Progress? Loads...
I've not posted in a while, so here are some hoppers on my photo plank I built a month or so ago...
I have added some stock to my collection, although there are only so many pictures of dutch liveried dogfish you can really show off when they look pretty much the same. I've been purchasing each one here and there as funds allow. Anyway, I've now added loads to the hoppers, and the rake is coming along - I am aiming for 8 dogfish and 4 seacows, so 5 and 2 is over 50% finished!
Loads are woodland scenics ballast, secured using Future Klear, dropped on from a tea spoon. Wagons are painted using the techniques mentioned in my other posts - mostly GW acrylics and Mig powders. The sleepers in the OCA kicking around in the background are from 2mm Society Easitrac, and look vastly superior to their Peco equivalents.
On the 'proper' layout front, furniture has been moved and track has been purchased for an inglenook based layout and the plan tested on top of my bookcases - just need to get the baseboard built for it that will fit in the same spot!
As for the photo plank, it does what its supposed to I guess, although I really should spray that pink foam showing at the edges another colour, and get round to adding a card backdrop. It might get some other additions too as and when required - I am to test all my techniques on it before committing any to its bigger brother...
