    It's probably more to do with it being the new toy on the block :whatever: :avatar:

    The models are big, but not too surprisingly big, however its the track that has really struck me, I suppose the same will happen when I get round to figures.

    ...

    Ian thanks, this one will be a big un, especially as I'm doing it in 1 block - glutton for punnishment or what :giggle:

    Used race radio controlled cars with the young lad, once he learned to control the red mist I stood no chance and was relegated to mechanic - less embarassing, although he did become scottish junior champion, so the mechanicing mustn't have been too bad.

    Live steam near card board mmmmmm maybe pass on that one :avatar:

    Ahead of you there mate, he already is making Low Relief Structures for the backscene, and appears to be enjoying himself to the point where he reckons he can swan off and make some for himself - we'll soon sort that out :giggle:

    That's all I need, an audit on the railway, on top of all the others at work as well :eek:

    Don't know if this will answer a question you were asking of Ianvolvo, re-wrapping of scalscene paper.

    For these buildings I glued the brick paper over the front side, then cut the top and bottom edges of each window, then down the middle

    [​IMG]

    The flaps are then wrapped round - scoring the fold line can help produce a sharper corner.

    Thanks Paul,

    Very helpfull......I`ve been having a look at it this afternoon. It will have to be approached in a slightly different way to a normal Scalescenes build, due to the fact that the Metcalfe kits modules may have four bends in the one module. Therefore you can`t lay Scalescenes paper over the whole flat module and then bend it because the bend actaully increases the length of the paper required.

    So I think I `ve come up with a way to do it by dividing the modules up into smaller sections. I`ve dry fitted some paper and it really makes a difference. It`s the way to go but the build will take a lot longer than normal. Should be worth it for something a bit more GWR like.

    Sorry for the hijack.

    They're coming along quite nicely. :thumbs:

    While you at it, could I have a couple of 150' long industrial warehouses in HO scale for Jack's layout ?? I'll give you the heads up, one needs to be a furniture factory....

    Cheers, Gary.

    Well a day off today, to take SWMBO for a hospital appointment - brownie points :lol:

    Made a start on the sills and lintels

    Top left is the sill / lintel as cut out, I then go around the edge with a Spectrum Noir BG2 alcohol marker pen, these leech into the paper so look like staining on the stone.

    [​IMG]

    These are then stuck onto the front.

    [​IMG]

    And folded over .... only 20 on this side

    [​IMG]

    Time to get the boss up - letting her lie in as its a fasting test.
