RAY NORWOOD Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 This passed week I have been away in the caravan, but I was able to paint the turntable. Not a good photo. I have put gloss varnish down the centre to show water dropped from locomotives. I will be putting sprinkling ash down the centre. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY NORWOOD Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 AN UPDATE WITH BALLASTING. The ballast is ash I got from a club member. I ran it through a sieve to get all the lumps put the I mixed it with casamite a powder resin glue for wood, then spread over the track and then I used a flat brush to lay it flat. The dark parts waiting to dry before spraying with the airbrush mat black. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Update. Long time coming, I have air brushed the ballast with a blackboard black paint brought from Wilko's, and gave the track two light coats and a very light coat between the each road. I have also used ash around the deposal pit and I used PVA fifty fitty water and a drop of washing up liquid to fix down. Made a start on the bridge made of 3mm plywood, got to be covered with brick plasticard, the girders is not fixed just there to see what it looks like. I have also used insulation foam cut to shape and glued with PVA glue to secure in place, the retaining wall is of 3mm plywood, I will glue plasticard emboss brick on the front. Then covered with poli filler. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY NORWOOD Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Have been busy building the bridge that is going in front of the fiddle yard entrance. Made from 3mm plywood with slater's emboss brick round the outside. the girders is of Evergreen and railings is of Plastruct T section and Evergreen pods. The wooden planking is of 0.8mm plywood and socked in Ronseal wood dye ( Jacobean oak ) and glued into place. Just got to paint it know. The cardboard on the bottom is hold the distance of the two walls when I put the girders on, I will cut this off when finished.

RAY NORWOOD Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I had time after getting Yard Shunter ready for Exeter show this weekend, so I did some work on Feltham Road. I had finished painting the bridge the other day so I had time today and glued it in place, think it looks fantastic. I have put the static grass on the embankments. and glued the supporting wall in place. I made this with 3mm plywood and then glued slater's emboss brick, I used modelling clay for the coping stone on top,then painted the hole thing in light grey then cleaned the top to leave the paint in the grooves then dry brushed with different browns.

RAY NORWOOD Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Some up dates. Clumps of grass around the top end of the turntable. I put spots of PVA glue in random and used static grass. I did the same with the grass at the end of the coal two coal roads. the Wagon is a Cambrian kit this will be glued in place when finished with coal spilling out from the drop down door, which will be resting on the coal stage platform when done. The shed floor is built up with photo mount cardboard cut and glued down with impact contact glue and topped with Slater's emboss granite set plasticard also put with Impact contact glue. Painted with concrete grey then dry brushed with mate black. Edited July 15, 2016 by RAY NORWOOD 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
