Railfans at the ready tracks.

Thanks for stopping by for a look.

Adam West and family in garden.

Who said that a mini-scene had to have figures?

Workers on the dock at Acme Chemical clearing up the last delivery.

It's been a while since I posted anything. Good to see everyone is still active with their projects. Here is a creek scene from The Sonoma Mountain Railroad (HO Layout). The July issue of MR included another photo from the layout.

Here is my experiment with white water, just above the blue pool:

SCENE OR NOT TO BE SCENE
I have a few scenes on the layout that cannot be seen if there is a boxcar unloading/loading at that industry.

Awesome modelling

 

[NorthBrit]

Excellent pictures, Jaz.

One minor thing (if you don't mind me saying). The wheels need dulling down and dirtying.

Use a mix of brown powders for the sides of the wheels - I use some of my wifes old make-up powders. They take the shine off. As for mud in the tread of the tires? A trick my son used on his quarry layout, run the model through a thin layer of (real) thick mud. Before it dries place the vehicle in situ - muddy wheels.

The model originally sat by a puddle and they were meant to be wet, but i think the idea you mention with the mud is spot on and I will try it I have used mud in the past I tried real mud on this postal van and was pleased with the result.
As for women’s make up yep I do that a lot plus I like weathering powders

For reference not used on the postal van

although I think I’ll try it on a tractor first, thanks for the tips

I once had a brilliant reference picture of this

Tractors

the twins are usually racing around somewhere

Great looking scenes, Jaz.

Not nitpicking, Jaz. Just having fun.
What's the lad sitting on the flatbed for? He should be working.

I did not know TNT could keep their vehicles so clean in Shrewsbury (DN reg). It is seven years older than the grubby Royal Mail van. (TNT51 reg to RM 08 reg)

Keep the pictures coming. I like them.

I like nitpicking it ups my game.

These abandoned vehicles should have either no tyres….eek…no wheels… massive eek ..or at least flat tyres…I cannot bring myself to damage the vehicles, although a hot knife on a trailer wheel

no no what did I do…
