Exelent photographs as usual, and a nice looking loco. Brain picking again what material did you use for the platforms great paving stone effect?

ta brain. its upvc sofit bord for the platforms, from a trade surpllyer ..scrap lenghts that are scratched.(.sofit bords are the white plastic faceira bords around your roof that the gutters hang on to.. ) got the 5mt lenghts for £10 each.. loves superglue,and takes paint, after you rought up the surfaces..the walls subways ect are made from sign makers "foambord" scrap off cuts.. its loverly stuff to work with cuts easys, loves superglue, scores easy likes paint, ect

Those hills in the background of one of the shots look so realistic

Wonder why the Catenary Wire has clothes pegs on though?

dito

thanks paul, they are resin kits from pendelbury model buildings.. ive stuch them to gether in runs of 3.. and added outhouses at the backs, back yard walls, and made the gates, gate posts, washing line posts ect, also made the pavements.. so each set of 3 buildings sits in its own pavememnt which is cut so the buildingings sit "in" it.. addsa bit to the relisume i hope..

Thanks Mike! I think the setup makes a beatifull village. Funny:after reading your answer I Googled on the kits and first thing I found was.... http://www.lazygrangebay.co.uk/gallery/idoits-guilde.html
That looks familiair!

it dose paulus
started on afew winter prodjects ..some will be apaering in garden rail, some wont, some in thre g scale jurnal ect ..this is Fannys...Fish and chip shop..fannys fish is a local declacy
started with a blank sheet of faom bord, drew a rough(read very, very rought ) out line, a basic floor plan to give me a idea of sizes ect, were its need to fit in.. it will be part of a run of 3 buildings built on a curve.. fannys, dc,martins the vets,and arkrights,the iorn mongers..
so.. after faffing about, i hadthe basic idea.. drew it out, full sizes, and cut out of the foamn bord, pencil in the windows, doors ect..useing jacksons minuturews windows and doorsa, and a custoom made bvy me window for the shop.. pencil in the brick lines, scribe them in, glue to gether with suoper glue, ect..cheapo £ 1 prima to give it a base coat and used as a mo0rtor coat.. humbro enamels used for bricks..
so fdar..hush hush

I'm gonna give this a try once. I have those grey underfloor sheets that are looking simular to this shops ceiling.

Does the car primer not damage the board? Or is it acrylic?

no not at all paul, its a foam based sign makers bord, used as a cheap plastic 8-4 sheets from sign makers..im useing of cuts,scrap bits, it loves super glue.. it cuts like butter,3 passes with a stanly nife, and its cut.. it is drawable with a pencile.,..humbrule paints stick like..er paint..
its best is u reimforsce the corners, or like i do.. fit floors and walls to not only make it light up correctly ,but adds strength,, its will be part off a larger set of 3.. all at differnt hights ect ,sat in its own pavement..

Nice work.

I wish I could get this material here in France, Mike....
