Possible use on YMR if book review published

Tell me, are these of interest to the N gauger? They are produced in 1/150th scale in an architectural book I have permission to review for the modelling press, and to suggest it's use for making up backscenes in an article.

The book covers all of Britain, examples of all construction from turf huts to modern, town and country. Is the odd 1/100th going to be very important?

Doug

Well,I'm interested!!
  Some lovely images.I would imagine you could not only use them on flat back-scenes,but half relief too!
:hmm
Cheers,John.B.:thumbs

You've seen N gauge couplings haven't you? Anyone who puts up with them isn't going to be fussy about the difference between 1:148 and 1:150

I'm interested too particularly as the size is just about right.

Ken

I have just tried resizing them for 4mm and because they are good quality images they enlarge to size easily.

I like the look of these, Doug.

As Bob has successfully re-sized them, how can we get more / all of the images available in the book. Is the book on sale to the public and if so how much and where??

Hi, Jeff, I'll come back to you soon, yes it is on sale but I've loaned it to a chum for a few days, I'll get it back this weekend. Its a reprint of an earlier version.


Doug

Hi Doug

I wouldn't use then personally but I am interested in the book itself.  Do you have details?

Cheers

Jim

Yup, all details when I get it back from my chum whom I see on Sunday, it's called 'The Outside of your House…' or something like that!


Doug

I've just enlarged them successfully to 1/22.5. Ideal for photo backgrounds!  cheers Doug!

Hullo, Jeff and everyone else,

Sorry for the delay, 'overtaken by events' fits the situation perfectly.

I'll shortly be doing a review for one of the railway monthlies but you'll see it here first, together with a few piccies as I have secured copyright permissions for such.

Any requests for a particular type of building?

Doug

I'd thought of using something like this to make up some "Metcalfe style" low relief terraced houses in stone, along with one or two commercial permises. The thought is that using these interspersed with some Metcalf ones would add some variating.

So - 2 storey stone terraces (with no bay windows) and with slate rooves would be helpful.

Cheers Doug. :thumbs
