Zomboid Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Excellent modelling. I think what you've really got down is the lighting. It looks like actual daylight (on a sort of cloudy but fine day). The vantage points help as well, being less of a helicopter shot, and more of a person with a camera view. You really have to look closely on some of them to work out that it's actually a model. That one with 503 in it in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatlander Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I just reread your post and caught the cellphone speaker in the wood box trick. I own a model train store and have been factory trained to install DCC AND SOUND. I am really impressed with the sound of the wood over the plastic box! I used to build custom stereo boxes for cars and can not believe I missed that! You are correct. Wood does offer better sound. Where do you get the cell phone speakers? The clarity is great! Great job on the sound!!!!!!!!! Also, what did you use for your tall grass? I cannot seam to get static grass to look that good.

Seb Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Hello Mark, Thanks for your comment. I have got those cell phone speakers from a local supplier, but very close those you could find here : http://www.sbs4dcc.com/sugarcubespeakers.html I'm using static grass from Mini Natur to reproduce the tall grass. Where do you get the cell phone speakers? The clarity is great! Great job on the sound!!!!!!!!! Also, what did you use for your tall grass? I cannot seam to get static grass to look that good.

Seb Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi Barry,The trees are made from Zeeschuim (= Seafoam = "Super Trees" from SE). Trees are first painted with a dark green acrylic color. After the painting step I glue a mix of foam, leaves and grass to simulate the foliage :- Foam : Heki 1611 & 1612- Grass : Mini Natur 2 mm "Late Summer" (http://www.sceneryexpress.com/2MM-LATE-SUMMER-STATIC-GRASS/productinfo/SF00223/) - Leaves : Polak or Noch I hope this information will be helpful to you.

Seb Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi, Over the last few days, the layout has been totally disassembled in order to do some painting works into the room. During the building phase, I have spent many hours making all parts easily removable. All those attentions have paid, all parts have been disassembled and stored in another room without damages. Since yesterday, the layout is fully operational again : 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted July 3, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2018 If I get anywhere half that, I'll be happy I won't be happy until I am least as good as that. (I want my track to look more rubbishy and run-down than that. Not a criticism of Seb's track.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was still in HO, I'd just give up now I like to think that with the larger size of O Scale, I stand a fighting chance of getting somewhere close to that sort of realism. (& I can do rubbish track quite well ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi all, Thanks to "F-Unitmad"; Mick, & "Regularity" for your comment! Or Jordan, Mick & Simon if you want real names! There are times I regret making up a user name rather quickly & without much thought although F-Units are one of my all-time favourite loco designs.
