@Jc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Jaz, Can I have an avatar please? Something agricultural related. I live on an arable farm and help out when I have time. so, over to you - surprise me. I thought agriculture would be much easier to depict than my current occupation - a student studying computer science - unless you can think of anything computer related - I couldn't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Well I already have two guys who are sitting on tractors.....perhaps I can work in an iPad, making the iPad or even a laptop would be easy...two plastic rectangles......if your anything like my son.....your not far from a laptop or an iPad Do you want dark hair or light hair? rmweb121shepherd3 considering your avatar....I think I have a kitty cat somewhere.....it could be on the tractor engine.....

@Jc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yep that sounds familiar - I spend far too much time on my laptop but so do most of the students on my course. I think the clue is in the name of the course. Can I have dark hair please? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am average build 6ft, brown hair, tshirt and jeans kinda of guy.......................... perhaps I could be walking my dogs? I have a standard Poodle and a Bassett hound. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Your easy .......I don't think I have seen a poodle though I suppose I could adapt one....is it black or champagne? (PVA and glue? is it the sculpture kind?) The basset hound might be harder.....Although cutting the legs short of a plastic one might be possible...it needs the right head.A man walking his dogs can be fitted in almost anywhere. If popped in long grass I don't even have to address the fact it no longer has any paws.....so sounds like a plan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Here are my little angels I think Noch or Woodland scenics do a Basset hound. Cutting down the legs on another dog is a good idea too> Be interesting to see what you some up with.

Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 People walking dogs in general is not too difficult......these dogs are certainly up for grabs img1190 I have two sets of these. rmweb180raf4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This dog was do to be my second dobermann, but can be painted as a number of other dogs. I can get another next time I see Langlemodels. The fox can also be painted as other dogs. rmweb1190langleymodels11 We have a number of cars. I have the Bachmann trainspotters..so kids in school uniform....which can be recoloured. I have golfers. After doing Ian Rush the footballer....another should not be difficult. if anyone ever played puck in a midsummers night dream...one of the morris dancers has an asses head.....

@Jc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Could you also model cats, for example Pastel, the 9 month old male kitten/cat in my display picture. I can't recall seeing a cat on AV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I believe I have 2, one a white metal sitting...I think their is a pre coloured plastic one. So yes a cat is in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 They would probable be far to small, although a white blob might be possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

@Jc Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 All this talk of animals - Does AV have a zoo or plans for one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well Langley models does do zoo animal giraffe ostriches llamas elephants cats all all sorts, but at present it is not something we plan. I think Thebritfarmer has plans for something along those lines. I have chickens, cows,pigs,horses, sheep, sheep dogs as I have a couple of farms. Foxes, birds, seagulls, blackbirds, herons,rabbits,badgers,a man with a falcon,a man with a dead pheasant, several fishermen.I have a pony donkeys. dog of various breeds, We never chased down the circus vehicles...which included giraffes and big cats etc.I am more interested in the everyday animals , and regular wildlife. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Firstly as promised the coping stones are 2' 6" x 2" and 4 inches deep. A detail of the coping stones showing the NER square edged ones and the BR rounded edge ones. Originally the platforms were edged with recovered stone sleeper blocks that had been split down. The retaining wall detail as requested, these are standard on the Grosmont section and also on the Esk Valley line as well, large stone blocks topped with a flatter capstone. Steps that lead up to the turbine house and load inspection area And as requested photos of the back of the tank house and the area where it meets the river. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Boris Fantastic , these are so useful. Not the sort of thing people usually take pictures of. Thank-you very much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Boris Thank you so much!!!!!!! I curved my stones by the slopes (something I have seen before) but will try to adjust them to being straight again. I've never seen the steps before for the turbine house. And I can add those in. I've made the top of my platform slightly thicker (but it was a conscious choice because I thick it might be too easy to break otherwise.) And the colours of the wooded slopes will be really useful. The last one gives a good view of the fence, used in conduction with the google maps view from the bridge. The bonus being you are taking pictures at the time I am representing it, i.e. spring. Otherwise full summer leaf will hide too much detail (though it could be good for hiding mistakes and fudging lack of knowledge LOL) My calculations had been really off I was considering 4ft long by 3 ft wide. Am so impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 As promised........ They are not finished....but well on their way....... First some DAS rmweb1254priestmischief1 One smaller ball for the yellow emoticon and one large with some cape reference for the High Priest of Mischief... Add some copper for the hands and light sabres rmweb1255priestmishcief2 Paint the yellow one white first so he gets a good strong yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) rmweb1256priestmischief3 with some pliers twist some copper to hold the sabre and push the copper for the sabre in the hole at the end...a little copydex to fix it. Push into DAS at hand height.Paint white again so sabre colours are shown off well. I notice as the High Priest bounces around you get a glimpse of another yellow emoticon so I have rounded his front to show this...the emoticon part will also be white before I add the yellow. rmweb1257priestmischief4 Edited March 28, 2014 by Jaz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I used Humnbrol 33 for the black...but to be honest it is more dark blue....I will finish it with Citadel Abaddon black which to me is a denser colour. It will need to dry first though. rmweb1258priestmischief5 Add some yellow. again due to handling before dry it is patchy later coats will sort this And colour the light sabres...... rmweb1259priestmischief6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) rmweb1260priestmischief7 And a figure to show the size I chose. Had they been full 4mm figure they would have been very bulky.....Hopefully they will look ok when out on the layout!!!! There need to be on Goathland Station as that is the link with their creator. Once dry, more paint added.....I will look for a spot to show them off....perhaps up on the footbridge.... rmweb1261priesrmischief8 Oh and if I can get figure that will do the job. I'll do a human version of the Darth Vader character against a yellow armoured opponent. They would fit in nicely with the filming activities. These are more like 'The Prisoner' LOL. which was filmed at Portmerion. I'm back off to the platforms. But the next one to be done will be the mad scientist.

The hair as it is is fine, except you could add a little grey. Rather than a kit bag how about a radiation monitor. What does that look like? Let's see if this works? Radiation monitor Box with handle in one hand, probe in the other. Paint the hands yellow or blue to show rubber gloves.
