Darn it…I knew I should have put a 00 figure in there!:lol:

James Bond on a steam train.Whatever next.:hmm

Two great pics ! Maybe Alan or Bob could use them as a jigsaw for week 97…??

Cheers, Gary.

Here's another one with good Welsh Steam Coal ;-)

I had to do a double-take on those pictures Phil to work out whether they were real or of your layout.

Those are very atmospheric little scenes and the Photoshopping is brilliant.

 

Thanks Trevor, I guess Spratt & Winkle have a lot to answer for there :lol: I could have PS'd it out but I think i've gone far enough!

Just a quick movie, checking out the new 37 Class.

Love it, almost purring.

Very nice Phil - did you weather it yourself ?

Peter, it came weathered, but not much considering the work it's doing around the colliery area, so I blew over a coat of cream and then one of matt black, some black gloss was added discreetly to give an oily look. It's still not finish though.

This really is starting to become disheartening Phil.

I'm seriously considering taking up knitting.:thud

This pic of the goods shed is one for the 'Cameos' page. The fence in the foreground looks great, actually, everything looks great !

Cheers, Gary.

I agree Gary.

It's a remarkable little cameo.  Everything is "as it should be" and your eye just wanders over the scene picking up the bits of detail that, seeing them here,  we all know should be there, but most of us would have missed out.  That's the difference between an "average" modeller and a good one ………..:roll::roll::roll:  It's the difference between a "model" and a miniature reproduction of the real thing. :thumbs:thumbs

Thanks all, I think this scene works quite well, it was enhanced in PS by lightening the back scene, easily done with the marching ants technique, this gives focus to the main area. The car had too much shine to it, I could have given it a coat of satin or Matt varnish but it was easier to spray over the shinny parts with light green, again with PS.

It also appears to have had a new set of springs/shockers fitted recently - it's sitting good and high ……………;-)

Tell me about these ants Phil ……………:roll::roll:

Peter, check out Simons Photoplus tutorial.

Busy morning!

 

 

Great work Phil!  The first loco I improved (only because there was real smoke coming out of the chimney :shock:) was a Bachmann Pannier tank.  I followed Iain Rices' advice and, to my amazement, it ran sweet.  No flywheel though.
