Iain C Robinson Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hej Hej, welcome Silky_Jack, as you see another friend is here Jukebox has his Stockrington link on his signature obviously, so there's two places you know to come and chat, between us we can still manage a good old bunfight. If you do decide to add a My Layout thread...hint....hint....we'll be there in a flash. No pressure, just seeing you to chat is great. Another Goathland addict We have some nice new friends, as well. People have been really friendly here. Besides the My Layouts consider checking out 'Anything you can do, I can do better, Robinson and Downes'....a truly inspiration thread, I do post there, a bit, not that I am a chatterbox..........much I follow a bundle of my layouts. here. Chatterbox?? just about took over the thread... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukebox Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Careful SJ - keep making insinuations like that, and Colonel Klink over there will put you in the cooler! Edited July 12, 2013 by jukebox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silky_jack Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ha ha ha.....they could try. Anyway...I don't seem to be able to start a "My Layout" thread. Any ideas why this might be? Maybe I've already been shunned here!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi SJ if you go into the forum layout topics, at the top right hand side under follow this forum, you should see a button start new topic. However, I know there are somethings you cannot do until you have made ...i think it was 50 posts. this maybe one of them. Regards Kal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silky_jack Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ah, maybe that is why then as it's greyed out at the moment saying I cannot start a new thread. Darn it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The one I could l not load yesterday left half weathered right half untouched sun behind. The lorry stops the resin building looking transparent effect of windows when you pull back a ways now there's another picture I can't download, I think it hates the last photo you put up. Tomorrow I'll have taken more and I'll upload it. The last is usually, you believe, the best, typical. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain C Robinson Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 very nicely done, and I'm liking the broken windows. cheers, Iain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed a/c Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Very nice, the sun effect is a nice touch. I thought at first you had lit the building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted July 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2013 Love the effect you've got on the windows, so simple, but so effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well as I said I studied Iain's, couldn't get close to his wonderful broken panes, thankfully I didn't feel so bad after he explained he makes his from scratch, I tried the flat black, but looking at pictures of the real thing they often come up different shades even catching the blue sky or green trees. I painted with a brush, If I was doing a load I would need a small square sponge like tool to get into the corners easily, and speed it all up. Then photograph them way way way way back, good thing our loft is long. The colouring of the bricks I looked up on Allan's as Iain doing his from scratch builds up a total colour, where as Allan colours brick paper etc. So I thought, hmmmm can I get away with just a black powder on this brown brick building. I did sneak in a little claire's cosmetics from halloween which gave 6 colours black mixed greys to white. But for a first attempt I don't think I have ruined a perfectly good bought building. (A good wash and T-cut had been waiting in the wings.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted July 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2013 But for a first attempt I don't think I have ruined a perfectly good bought building. (A good wash and T-cut had been waiting in the wings.) Absolutely not! It's transferred it from "train-set toy building" to a scenic structure that fits its surroundings and enhances the layout. You can't get better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A good wash and T-cut had been waiting in the wings.) I feel very honoured and flattered that you have studied my models (and someone else's, some Allan guy) and that it has helped you come to a methodology of your own which is very effective. I am sure that you would have got there without me (and that other guy...Allan somebody or other), I love the exuberance and enthusiasm you and your hubby bring to your modelling, it's an inspiration. You are doing your own thing and coming up with something very special. Thank you for making this old geezer feel very pleased! cheers Iain 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I was at my pc most of last night welcoming a new friend, and chatting to old ones, but I did do a little multi tasking Hornby yellow wagon 1708 next to it one with weathering on the wagon which was my first ever attempt with my airbrush, but I added the graffiti JAZ last night 1714 just the weathered and graffiti wagon 1704 as usual I can't get the last / best photo until more pictures are done. Annoying but then I do get two posts for one LOL. It wasn't up to the standard of the ones I tried with pencil, but then it is a fraction of the size.
