Scenic Progress

The scenic texture starting to take shape. Anybody out there paint clouds? |
Following the methods developed by Pelle Soeeborg (From Mountrain to Desert, Done in a Day, etc.), I have started on the scenic texture. Generally Woodland Scenics and Treemendous products. Still lots to do as you can see. All photos on this page were taken with the iphone - on which the jury is still out.

The waterfall feature. I had never actually planned to use real water. A roof leak confirmed the sense of my original decision. |
NMRA BR Convention 2010
Brilliant. Great layouts and company and well worth the trip up north. This year it was sponsored by Model Junction model shop in Slough (Saturday afternoons there are like a NMRA subdivision meet) and they persuaded Pelle Soeeborg to do a number of clinics and a "Modelling with the Masters" workshop which yours truly was lucky enough to attend. It is like a clinic except that you work on your modelling skills under the guidance and direction of the expert, in this case Pelle. The man is unassuming, quiet, softly spoken and pure genius. So helpful. He also had some photographs of his new layout (sadly his old one is now ripped up). DVDs of his layout are still available from Model Junction as is the new Model Junction calendar (photography by good friend and fellow NMRA BR subdivision member, Lindsay Beare).

Yours truly working under the guidance of the genius that is Pelle Soeeborg. |
Shed
As I type this I am expecting the building contractor to order his materials for the new roof to the shed. I've put a page on the website showing details of the shed where I now work on the layout. Please note: it is not and never will be a summer house!

The shed - which is being completely re-roofed, just after the NMRA British region convention at Kegworth. |
