  1. I just started making the first stones, then worked out the promotional dimensions of the wall The doorway is 100mm, so approximating that to 8ft, gives (I think!) 1:12.5 scale. Which as you state, is Dolls House scale.
  2. I think waistcoats should be mandatory next year...
  3. Home down west again, thanks to Rob & team for the organising, catering and typical excellent quality of the exhibits. Thanks to all who stopped to chat at my demo table too.
  4. If the Canaries locals get their way, you'll be here next year.
  5. Car loaded & fuelled, just need to collect the UHU from the workshop on the way through Truro tomorrow morning. Looking forward to another superb Member's Day.
  6. Is it worth raising the general ground level around the trackwork, to help simulate the track has become fully embedded over time? Then you'd just need to fill between/over the sleepers, between the rails and along both sides.
  7. Well remembered, I'll put my box of 50 in the car now.
  8. Scale Model Scenery orders If anyone wants to order any SMS goodies and save on postage, I can bring these up on Sunday. Just oder with the Click & Collect option before Friday, and let them know I'll be collecting.
  9. I hope that applies to all genders who attend...
  10. I am debating whether or not to bring a non-chocolate cake on Sunday. As if.
  11. Actually it's of a house that no longer exists. It was alongside a horse tramway, in Derbyshire, and the client sent me as many old photos as he could find. Some were as the house was in use, and some in it's derelict state. When I asked him which version he wanted, he said both.
  12. The derelict house is having roof trusses fitted.
  13. So I buy a cake, bring it to the show, donate it to the cause, then buy a slice of it to eat? Sounds like a plan.
  14. If any of you are visiting this show today, please do stop and say hello - I'll be sat somewhere making buildings.
  15. Apologies - Castell 009 will not be appearing, but I will be there demonstrating making model buildings.
  16. My latest commission is now underway - Bow Station, Devon, in 1:76 scale.
  17. Considering this as a possible outfit for the day.
  18. With regards to stability, I only use a maximum height of a 5 plank wagon to be transferred, definitely not a box van.
  19. They are quite stable, at low speeds, and with the slight dip in the 'rail' for the std gauge wagon, they don't roll off either. I agree they should be much lower, but the 16.5mm wheel sets don't fit over the 9mm chassis ( that I used). Maybe inside framed NG wagons might be better?
