Kal Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 It is amazing how much faster you can do things with a bit of encouragement and some feedback. For anyone thinking, stop and do it, post here first if you want to dip a toe, you will always get friendly responses. The only thing you will regret is not doing it earlier.

Kal Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 .....Bear in mind, things on Layout threads are a LOT more friendly than some of the more general threads. If people are being negative they are soon put straight , but it happens so rarely. Do not take my word for it , look for yourself, Layout threads are generally much more restrained.

jcredfer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Agreed what Kal said ....... You can use my layout thread as well if you like ...... there's plenty of space ...... ..... on the grounds I haven't done much and the Sandwich is rather small ..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted March 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) I don't think so we're a team.....LMAO. I have never read this book incidentally, so I hope I have not just dropped myself in hot soup!!!! Soup? Definitely not the right book................ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/310844009870?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&lpid=95&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=95&ff19=0 Quote: 'Hurt me!' she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over the workbench.

Jaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 when I said hot soup i should have said hot water....i don't know where the soup came from eiither.....I may have been hungry at the time...and contemplating food..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 We hit the model shop.....and they had wills....bonus. So I got more roofing SSMP203 Slates - so no issues with lack of roofing SSMP211 Plain tiles....represents lots of Goathland buildings being a red plastic..... I got some other Wills to play with. SSMP230 concrete blocks these are too big....but for some nice industrial buildings.... SSMP202 Dressed stonework....this one needs a ruler to check it out Sasquatch was right and I got more....... SSMP200 coarse stone and some SSMP229 sheet and batten boarding, caught my eye. Good for shed roves and churches. There was NO slaters, and just one sheet of South Eastern Finecast 4mm stone blocks. So I thought....oh dear.....that's going to annoy someone......but bought it anyway. But I think I may just carry on scribing as I'm pretty convinced I can make this work. 4 sheets for £3.30. 11 packs £33.00 this should set me up I have yet to cut a single window hole and fit one.......this will need to be addressed. Question is finish doing the stone? Or cut window and check I can fit the window?....... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Wills dressed stonework rmweb1087willskit44 close up rmweb1088willskit45 This is very close, although I would have to go back to a horizontal sheet. Lets compare the two sheets I might use 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have just hit a brick wall......it doesn't matter.....how I do it. The pavement slab or the new dressed stone, when I put them against the stone from the kit it is bigger.....and needs to one smaller by preferably a factor of two. As in the main building should have the bigger stone, and the bigger stone should be about 9 layers to a window.Which mean the extension should be 18 layers give ou take to the same window. I can get the look, I can't get the scale. I'm going to check this again later and see if I can resolve it. I still have the 4mmSouthern Eastern Finecast to look at but thats for the main building, At this rate to get the look I may have to hand scribe at least one finish, if not both.

Kal Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Well ... I decided that I would go to Yodels depot to get my blooming parcel. Having arranged to do so, they delivered it before I got there!!!! Go figure! So on opening it, as expected it was broken. Fortunately looks easy to repair. Now the proud owner of a Class 40 Mauritania, sounds ok too, though I have heard better. Picked up a lighting board for a class 20 with head codes today. I was going to make one from scratch, but for 17 quid, I thought it will save some time. Edited March 14, 2014 by Kal 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) David you have pointed out this quality site before, I had forgotten it and will check. Thanks for popping it up. edit=being real stone, and needing mortaring it it would be realistic but the cost is quite high 5.50 for 25sq inches is only 5x5in, that is going to clock up the cash quite quickly. It is gorgeous stuff tho, 2nd edit=The stone is like minimum 10mm 1cm per stone and 2-3 mm in depth, and appears to be used mostly by the dolls house community.

RMweb Gold lezz01 Posted March 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi guys Thanks for the encouragment. I shall just tease you all with one of the projects that has stopped progress on the layout. Its my test track for running in prior to chipping. I built it from a control panel from a previous layout. It has both DC and DCC control and the DCC is also switchable between progam and main track. Not too bad eh?

Jaz Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ok rather than fretting over which wall effect I am going to use...I am going to work out what size it actually needs to be. Now I need minimum control factors...... The scale 4mm to the foot, The door is the correct ration, and I have adjusted the windows to a fairly close facsimile, their size is now in relation to the door (you have to add the opening above the door) So firstly need their relationship, to each other if the windows compared to the doors don't work everything will look wrong. One thing I do need is the stone surround of the windows is a factor (so I need to bear that in mind) But for the second I put the picture up on my iPad and use a multi scale ruler to measure the house on the iPad then check the windows and scale them to the ones I have made. The relationship works out really well because I get a add 50% to the picture to match the windows and doors. (a nice easy sum) This soon gives me a broad idea. N.B. Sasquatch had checked out the extension and the picture with the building being filmed as a police station, and the bush is not in the picture....so we can see where the door should be.And part way through the drawing I realise I have to take the slope and the steps under the extension door into consideration. rmweb1089willskit45 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Ok just to warn you....the first person to put up an indecipherable gets a slapping Don't worry about the writing, I worked on several ideas.....so the numbers don't match.....if you mix and match. I know I know I should redraw it nicely.......yeah gonna waste time doing that!!! rmweb1090willskit46 The right hand side is just marginally wider and the drain pipe is a third across The roof will need to be worked AFTER the four walls are sorted, to work out the pitch. I still need to make the small window, probably from scratch. ...and in order to trial the Wills sheet cut I have to use Wills Sheet...one way or another. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It just occurred to me........I'm assuming...the edge around the windows are meant to be glued to the back of the wall, as with the door, which leads me to wonder if i overdid the windows sanding.... oooops......I may go read the ins ructions again...... rmweb1091willskit47 The door you notice is aligned to the top of the windows and not the bottom of the wall rmweb1092willskit48 So the height needs to align with the windows on the main house rmweb1093willskit49 like this rmweb1094willskit50 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
