    No major downtime for RMweb for ages, it seems. We must be well over the record.

      Oh crumbs! Anyway, who needs to get out when you've got the web. The real world is dangerous you know!

    3. Metr0Land

      Metr0Land

      You sure it's not 1 factory broken into 160 pieces?

    4. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      Actually I was looking for a lineside industry. But biscuit factories are huge!

      Could be great fun to see our effort to achieve a nice painted .....

      You tube has a lot of nice instructive movies ...

      Another option would be to have live webcams filming the layouts, like those on some stations.

  15. Mikkel

    One of those days when RMweb produces one amazing layout post after the other.

      A model horse, gentlemen. A Slaters kit with a horse in two parts. Now left with just one half. A low relief horse maybe?

      Modellers from around the world sharing ideas? Bah!

    4. Mikkel

      Mikkel

      Agreed. It all sounds very unpleasant and stressful!

  18. Mikkel

    All this business with wives and off-spring and what not is very time consuming. Whoever came up with that silly idea? Gets in the way of modelling, it does.

    New approach to model trees? http://www.the3doodler.com/

      Interesting!!!!

    2. TomE

      Nice find Mikkel, could be very useful for trees indeed! Much quicker than twisting wire anyway!

      Yes it can be very nice. Although here it is not a concert but Chaos :-)

    Staring at railway photos from the 1900s and wishing I could enter them. Just for a while though, until dinner time ;-)

      That would be fascinating.To catch the train to Penzance would be wonderful.

    4. Mikkel

      Yep. But I'd get off at every station so it would take a while :-)

      It's alright dear, I'm not breathing heavy around your pretty little neck - just giving you some weathering...

    There's an even little man inside spray cans. He times it so they run out in the middle of a paintjob.

      He's under orders from the Democratic Union of Paintworkers: he'd love to keep painting but the brethren say no.

      It may not be his fault, poor chap. Someone may have stolen his painting mojo...
