Recommended Posts

I just mention to Freebs on his thread. There is a wealth of great work out there. This magazine vote males me think. There are 3 votes. One is for layouts....but 2 are for blogs etc. Freebs, acg_mr, Westerhamstation, Sandside, to mention just a few names.....have modelling work well worthy of an article. And it is easy to do.

 

For anyone interested......

 

Look at a couple of magazine, check the similar articles. Read them a couple of times. Work out what YOU like about that article. Then pop up a powerpoint and forward to AndyY. 

If your scared there are plenty of guys on here who are in print, who might be willing to 'proof read' it for you.

You need, facts, products you used, prices ......and a little touch of humour. 

Would love to see some of your work there. Newbryford and AndyP are both 'in print'. Check out their work for ideas.

Nice set of GBRF locos!! :senile:  :locomotive:

Yes Kal...got some advice from Newbryford and renumbered some of them....he needs to finish the graffiti one when he has a chance as well.

a via from the roadway above....it needs a fence here....but a train spotter would be leaning over anyway.....

med_gallery_17883_2760_105846.jpgrmweb2416wall261

once I get this wall fished....I think some weathering is called for in this area....and some signals....once we know what we should go with....

Kal would like to build them....but you know me....I would happily buy them......

 

her's one desperate for some weathering

and the trainspotter must be MAD to lean to far over!!!!  :scared:

med_gallery_17883_2760_350483.jpgrmweb2417wall262

I wonder if I sidled up to Newbryford at a show if I could pop this one down and walk off with one of his nice remodelled ones.....

without anyone noticing.......LOL.....Could you imagine the look on his face :swoon: ............this would be my face LOL. :whistle:

actually he might be happy....he is always after new locos to  :butcher: ....... :jester:  :jester:  :jester:

 

set further back it does to look so plasticky

and you get a nice view of the high road

med_gallery_17883_2760_272909.jpgrmweb2418wall263

 

I added some ballast for these pictures...it will come back up when I do the 'concreting' which I had the equipment Jukebox is showing off on his thread....

I would be done double quick!!!!

leaning over resulted in this at a strange angle....I could have straightened it.....but the Graffiti wall is nicely displayed....

drunken seagull view perhaps???

this end of the platform needs to be matched to the recent work at the other end.

BRM is having a vote for the October entry......two people many of us know are in that shortlist for their layouts.....

I have voted already......

Both of them (you can only vote for one) could do with support....

 

http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/87624-brm-october-rmweb-edition-choose-your-content/

This is now hotting up.......and your vote could be very important......

 

A voting campaign (tongue in cheek of course) has broken out.....

Which bit of "Don't even think about it" is difficult to understand.............. :nono:  :nono:  :nono:
