Job's Modelling 1,697 Posted November 28, 2011 I like the idea to create a nice scene on such a small space in a picture frame. Looks great. Job Link to comment
Dukedog 1,805 Posted November 28, 2011 Now that's different! I would never have thought of that. A great use of what would normally be a boring piece of plain MDF, I like that idea a lot. Cheers! Frank Link to comment
Jan 149 Posted November 28, 2011 You understand that you are NOT allowed to be called a modeller any more, right? This is art. You are an artist. Stunning... simply stunning. Link to comment
Andy Y 37,274 Posted November 28, 2011 Your work always makes me smile Mikkel! As Jan says art comes into the equation; you certainly see a different approach to do some things to anyone else I know. Sheer genius. Link to comment
eastwestdivide 13,432 Posted November 28, 2011 Excellent! And whose version of the Pink Panther was that? Link to comment
RMweb Gold Stubby47 41,398 Posted November 28, 2011 RMweb Gold Simple, but so, so effective ! Link to comment
RMweb Gold Barry Ten 23,073 Posted November 28, 2011 RMweb Gold OK, that is officially brilliant. Link to comment
RMweb Gold gwrrob 119,075 Posted November 28, 2011 RMweb Gold Unbelievable... But what are they saying to each other I wonder. Link to comment
aberdare 1,812 Posted November 28, 2011 Fantastic. I hope my Edwardian scene looks as good when I get round to it. Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted November 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Whoa, many thanks everyone! Particularly heartwarming as I left on some work travel after uploading this, so am a long way from home just now. But RMweb is everywhere :-) Yes, its simple stuff. A more elaborate picture frame could be chosen in order to help set the scene through its design or livery, but in this case I opted for something simple The concept could be expanded/adapted to provide controlled viewing of the wider layout through multiple picture frames. I'm considering this for the rear view of the depot. Not sure what the two are discussing. Could be a mising fire bucket. But more on that later :-) Link to comment
Jon020 1,495 Posted November 30, 2011 Mikkel.., amazing, enjoyable and educational again. Fantastic as ever! Sorry for not commenting earlier... I was on business aswell... but with no wireless!!!! Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted December 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Thanks Jon :-) But very disappointing that you are not permanently logged on to RMweb! Don't think you can escape from us! As Al Pacino says in The Godfather: Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in! :-) Link to comment
Buckjumper 1,201 Posted December 3, 2011 +1 what Jan said. It's so refreshing to see what could be such a mundane concept turned on it's head by thinking outside of the box - and almost literally at that - and then you get all that lovely atmospheric lighting in the 'after' shots...just fab. The Farthing Layouts - one of my favourite concepts and definitely my favourite blog. Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted December 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Thanks very much Buckjumper. Since these are micros, it is a bit embarassing that overall progress is so slow when compared to the epic undertakings that I greatly admire, such as your own Basilica Fields (no other comparison intended!). But as I think you'll agree, it's all very much about enjoying the process, isn't it. Link to comment
Ian Smith 6,704 Posted December 11, 2011 Mikkel, Absolutely brilliant! I really admire your work, the attention to detail is fantastic. Ian Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted December 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Many thanks Ian. I fear the attention to detail is a bit selective in my case - I still have much to learn on the technical aspects of stock and track etc. Just had another look at your baulk road, it does look superb. Am considering a siding or two laid in this way on the next Farthing layout so I might pester you on that at some point. But don't worry, it's still way out in the future :-) Link to comment
scanman 728 Posted December 19, 2011 Hi Mikkel - Back on line now & catching up with 'Farthing' - EXCELLENT! Regs Ian Link to comment
Chrislock 343 Posted December 20, 2011 Remarkable Mikkel. I loved the video. What else is there to say about the master of the cameo?! Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted December 21, 2011 RMweb Gold Thanks gents :-) It made for some light relief while waiting for various components to arrive from the UK. (I can't fathom the mail from Britain these days. Two parcels are sent the same day - one arrives within 5 days, the other takes 3 weeks?) Link to comment
RMweb Gold Mikkel 26,166 Posted April 10, 2013 RMweb Gold And whose version of the Pink Panther was that? I wasn't quite sure, but apparently the original one! So for copyright reasons I've had to replace the music. Not quite the same effect now, but a bit of jazz never hurt anyone. Link to comment
