Earwicker Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 This week I've been building the benchwork and I'm more or less done. The pictures tell the story. I have two more things to do: install the lights, which comprise a couple of LED bar lights to be attached to the fascia; and the back scene board, which is made up of a couple of MDF sheet to be screwed and glued to the framework. Then I will paint this with primer ready for the painting of the back scene. I've decided on the track work. It's going to have a single line track running through a small sea side station (like Todoroki Station on the Gono line). So very minimalistic, but this is exactly what I want to achieve. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm going to Japan next year, and I know exactly what's going to happen once I've had some train rides there... I already fancy doing a model of the Hisatsu line. Anyway, this looks good to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earwicker Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 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. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted February 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2019 This is really coming together now. It'll look great when completed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwicker Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 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. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earwicker Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted April 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2019 This is developing really well. It's going to be an excellent layout when completed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted April 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2019 Looks lovely, but with all that sand and the rocks, it feels that a little wooden rake should also be required Looking forward to seeing further developments on this layout.

NScaleNotes Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 This looks awesome, great use of the space. Keep up the good work. P.S. That looks like a very nice looking model of a Fulcrum in the background of one of your hobby room pictures too. I've always wanted to have a go at building one of those.
