    Always a joy to see update on your layout.

    Superb modelling, Andy. I'd love to see the layout in the flesh at sometime. Cheers

    Awesome!

    Vallejo make a great pale grey acrylic wash which I’ve found great for fading paint finishes.

    I'm running out of superlatives to describe this layout. Simply stunning will have to do for now! Cheers

    Current work in progress - 1/700 scale USS Independence CVL-22 First coat of paint to be applied to the seascape before adding some texture with acrylic gel. Detail painting, weathering, aircraft and crew to come next.

    That backscene has made a big difference!

    I recently completed this: Meng Models 1/700 USS Lexington. Built out of the box and finished with Lifecolor acrylics.

    Thanks for tip. I've not tried cotton wool yet to model spray but I'm going to give it a try. I have the book and it's very good.Cheers

    I have one of these in my stash waiting to be built when I have both time and space. How did you model the waves? Really nice build by the way! Cheers

    I recently replaced split gears on a second hand Farish Class 37. Rang BR Lines to order the parts, received from really useful advice on doing the replacement and the parts arrived in a couple of days. The job took just a few minutes and the old 37 is now back up and running. I'm afraid it's something we just have to deal with!

    Looks to me like Penrhyndeudraeth?

    Wow! Inspiring and intimidating!

    Superb modelling, Andy.

    Really nice weathering on those grain wagons. I converted to Lifecolor paints a few years ago. I use several sets for my armour models but I now use a number of their paints and pigments for weathering. Really good quality paints and pigments.

    Doesn't J1643 look an excellent contender for entry into a 'photos of the real railway that look like models' competition? I think it's the totally blank background that makes it :-)

    I built a small diorama for photographing models some time back in N and I too paved the platform with individual paving slabs! A bit time consuming but well worth it. It's also the only way to go if you want to depict uneven surfaces for those run-down, back street pavements. Really enjoying watching the layout develop. Cheers

      Fingers crossed puss turns up safely soon. One or two of ours have gone missing for a day or two, then turned up (when hungry) unharmed.

      Lost our big ginger tom for 8 days..locked in a garage three streets away. We leafleted the area and put same on lampposts to ask people to check their garages and huts and it paid off so worth thinking about.

      Cats will go in any open shed cellar etc and at

      this time of year these places are being opened for gardening and so on.

      Please consider doing this it is probably the most likely scenario and they can survive for a surprisingly long time so don't give up natter a week...

    have you tried warming the platform edges in hot water to introduce some pre-bend before fixing the layout? I've used this technique to take some of the stresses out of plastic sheet when making curved walls or corrugated iron roofs.

    Stunning and inspirational modelling, even if slightly intimidating

      One of the greatest characters in history and so modest about his acomplishments. In my opinion, the greatest Pilot. Ever.

      I never really admired people as heros when I was younger. But then I watched the programme about his life story. At forty seven years old. I now admired a man I would call a hero. And now a sad loss. R I P Mr Brown
