Nice work James. That station is perfect 

[pocoloco]

Beautiful station (already) and a train to go with it! 

I take it that the train will have working headlights as well? 

[clanmac]

Ye gods that train and station are amazing! Brilliant stuff.

[Sixmilletoe]

Sweet as mate

[eilif]

Fabulous train!
Now I'm going back through the rest of this thread and being repeatedly impressed. Awesome work.

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks for the encouragement gents, keeps a chap going 

Regarding the bikes, thanks for the continued ideas but I think I'm sorted 

I take it that the train will have working headlights as well? 

That's the idea...

cheers

Ooh, that will look extra fancy! Next small hidden speakers with actual sounds from Japanese trains station?

No mate, I'm afraid not

No mate, I'm afraid not 

Because that way Little Jimmy gets to make the 'Chuff-Chuff' noises himself.

Don't we all, given the chance

Don't we all, given the chance 

Of course 

Weathered the train and might get to do the station later today. There's still a few little picture elements to go on (destination sign etc) and I'll probably have a look at the undercarriage at work this week.




cheers

Beautiful project, and one close to my heart! I notice that when you started this thread you mentioned putting these buildings on your catalogue. Did I miss the boat?

[Captain Blood]

Great weathering James - almost looks real 

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps 

I notice that when you started this thread you mentioned putting these buildings on your catalogue. Did I miss the boat?

No you didn't. That was the intention but it fell by the wayside and will unfortunately remain so for the foreseeable future.

I weathered the station as well today and had a play around with some figures to get a feel for it. The weathering might look a little over done (Japanese stations are very clean apart from the years ingrained grime from the trains themselves) but when the overhead lights are in it should look ok.

They haven't been edited or cropped or anything as I'm now weathering the neffs 





cheers

James
