Castle Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi Jaz, Black is my signature colour - it's all black. The whole wardrobe. The lot! I took a leaf out of Albert Einstein's book - my decisions about what I wear in the morning is nice and easy. Check out the 2012 RMWEB visit to Pendon and Didcot thread and there is a picture of me doing my tour guide bit. If I wore ANY colour other than black at Didcot I think half the staff would faint. Not good when driving a loco so I avoid it! Some say my wardrobe is boring and predictable - I like to think of it as being dependable... All the best, Castle 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ah ok the picture was black and white and I thought the colours were brown....I'll change them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 rmweb1290castle13 rmweb1291castle14 I have not done flat black, but perhaps I shouldI can still see the silver on the hat, though only one shows on the picture. I darkened the face...but I can still see it. In the picture not so much. I'll try it out on the layout tomorrow and we'll see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi Jaz, If it wasn't absolutely perfect before - it is now! Brilliant - just brilliant! Why isn't there a 'really like' button on RMWEB? All the best, Castle PS: I have a jacket not unlike that too! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 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. These dogs are not going to be easy. But I am now looking into this.So we'll see what I can manage, and if the dogs are naff I will look out for more suitable models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 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. Well I'll start with the man....because as mentioned that bit is easy. Just off to go find a suitable figure.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted March 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2014 Jaz, this is not meant as a funny comment, honestly, but have you considered taking commissions? Your painting skills are excellent. Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Posted Today, 10:33 I had a brain storm overnite regarding the poodle.....flexi-bark can texture the smooth dog I had planned to use as a Doberman, and add the small pop pom on the tail. I can only do one side at a time and wait for it to dry (not a fast process) but here is a taster.. the original smooth dog on the right p174 and the dog being textured, as this poodle (what's his/her name?) rmweb1291britfarmer1 Your dog has no idea how lucky it is my Nan had the normal sizes champagne poodle, originally called Poodie, and some times when it came back from the parlour it looked seriously embarrassed.....so lucky in those days they did not paint their dogs as well!!! http://www.google.co...396258178627491 petsitusa.com 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Jaz, this is not meant as a funny comment, honestly, but have you considered taking commissions? Your painting skills are excellent. Al.

Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I just noticed one of our followers....The Magic Spanner .......has started a layout. It is N gauge, but has some exquisite use of materials. The look infers he has take some careful reference from real countryside. For anyone interested I have added the link http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/84032-some-where-in-the-north-west-highlands/&do=findComment&comment=1400068 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 rmweb1292britfarmer2 You can see I have added texture and fattened the lean belly while I was as it, the tail needs to thicken as it reaches the body too hen this coat is dry I will take one last look then colour it. The advantage with this model is the tail and the head are both good starting points. rmweb1293britfarmer3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have broadened the back slightly, and added some poodle fur on the top of the head and thickened the ears, and I remember the poodle feet don't get the longer hair so thickened the ankles slightly.I now plan to paint. the original rmweb1190langel models 11 and the model with flex-bark rmweb1294britfarmer4 rmweb1295britfarmer5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 rmweb1295britfarmer6 rmweb1296britfarmer7 rmweb1297britfarmer8 rmweb1299britfarmer9 Ic think the tail and the shape of the head need a little tweaking. But I got the dark nose, dark eyes, and the fronts of the ears are dark also. I am off to make dinner...anddistance myself from the model...I'll come back and look while I see if I have anything I can use to do the basset hound. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Looks awesome Jaz !!! You are very talented. Ozzy is the name of the Poodle and the Basset is called Watson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
model-trains Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Noch does a basset house...but it is HO Hi Jaz I would be cautious if you want 00. I got the Noch fishermen supposed to be 00 and measuring them the adults were about 3' 6" high in real money. PJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 What is it about German manufacturers that they always feel he need to include toilet humour somehow? Spoils a good set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have this horrible feeling that a Noch one will be far too small next to an 00 poodle. I think I will have a look at building one. I should also get the others out on the layout tomorrow. Today we knocked a poor conifer down that was interfering with our internet, and we tidied the loft for the BT man to get access...to improve the internet. Kal said and I quote....you'll be able to down load and upload pictures faster....... So tomorrow it's watson.....But tonite I plan to lounge on the sofa and just read on my iPad. At least if I can't make a good one there is an optional back up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Jc Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Does anyone on here happen to have a Bachmann 08 shunter fitted with a DCC decoder? If so which type of chip did you use and did you use the 8 pin socket or perform a hardwire install? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
