Feeling a bit aimless now that the ornamental stonework is finished (apart from sanding)! It's been an such an absorbing activity that I will have to find the motivation to crack on and finish the model. It's at this point of a project that I often go off and do something else and then feel guilty for neglecting it. I WILL finish it.
And after a bit of sanding and a coat of Halford's primer, it begins to look more respectable.
I have to confess to being diverted a little just recently. I have installed DCC. Hardly necessary on such a small and simple layout but huge fun. And look, all controlled by Hornby's Railmaster. Brilliant. Who needs to model?
I zoomed in for a larger image of the chapel in primer and I must say that it looks superb! Don't stop now Chas!
ReplyDeleteThank you Iain. You said in one of your blog posts that painting would make or break the model. I think it was with reference to your Clay Dries. I just hope I don't manage to bodge the thing now!!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on my phone last night and totally missed the primer shot - it looks fabulous just like that. An absolutely fantastic and painstaking bit of modelling. I hope I can match the quality with the Station building.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little scared by the DCC concept - I've wired up half my layout with a power bus, which is a bit overkill for analogue control, but hopefully will leave me little wiring to do when/if I eventually take the plunge for DCC (I think I'd need a huge cash injection as none of my locos are DCC ready and I'd want sound as well...)
Back to the modelling - keep going, keep going!
Thank you for the encouragement Lee. I hadn't realised how good DCC was at very slow speeds. I'm hooked I'm afraid.
