Michael Delamar Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Who did the weathering on that roof? Nice shot I wouldnt do my weathering like that if that was my model, the clean bits on the edge of the roof would annoy me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Isn't the title of this thread "Models can look just like the real thing" and not "The real thing can look just like Models" as it seams to have turned into? It started out ok and very interesting but like so many other threads in the Prototype section has gone down hill as it has gone more and more off topic. Come on guys Lets get back on thread. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out ok and very interesting but like so many other threads in the Prototype section has gone down hill as it has gone more and more off topic. Come on guys Lets get back on thread. Pete, I see what you mean - but the topic description has gone (they've disappeared from all topics) I believe this thread was originally titled: "Models can look just like the real thing - but can the real thing look like a model?" The topic descriptions - or 'sub' headings - were especially useful in the layout section to convey the latest developments in a thread. Perhaps they will return?

coachmann Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was just about to question the weard title but Pete has already done it a few hours ago. My reason for looking in on this thread is I thought I might have innadvertently started a similar thread, however, my mind rests easy now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It Would be nice to hear from Western Sunset what the thread was meant to be about as he created it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2013 western sunset's opening post said: Was in North Devon last week when I took this snap of a certain village (which gave its name to a Bulleid pacific). To me it looks more like a perfect model rather than the real thing; almost like a model village.Can the real thing be too perfect and appear model-like? if the topic has drifted, it's only as far as any prototype pic looking like a model - they don't have to look too perfect, just any combination of view/subject/lighting etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) In any translation, dialect or slang, "Models can look like the real thing" means just that. But there ain't any models on this thread! Crikey, I thought I had dyslexia! It should read "The real thing can look like a model" before these 7 pages of images make sense K.O.

RMweb Premium keefer Posted January 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) the setting is realistic enough, but the deltic is obviously straight out-of-the-box. the BSK just looks grubby and they didn't have the correct sheet for the number, so have used smaller ones they had instead. and i don't think they've finished the layout yet as the backscene goes right across the tracks just before the curve! http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-diesels/8364519516/in/photostream/ Edited January 10, 2013 by keefer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out ok and very interesting but like so many other threads in the Prototype section has gone down hill as it has gone more and more off topic. Come on guys Lets get back on thread. I fail to see how this has gone "off topic" at all....... IMHO, it has been, and continues to be an interesting one Like so many other topics, when you discuss matters around a subject, you get different ideas and opinions.... You stick to a narrower remit, you get less...... so keep posting folks 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted January 15, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Can the real thing look like a model? Or models like the real thing? Take your own angle on these! Those two have to be Kato trains dont they? And who says all model figures cant look the same?

Bellcrank Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is a news article I spotted where a Train cleaner in Sweden stole a train and landed up in someones appartment when they ran out of track ! There are about six pictures in all but the one below looks really strange. I'm not sure what's going on in the background, maybe a coastline with water? but the picture makes it look like a painted backdrop, you can even see what looks like the top of the board, and perhaps some of the print peeling away on the right. http://news.uk.msn.com/swedish-train-crash-in-pictures#image=4 Tim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc smith Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I took this photo a couple of years back, just after Christmas, on the Dean Forest RailwayJust looking through my photos for something else, and it struck me how the 08and the whole scene appears rather "model like" - perhaps even "toy-like"? The 08 is very clean, and the vehicles around are also clean, and brightly coloured...add to that the fact that the snow has not yet turned to slush, and yes, I think it does look almost toy-like.... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one of the Xmas snow scenes that always seemed to turn up in the December issue of magazines in the 70s with Triang stock and spray on snow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed. This is probably aided by the fact that there appears to be no snow on the branches of the trees in the background......
