Thanks J, looking forward to it.
Big update as loads of stuff completed.
Herr V. R. Gut, Madame La Mal and Mr U. G. Lee:
(a Perry plastic and two Knuckleduster, all converted; I think I’ll redo Gut’s eyes idc)
Four specialists:
(Knuckleduster, Artizan conversion, Wargames Illustrated, WG Project Z conversion)
1.2m of railroad on 30x15 tiles and showing the telegraph poles at 20cm spacing (clearly, I have more 60x60 tiles to make,)
Close up of the track:
(I copied the partially covered sleepers from a Black Hills railroad; the Hornby OO track is split and widened to 25mm so using coverage avoided recreating the centre of every sleeper)
Train on the track with an Artizan mini for scale:
Elements for a campsite on the edge of town:
(Standard Renedra tents though I closed off the open flaps)
The railroad’s water tower:
(The lead hose rises and falls)
The cemetery:
The train with the station platform in place:
(The train has actually moved from the position in the images above; a section of groundwork lifts out to take the platform)
A selection of layout shots:
(I need to make the town tiles, which will not have the expanse of grass)
