Getting there slowly. I'm making a tree (see blog) to replace my crappy one. The problem is that my tailbone hurts like hell when I sit, so work + modelling are a pain in the ass... Let's hope they have nice comfy chairs in CHCH.

I did discover that Tanis just about fits in the hand luggage size restriction, which makes my life *much* easier.

A belated Merry Christmas to one and all!

a bit late, but the pic of the week is brilliant! Good to see something without a train in it

Arg - ballast turned white! Klear/moisture issue?

Beware the N gauge - in OO and up it's easy to see you should make a small layout. In N you can imagine an empire on a door all too easily...

Can't find my packet of fishplates...

Disaster (somewhat) repaired. KBO.

Ever have one of those jobs you put off for ages turn out to be really easy?

Exhibition day dawns, many bushes to plant...

Forgot how tricky internet-less modelling was

getting confused by pink and purple.

glazing bars are the Devil's work

Happy New Year to you too

Höllentalbahn has exactly the same street lamps as Whitemoor. Spooky.

I just moved a mountain!

Installed a culvert - one more thing off the list.

installing Sprat + Winkles on my MOAs.

Is making 4mm scale cow parsley a sign of madness?

It's just a jump to the left...

Just found a set of 'holy grail' images for my current project. Hurray for Google and new search terms.

Layout has scenery from end to end, and some (rubbish) trees!

Mig Jiminez makes me happy

My little orange clippers / (The ones for cutting track.) / Have vanished from the layout! / I hope I get them back.

Off to Valkenburg for some Smalspoor!

Putting together a set of prototype photos is disturbingly like creating a mood board. I feel like an interior designer.
