And some trainspotting!

Something I finished recently. Luftwaffe Phantom built from the 1/32 Revell kit and after market decals. This kit is just okay.

Just seen this for the first time. Great work, and nice to see how you have tackled the end plates. I built several Freemo US HO modules, and that was the part I was never satisfied with.

This modular set up is also more or less what I'm intending for my next layout, but in HO with Japanese branch line railcars.

Well, doesn't time fly. It's been over a year between updates. I didn't work on this for a while and then picked it up again recently. I've painted the buildings and will begin on the detail soon. I hope to have it finished over our southern summer. 

This one. I have the Western and some of the rolling stock in storage. Looking at the pictures in the 1980 catalogue still gives me a thrill. I spent so long as a kid staring at that layout.

And one more:

Wonderful pics. My wife and I have been three times now, and still want to get back soon. These pictures don't help!

Looking good. I see they've added a tint to the realistic water too, are there several colours of tint?

They do have tints, but I tinted this myself with acrylic paint. I think the product has improved as I remember that it used to be cloudy as it dried, but this was clear during drying.

Still chipping away at this.

More work on  the landscape.

Just in case anyone is still looking. 

Fixed!

More scenic work: 

Very nice. That looks like a pretty scenic spot.

Cheers guys. Latest update below.

Jumping forward, and it's ready for some colour.

Finally doing what feels like actual modelling. These are the tunnel portals I bought in Osaka Yodabashi. Airbrushed with several brown/orange shades of acrylic in patches and then given a wash with Tamiya enamel X-57 buff.

Scenic shell finished. The glad wrap in the tunnel portal is to stop the sculptamold sticking so I can get a nice flush location for the portals. Next up is surfacing the road and platform and carving the rocks on the hills and sea front. It's a bit hard to photograph at this stage because of all the white.

I've been putting in the hours on this. Hopefully you can see what I'm doing from the pictures without any commentary. It's almost ready for some plaster. On the computer are videos from our trip in 2017.
