Very nice as per usual. It's really easy to get the typography wrong, but you've got it spot on.  8)

Well he is doing his own signs from now on :D lol :D lol

I always think the signage looks too bland when I draw it up from what I must admit are very definitive briefs, if you ignore the fact you have to reply requesting dimensions umpteen times, but then they always look just right on the builds.

Now he has shown he can do them himself he can do the endless searches for specific Victorian fonts too ;D

Gentlemen, thank you very much.  :)  I'll have better pics up tomorrow.

Nooooo! You wouldn't leave me in the lawless wilderness of sign making would you? (bottom lip wobbles). Your signs make my builds. I know I'm a pain in the arse sometimes but it's worth it   ;D

How does the Skytrex kit scale up with your own builds?


Good question. As it's O scale it's a little bit larger, but as stations had larger than normal doors and windows I'll get away with it with this kit  ;).  I'll take a pic of a comparison for you tomorrow.

Enough of this teaching malarkey.
Let the little blighters get on with it while you sit at your desk at the front of the class building more goodness for us to drool over.
 

 lol

You'll be surprised how good my class is getting at building stuff!

Thanks again gents.   :)

I am worried that Thunderchicken's class looks like this:



Only with bits of balsa and jugs of PVA glue instead of oars.

Add a bit of backchat and hormones and you're not far off it!
