Lola's end

Ed

Thanks, It doesnt look so overwhelming up close

A few three storey scalescenes buildings, some city scape, i wont have to paint a great deal of sky - probably about 15cm down from the top and some that will be covered

Thanks Pete

 

Hi All,

I have reinstalled the LED lights which are operating off an old PC power supply.

I have spent the day thinking about the scenery. I have attached a mockup I did in sketch up




To make sense of the drawing. The big block at the end of the layout maybe the scalescene's carpark upon the concrete bridge - There will be more supports on the model but I was going for the carpark above the tunnel entrances to the city circle at Central Station in Sydney. Essentially all I will need to do on the car park is are the level surfaces and the one side. The back wall I will put a mural or something approximating what is there on a picture I have of the car park. I think it is the cleveland st car park but I may be corrected. I'm not trying to recreate sydney central but I want to the vibe of an city terminus.

The little box off to the side is the signal box.

The street coming down the side, I was thinking of the just the fronts of the low relief main street building and the cinema, retail store buildings from Scalescenes. The really thin is intended to be the side of the cinema. I might need to make it larger as I only just realised that it is half relief. No Worries, I'll shuffle the buildings up the hill

I am still deciding what to do with the platform at the back - I was intending it to be a passenger/parcels platform. Just not sure how to finish the extension from the Scalescenes large station. I just use the platform side of the main building and the front of the parcel office wing. There will be individual platform rooves but no major station canopy - I may simulate a fake like Ian Futers did with Victoria Rd.

anyway just thinking

Gary,

Fantastic build.

Is that 3mm foam core?

Looking at the building, is that made of the side walls of the main building, the tower, and the walls of building B. With the awning covering the joins?

It will fit into the city scape nicely.

Thanks again

Cameron

 

Hi Gary

Thanks for that.

Ive been thinking abou this for a while.

What sort of glues do you use for specific parts

I use a glue stick for glueing print outs to card
I get into trouble when sticking down window frame wrap arounds etc . I think i need a fine applicator bottle for pva glue

Looking at the picture of the awning did you use pva, super glue or hotglue?

Im trying to find out what people use as there seems to be 101 ways to do it. Im looking for a more precise and less messy (from a glue perspective) construction method

Hi

Thanks Gary and Sol. Lots of building planned in the next 2 weeks.

Toto, my version was. The condition for using the demo version is that you dont use it commercially. I dont think that has changed.

There are lots of tutorials on youtube. You can do some great things with it. But like any software the difficult things take time to learn.

Hi Gary,

I have the mdf in the configuration i want. Just need to buy the paint.

I paused on the paint as i want to check the height of the bridge carpark.

I spent today chasing down card and prints. I have the bridge and carpark parts glued onto card. 2 A1 sheets with leftovers.about 3 A4 sheets leftover.

May just paint the lot to be done with it.

Ideas on securing mdf to transform the frame - liquid nails will be less intrusive and less need for filler.

Hi All
