      A mountain of what?

      Listening to the Shamen ?

      A mountain of Styrofoam.

    Turns out a Swann-Morton scalpel is ideal for scoring pork fat.

      I find that modelling tools are often far more efficient than kitchen tools.

      We think of the Swann_Morton scalpel as a modelling tool but the blokes that cut you open use then for that job!

      Yeah, it's strangely obvious when you think about it.

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

      We'll be expecting to see insects in there too Will. Preferably to a level of detail where we can distinguish the different species.

      This was all so much easier in Z gauge - "look, coloured scatter!"

      A case of Mad cow parsley disease?

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

      As you get older it gets worse. When you finally get to do the job,you find you've already done it.

      Be great to have a day job like that...and get well paid for it too ;-)

    wonders if it would be naff to put GOURANGA on my bridge...

      As the song goes 'Gouranga Gouranga yes I'll be happy when you've been arrested for defacing the bridge'. Half Man Half Biscuit.

      Possibly a bit, but just go for it, IMTS rules apply :-)

      Rats, did some 'research' (photo browsing) and I haven't seen any on bridges *over* rail lines. I guess the Hare Krishna only want motorists to be happy...

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

      I think you're right Will - it certainly helps focus a project.

      You mean an Interior desecrator?...but as an Architect, I would say that ;-)

    3. Will Vale

      Will Vale

      Ha! Raised by architects, I feel your pain...

  7. Will Vale

    Disaster (somewhat) repaired. KBO.

      Oh eck! Hope it comes together Will.

      Will post about it later. Short version: beware of heat.

    Exhibition day dawns, many bushes to plant...

      I'm on a coffee break from my prep. Why is it so hard to say "that'll do"?

      Good stuff Will - good luck and I look forward to the de-brief on your blog! Make sure someone gets some snaps!

    A belated Merry Christmas to one and all!

  10. Will Vale

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

  11. Will Vale

    Three coats of semi-gloss black on all the fascias and the pelmet parts, just ahead of the bad weather. Phew!

  12. Will Vale

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

  13. Will Vale

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

  14. Will Vale

    Can't find my packet of fishplates...

  15. Will Vale

    This week, I sincerely hope! Otherwise I'm booked at the wrong place + time.

  16. Will Vale

    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.

  17. Will Vale

    Happy New Year to you too :)

  18. Will Vale

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

  19. Will Vale

    Forgot how tricky internet-less modelling was

  20. Will Vale

    Setup at railex, plugged in and it worked! Not sure about reliability of couplings yet though...

  21. Will Vale

    thinks superglue is the Devil's work!

  22. Will Vale

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

  23. Will Vale

    installing Sprat + Winkles on my MOAs.

  24. Will Vale

    stripping paint :(

  25. Will Vale

    Off to Valkenburg for some Smalspoor!
