Before all this i must apologize for photo quality as the "shed of dreams " isn't great for taking pic's and its been raining for two days here,this coupled with the fact that all terrain according to the wife MUST be done in the shed after the "living room carpet/polystyrene cutting incident of 93."
household coving/cornice based on hardboard |
plastic card for the bridge |
filling up the gaps with polystyrene. |
blue foamboard added and details drawn on with a pencil to represent ironwork |
I did price up some real model track but its so expensive i brought a bag of Matchsticks and thin balsa and made my own.
undercoated with black |
Grey pumice sprinkled between the tracks with PVA |
Larger pumice added for ground work |
first coat of paint i used Decoart acrylic "cinnamon brown" |
Drybrushed with Dulux "Biscuit" |
concrete painted with GW Desert yellow and drybrushed with mid grey and then light grey.The roads painted with Americano "asphaltum" and drybrushed grey. |
Holes drill for trees. |
Soviet green for ironwork and a touch on concrete. |
Vallejio weathering powered "rust" and then drybrushed soviet green mixed with grey. |
Grass added 3 shades used all from GW |
Holes drilled again and bushes fitted. |
Grass added to middle of the tracks. |
all done.a few old train models and some half painted KV's for eye candy. |
Very nice Lee.
