. SWMBO has been gardening for hours; no idea how she does it ........... It is hotter here (and it is railing there) than where we used to go in Greece at this time of year. S.

We didn't bother this year. We didn't last year, either. Nor the year before that. Or before that, come to think of it. In fact, I can't remember the last time we've done that, not since the calamitous time when some chums and I rode on bicycles all through the night to see the sun rise on a hill in Surrey, only to find that someone had misread the contours on the map and we ended up trying to cook sausages on a portable stove in a damp and misty hollow.
