milocomarty Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks !! Pff have luck, just dust on the sensor and no dead pixels I think..tuesday evening modeling night, since almost a year I try to model every tuesday together with John a friend of mine. Decided to change the roof cover of the enginehouse from rolled roof to shingles. John already made a dormer and now he's handlaying shakes...quit a project..in the mean time I try to finish the last part that needs green before the wharf.. Anyone seeing dots, please let me know ! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Needed space in my workshop so I installed 2 of the Mara Harbor modules where I originaly designed them..as part of the Cardigan Bay Coastal Railroad..also made a start to rip out al the greens on Nolans Wharf to get them up to my new standard.. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well made the connection, this messy module and did some test runs with trains. Shall see if I can shoot a video this week. Nolans Wharf has a new ground cover and the first coat of paint went in. I use latex wallpaint to color my groundcover, just dab it on.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I wish you would agree to move this thread into the USA and Canadian section - you will get a ton more followers there.... Lovely layout, skillful stuff. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Could always create a thread linking to it, no? Marty, this layout is fantastic. In fact it's beyond fantastic. Instant thread follow for me - so much inspiration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class 74 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wow, just superb... first class!!! Great layout, thanx for sharing. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ok I give in. What I do suggest is that you start a thread in the USACAN section with a few choice photos and then just link it here as Daniel suggested. Your greenery, in particular, is mind-blowing! Cheers, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Could ask a mod to move it, thought it's a layout so it belongs in the layout board.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I can do it but will leave it with a link from here. If you are unhappy I guess we could always move it back..... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well Pete if you think it's more in its place over there go ahead. Still have to find my way around here... But I still can make another topic about the entire layout.. Well most of you might think painting groundcover thats odd..I do it mostly to blend all colors together and get an overall equal color on the layout, no matter what your initial groundcover color is. Can be rocks, grinded kitty litter or whatever.. Basecoat with RAL7013, dabbed on, followed with RAL7006 a bit Frary way of wet drybrush, a coat with a brownish RAL 8025 followed with 1019 to blend it all together.. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Could ask a mod to move it, thought it's a layout so it belongs in the layout board.. Plenty of US and Canadian layouts in the USA and Canadian section. It’s not all real thing it’s a mix. As I said if you do not like the result we can take it from there... Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's early risers thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not that early riser First of all let me introduce me a bit, started modeling in 2010 after seeing Troels Kirks Coastline Railroad..first show in 2012 with Nolans Wharf, named it after Brian Nolan one of my favorite modelers who unfotunately passed away. Started Mara Harbor in March 2013 with a deadline for the OntraX show in 2014 , well that didn't entirely work out, attended with the layout but not up to my standard..did to much work inbetween on a Dutch layout named Oosterbeek Hoog..http://teammitropa.nl/oosterbeek-hoog.. First steps http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31734 Cardigan Bay part 1 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31734 Cardigan Bay part 2 http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35880 Mara Harbor build http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39404 At the end of 2015 Mara Harbor will be on the road again. One show in Holland for shure, negociating with Model Rail Scotland and Warley Birmingham for 2016 so maybe I see a lot of you there.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milocomarty Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 After rhe paintjob was done I started on the new layers of greens. Weapon of choice a RTS greenkeeper 35kV, the same machines I´ll do my workshops with. Although I do own this big expencive Maag 70kV machine I like a bit less power working on my attic. Added a layer of WS fine turf burned grass and a layer of 2mm fibers from a Tsjech company called Modelscene. Although they look very bright I like the look of fresh short undergrowth.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 In the mean time I added 3 layers more, from 2mm beige to 6.5mm late summer blend (one of my own mixes) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Quite magnificent! Your trees, undergrowth and grass and weeds are outstanding. They make the whole thing totally convincing. Brilliant stuff and very inspiring. Chaz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robatron86 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Truely stunning work. I was convinced it wasn't a model to start with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks gents !! Been working lately on wireframe trees and various trunks. Tried some new stuff to model their bark, Vallejos Dark Earth, an acrylic paste.. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
