Jaz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well I meant you had a bona fide respectable little model railway layout, which you have diversified to include the Harry Potter element, kids!!! They never appreciate all the time, money, love they get until they have their own and even then sometimes only when they make it to rebellious teenagers. Still the 'sandwich' has both it's serious personna and it's child friendly personna. And considering your space restraints I think you have incorporated some interesting (if not downright hysterically funny) discussions along the way. How is the soil test going? Or must I go the other place for clarification.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Kal ordered in some wood and with the help of our younger son, and me running around finding the tools etc. got this far yesterday evening, by end of today it should be put together for our new workbench, I have to say though it looks so good it might get stained varnished and snaffled.......with a couple of bench seats I think alfresco dining....we have a bought picnic table and chairs....but it looks puny against this beast. One very good off set of building our layout, Kal has seriously improved his wood working skills Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Both, I would vote for the Al-fresco dining too ....... there is little enough chance in this country as it is ........ grab the opportunity ..... go on, fill yer boots ...... particularly as Kal is getting so good, it won't take more than a few minutes to knock up another for a workbench .... Kalborough...looks like a thief plans to break into a train!! I thought it was one of the workers .......... had been overdoing the Al-fresco dining and too much Wineing ........... Have a good weekend ............. J 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 A couple of people have pmed (being polite) that they could not work out what was picture and what was plasticard on Ye Olde White Horse, I have managed another elevation so hope this clarifies Also I reiterate, I have scribed the windows for quickness and painted, but in the fullness of time if happy i will either get etched or be cutting a lot of evergreen 1. railmatch concrete 2. humbrol white whilt railmatch wet 3. second layer of white this is making a nice texture. I'm considering matchesticks and copydex to temporarily hold it together for its initial 3d view once I have enough elevations. Any tried and tested ways would be appreciated, the point being I need to flat it again for final finishing and the window assembly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukebox Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi Jaz - like the video, and now a question: What camera did you film that with? It has a "stop motion/tilt and shift" look to it, the way elements come into focus. Quite unusual and very distinctive! Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
