Mike at C&M Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Having spent 50 years of my life in the area, and therefore thousands of hours on Citadel station, this is definitely one to watch. Very impressed with Victoria viaduct, its' details and attention to the contours around the area. A job well done! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jon, cheers for those comments, I must have done something right :-) we had all the elevations re engineers drawings etc, had to construct it to its lowest datum point then the scenery having to be built around it, I must point out that I am only responsible for the structures only, not the layout or trackwork etc.. cheers Peter Edited March 21, 2014 by Gravy Train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Looking superb, Gravy. Really getting the Citadel ambience - it's evidently seeped into the masonry of the Victoria viaduct... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonte Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks for sharing, Peter. I really admire your weathered brick effect. This an aspect of modelling few can successfully achieve. There are myriad examples of good models among these pages but unfortunately, for the observer, their creators regrettably haven't, for whatever reason, taken that extra step of turning a well modelled town or village scene into something, well........ realistic so 'modelesque' is how they remain. Admittedly, attempts are seemingly made to accomplish the desired affect, however, the palette/ technique is limited. You have obviously prevailed. Would you be willing to share your secrets with other members of the forum? I assume it was a mixture of dry brushing and thin washes? May I ask that you be kind enough to reproduce each stage of your method on some scrap plasticard? Even something in the region of 4" square would be of benefit. I hope this is agreeable. Thanking you on behalf of other not so gifted modellers like me. Jonte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain C Robinson Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I just stumbled upon this thread and am so glad I did. What fantastic work, really clean and tight and yet so atmospheric already. I know Citadel very well, so I can't wait to see how this develops. As someone else said earler, a classic in the making. cheers, Iain Edited March 30, 2013 by Iain C Robinson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Ian, many thanks for your kind apreciative comments, I must emphasise that the layout is not mine but I have constructed many of the buidings for it as well as the victoria bridge, I will be posting more from my Hard drive as time allows and it is good to see some of your own models of recent on here, not had chance yet to respond on your thread but will do so. cheers Peter A L. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The more I look at that trackwork Peter, the more I know for certain that I'm looking at the birth of a future classic - and once you start the scenics.... well I just can't wait. Really great stuff, it doesn't get better than this. Allan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Hi there, thanks for the kind comments, it is without doub't a large layout project but not mine, i was encouraged by the owner to post up some photos on RMWeb of which there are many and will post up as time allows. I would just like to point out that the Trackwork is not my work nor are the baseboards but certainly at (this stage) most of the Architecture is all my work. The victoria Viaduct Bridge was particularly difficult to construct as there are different ground levels, in reality the trackbed is on two levels and a lower rd level not to mention a sloping rd that passes under the bridge, so it had to be constructed at its lowest DATUM point with the levels built up around it. The bridge also slopes and rises as well as it not being a stright line but more of a bow shape. the Etched ironwork was commisioned out. cheers Peter Edited April 3, 2013 by Gravy Train Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, here is the warehouse, it contains 13 rotating cranes inside and also the laoding platforms. alltho probably ,this model was partiularly difficult to put together, we had 3 black & white photos and nothing of the rear side, the measurments were taken from an ordnace survey map. in 4mm scale. cheers Peter Edited February 1, 2020 by Gravy Train 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain C Robinson Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 This must have been a very challenging build. I am very impressed by the roofs- superb work. The wall details and colour is also really well done, as is the painted signage. Top Job cheers, Iain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
