  1. Dave, who makes that small hut in the photo? Cheers. Steve.
  2. Ian that's a fantastic photo. I'd like to see that modelled, I love the lorry in the background as well. Steve.
  3. I've been running some stock and I think the van body is too big for the space as some long wheelbase stuff gets too close. I want the area to look believable so I might use a small hut or even just a load of weeds, sleepers and general junk. I like the grounded van so I'll find somewhere to put it. I wonder what would really appear in a space in a yard of that size. Steve.
  4. Wow, that will be some building Adrian, looking forward to seeing it develop. Steve.
  5. Think I might go with he grounded van body as some sort of store. One question I have is should I cut the solebar and buffer beams off or just dump the whole lot on the ground? I've been looking for some pics to inspire me but I cant find any decent ones.

    Cold!

    Fantastic modelling KNP. Can I ask what glue you use for your static grass and how to build up the layers, it looks great. Steve.
  7. Normal service has been resumed! Andy You're definitely on the mend now, glad to hear it. Take care. Steve.
  8. Thanks for the 'how to' with the backscene, they definitely look better. About the Sentinel, how does it run on DC? I could be wrong but as I understand a better decoder wont cure any running problems that were there before fitting. Steve.
  9. great pics Dave, really like the class 45 threading it's way out of Newcastle. J3719 reminds me of the opening credits of the Likely Lads. Happy days! Steve.
  10. As promised a few pics of the show. Shelvington Treeloar Sidings Rannoch ​Fisherton Sarum Bridge at Remagen And my fave, Arun Quay Got to mention the great show guide as well, I think there was a track plan for every layout. Also had a good senic demo by Roy Hickman, I made a tree! and had a go at the Flockit grass applicator courtesy of Maggie Gravett. All in all had a great day. Steve
  11. Been adding a few more weeds and a tiny bit of static grass. I must leave that alone now and get on with the next bit! Steve.
  12. Enjoy the book Andy, let us know what you think of it Brian Blessed is great, his book is on my 'to read' list! Steve
  13. Great stuff Kevo, shame about the sentinel, I think that would look great in your yard. Steve.
  14. Weathering powders are a good way to add a bit of variation but I'd always build the effects up slowly adding a small bit at a time. It's a lot easier to add a bit more than to try and take off too much. Looks good Jerry. Steve.
  15. Glad to hear you're home Andy. Hope you feel ok and you're taking it easy. Steve.
  16. Wow! Stunning little layout, looks so much bigger in the photos. I love the weathering on the blue class 37, how did you acheive that? The dirt on the nose top looks just like how I remember them. Steve.
  17. Does the screwfix stuff dry clear Pete? Steve.
  18. I was looking at the screwfix stuff. I also tried a £1 bottle from Wilkos and to be honest that's rubbish. Think I'm off to screwfix this morning. Steve.
  19. I need to get some more pva glue and was wondering is it worth buying in bulk. There's a few different types and I was wondering what other people use and where they get it? Steve.
  20. Enjoyed the show and was really impressed with your layout, the bridge looks great, fantastic model, well done :-) Steve
  21. Nightmare getting there this morning from London, ended up having to go to Luton Airport and get a bus to Stevenage. That was more than made up for by a fantastic show, great layouts and a good selection of traders and demos. The star of the show was, for me at least, Arun Quay. I thought it was just stunning although the forth rail bridge was really impressive to. Massive thank you and well done to everyone involved. I'll post a few pics when I get the chance. Steve.
