richard w Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've added the first layer of realistic water. I've also included some junk including an old bike and the shopping trolley. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Richard, you might consider adding several figures representing the canal preservation society doing an annual cleanup. A few figures supervising and one or two trying to grapple the shopping cart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveArkley Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You've gone quite Richard. Is it still not dry? Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verulam Central Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Richard, Have to say your layout is very good been watching your you-tube videos the layout looks great. I hope to post my test layout online in the future. Hope to see some more running videos. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Got back from holiday yesterday. I haven't had a chance to check the water yet, but it should be dry by now. Fingers crossed! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveArkley Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just watched the latest video (part 3). The water is looking great, although those drying times are a pain. In other videos I've watched the modeller seems to poor thinner layers than those you're using, as I understand it to avoid the risk of clouding. You don';t seem to be having that trouble at all, possibly because of the care you are taking to avoid contact with PVA. Great stuff, looking forward to the next instalment.

Doughnut Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just seen the latest vid. Superb as usual..canal looks a treat....nice tip stippling top of each layer with paint to give a dark depth to it. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Richard, I watched your 3rd video today and enjoyed it very much. I've got to say I would have added the hillside scenery prior to adding another layer of Easy Water to avoid getting the grass into the wet mixture. Anyhow, adding the water and then the scatter to the hillside created a good bit of cinematic drama. Keep those video's coming. Brent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks Guys It really is taking a while to dry. I've got to the point where i'm pouring new layers as soon as i'm sure the previous one is dry. I did a little bit of scenery at the same time but have stopped as any delay in pouring the water just adds days to the whole process! I've been very busy on other areas but haven't had a chance to get any pictures. With any luck i'll get some on here tonight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave Hi Dave I'm pouring very thick layers compared to everything else i've seen. A lot of tutorials I saw showed just one very thin layer being used and no more. Apart from the time taken it drying very nicely. However I've still got multiple layers to go so fingers crossed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecordEdit Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Afternoon Richard, Just want to add my few words to the chorus of support you have enjoyed here with Everard Junction. I have been watching your YouTube efforts from down here in New Zealand for a year or more now and it is invariably enjoyable minutes spent reviewing the progress you have made on the layout, along with the many "how-to's" and what have you. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing the canal scene in its final form soon enough. RC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here are the latest pics of the layout. I've been busy on a number of areas. Loads of extra scenery has been added to the countryside section of the mainline. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've also done some more work on the town scene. This area is far from finished, but its getting there. Thats all for now. I'll post some more when I've finished the canal scene. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blvrace Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Awesome photos the car park areas around the houses looks good what do you use for the roads ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Road Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The shot of the HST passing over the canal is brilliant. Not that the rest isnt but when you started this process that is almost the image I had in my head. Sometrully fantastic work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub39h Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Always a pleasure to see your layout "in action". I love the shots of the HST. I can't wait until I have the space to run mine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdw7300 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Cracking photos. Thank you for continuing to upload your excellent "how to" videos. Watched the lasted two over the weekend - as ever picked up loads of tips for myself. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Awesome photos the car park areas around the houses looks good what do you use for the roads ? The actual road is just a painted surface. I use various layers of woodland scenics paints to get the right shade. The pavements are scratch built using polyfilla and matchsticks.

Popular Post richard w Posted September 21, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2014 Work is slowly progressing on the canal scene. I've removed the temporary piece of wood from the edge and added a final thin layer of water to finish things off. Its still drying at present. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
