Jim, brilliant work! I particularly like the correct longer white lines on the approach to the junction to indicate a hazard. It is a pet hate of mine when one looks at a model railway layout where the builder has painted random white lines on the roads without any regard to their purpose. Terry |

Hi Sorry I haven't responded sooner - thanks to all for your comments. I think there have been some very valid remarks, and there is no right or wrong, all materials have their place and use. I would like to address one issue regarding paper / card modelling - it really does depend a lot on 2 issues as fas as I can tell.
If my skill at cutting card doesn't improve soon - I will be going back to plastic kits!  Dave PS - Terry - awesome pictures - Sued paint? Is that in the same isle as Tartan Paint and the spare bubbles for spirit levels?  ____________________ If it aint broke - I did it. If it is broke, then.... |

Hi all, At the local Model Railway exhibition, I saw several card kit built buildings, square on they look good, but viewed from oblique they tended to look too flat - I will admit they looked as if they were straight out of the packet and no additional detailing. But being very impressed with John Wiffens Scalescene models, I put my money where my mouth is and downloaded his free kit - well impressed.As an experiment, I printed the Stone Dock Edge retaining walls onto textured water colour paper, square on still looked good, oblique viewing now has the flatness broken up, couple it with Doug's technique of pressing in a blunt ruler to highlight random stones and I'm on to a winner. Just have 16 feet of retaining wall to build now.  Paul ____________________ Victoria Road |
