 :o

Amazing work, James, those very different elements on the build (natural stone, brickwork, metalwork etc..) are all blending together seamlessly.
 :-* :-* :-*

Given the choice between green and maroon for the train and carriage, I would go for the green, as I think the maroon may blend into the reddish rock colourings that are predominant in your VSF scenery.

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous  :o

Between maroon and green, my vote goes for green as well (maybe with yellow details?). Seems to have been quite common in older Japanese trains. Or then off-white/creamy white with blue details?

Lovely work Jim :-* :-* :-*
British racing green for the train. Will contrast well with all the reds and browns about the table

Thanks chaps  :)

British Racing Green with yellow details it is then  :D

I even have a suitable spray that I can use... Now the question is whether I light it the same as Michi has done... ???

By the gods, what a beautiful table!  How are you doing the cliffs? Is that cork?

This is the kind of work I wish I had room to store, but I'll just have to survive with smaller pieces I can put in boxes. I do kind of wish I could go to England and fight over this with my Norwegians, though.

It's all cork bark for this type of rock. I manged to get a three foot log of the stuff years ago for 20 quid and it's been in its bag until now  8)

If you ever do come over drop us a line and I'm sure we can sort something out  :)

Well, I got the painting and planting done for the station mesa  :D

There's an old tree from work that got cut up but I'm going to have order some custom ones as I have none left. I've also used winter tufts for grass and I think it fits rather well.

Apologies if some of the pictures are a bit blurry but as some of you will know, I'm crap at taking pictures  lol










cheers

Looking bloody lovely, James, bloody lovely indeed.
The shade of that tree fits perfectly with the rest of the colour scheme.
