So typically Little Muddle. "A large solitary cloud passes" whilst the porter with the barrow hardly moves a muscle. I guess that's what you get with high-speed film, although I doubt you could buy it at LM. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to see how both these pics would look without the BIG BLACK SHED, and maybe a small Provender Store, so that there isn't a large black object in the middle of the photo, I feel it may look calmer and less dominant. Just my two and a half penneth for a Thursday morning Kevin.😮 2 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted July 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2022 I like the clouds in the first photo - it looks like a summer storm is brewing. But the train means the second photo gets my vote. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be exceptionally handy (and are also very daunting!) I was just musing how good Kevin's modelling is. The cottages are low relief but not half relief, and so much more convincing for that. I just wish I could have cottages like that on my layout. The cottages of Scotstown (Banff) have less of the back garden about them, and more of the domestic dumping ground. Oh well, each atmospheric in their own way. 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to build those back gardens, I did plan something like that for LM but decided not to go down that route. However with the new cottages planned I might/will (*delete as appropriate) do this…. 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow rural yet urban at the same time with the track acting like a dividing line.

RMweb Premium Pteremy Posted July 21, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2022 But for Little Muddle? The Scotstown gardens must reflect the geographical constraints of the site, and the occupations of the inhabitants. Would they be realistic for agricultural west country? 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
