Interesting post on something most of us don’t think about. An observation though, will it cause any condensation whilst in storage mode if you get temperature changes?

Post bump. Hope to see some of you on Saturday.

And if everyone skips the ads and the sponsors plugs (and I agree they are annoying) we would lose the content that the adverts pay for.

Very much like that weathering.

I use a similar watercolour based painting system for weathering. Not the same method as Baz’s but as with his it does not affect any underlying finish and is 100% removable. Will be showing the technique at the Bridport show on 27th. My weathering results may not be as good as that done by many of the experts on here but it is the technique I am demonstrating to encourage people to have a go themselves.

I will be demonstrating weathering using watercolours. A good way to learn as it is completely removable if you don't like an attempt. Why not bring a piece of rolling stock and have a go? Link to a short YouTube video - .

Still working on the site and that page and the site menu will be updated later today.* About to do some modelling stuff outside whilst the sun is out ready for a demo slot at the Bridport show on the 27th. * now done.

I guess this thread is now worked out. If there are York queries for the upcoming 2025 Show please note the new thread for next year.

The website updating process for details of the who and what is expected for 2025 has begun. Very much the first draft layouts list for 2025 now live at - York Show Initial layouts list - 2025 Further updates will come over the next few months. Hoping to see you all again at Easter 2025.

Just viewed the C4 doc. Thank you @woodenhead and @fulton. I think I will be paying full price from a reputable seller, although the air-brush* isn't electrical it takes pressure so a risk of dodgy fittings I can avoid. TEMU app - nein danke. * I have a compressor.

I think SHOP is one of the factoring firms. IIRC I was puzzled by that a bit back on something I had bought and from memory it waS SHOP.

Is TEMU safe to use and how good is the stuff they sell? I ask as one of their current sign up offers looks tempting (saving about £60 on what they say is RRP) and is something I would use but is perhaps one of the if it looks too good to be true it probably isn’t genuine scenarios.

A bit more on the beta build today. Glad it is just a quick beta build as I have made some errors where the instruction notes have confused me. I suggest anyone building this looks at a lot of photos on line of the film set full size versions. What has confused me the most is the instruction image shows the Alley Wall piece on the left hand side looking from the front; however it isn't long enough to be on either side. Something to work on perhaps printing the side with the wall wrap section twice. Three more work in progress images including one showing the revised name. I used thinner than recommended card as this is the beta build, even with that I think it will need more stiffening pieces and corner brackets than in the original sheet. So far I like the kit but have noted areas where if I did decide to make this as a permanent layour building I would add extras or add pieces.

I see one of the regular autumn events at the NYMR, and one to appeal across the board rather than just existing enthusiasts, has been cancelled. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6p2e3gn4zlo#
