    It was a little hard to cover up part of the viaduct.
    Especially given the hours of work put into each single archway, but if I didn't plaster around and through it the look of being plonked onto the baseboard would have been so overwhelming it would have detracted from the scene considerably and I think been a big negative in the overall effect I am trying to give.

    Certainly once there are some bushes and scale figures and animals nearby it will change the look considerably.

    Coming together nicely Steve, this is the stage when you can sometimes think “is it going to look right” Once it's all flocked and blended into the existing landscape the scene will be transformed. :thumbup:
    Looking forward to seeing the trees and bushes added.

    Coming along nicely Steve. :thumbs:

    This is the bit I enjoy the most, the artistic license of scenery ! Keep up the good work.

    Cheers, Gary.

    Thanks Gary. Yes the Artistic Licence to recreate the world in miniature. I do enjoy it as well. I'm especially looking forward to creating a lovely little waterway. I'm going to attempt making a rowboat from scratch. I found inspiration in Hobart today. Hiding behind the IXL building.

    So for when you do put the goggles down Steve, I just read the whole thread and like what I see, very much in line with my own principles (modelling first, lighting second, trains third ;))
    The village looks very complete/expansive, I have the same belisha beacons, I luv the tyre tracks in the field (was already on my list of features to do).
    I have the same to do, weather rolling stock and vehicles, paint 6 million people, lamp the guards vans, etc, etc, except I am a few years behind you!

    Nice job on the viaduct:thumbup:

    {Guys, no one mention texture rollers!}

    It's been a year since I have posted on here, and year since I have done any work on the layout. Basically I have spent the past 12 months building 1/48 scale model aeroplanes for people with a few 1/24 ones for myself and I am currently building a 1/32 Hong Kong models Lancaster kit. I've been putting all of the tricks that I learnt from model railways into the models. You know tiny led lights, soldering 1mm brass rods, super detailing and weathering. If this were a model aeroplane forum I would post some photos but...….anyway I am going to get back into my train room as the weather warms up here in Sydney and do some track cleaning and get back to the task at hand of creating the grassy knoll. I promise it won't be a year between posts.

    Thanks Gloria. There is about 6 years in that layout. I was showing a friend yesterday and said it will never be finished, but I do need to get back in there and just 'play trains'

    Hi Steve,
    Thank you for your reply, It all takes time to build something which you can take great satisfaction in once completed, its on on going hobby and there is always something that needs adding which I know from my experience in my builds and what my partner has built for me. It's knowing that you can say I built that I that with dedication. In the long run Steve all worth the effort and enjoyment you get from our hobby. Keep up the good work.
    Regards,
    Gloria
