MrWolf Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Back to your layout and I have to say it's looking absolutely wonderful and inspiring me to get on with mine some more. I've probably missed it, but can you tell me how you have bedded in the hedgerows along the backscene? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably missed it, but can you tell me how you have bedded in the hedgerows along the backscene? I faked a fence with just uprights - using the S&D type that appear in many photos with substantial posts (?concrete) with two thin metal uprights in each gap. I then just attached the hedges (horsehair with scatter) by eye and use da bit of PVA. This photo - stolen from a Facebook page posted by Stephen Brooks shows the type with one upright in each gap but it shows what I'm on about - even if this is GWR with S&D above! 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 That's a very convincing shape, I'll be keeping an eye on progress, I think that it's high time that I have a go too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I have both of Gordon's books and as you've probably seen on my thread, a big pile of steel wire. I'd better have a go. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 That is what I will be using for the smaller branches. The burned out bits of the wiring loom from my BSA went in the bin, the unburnt bits will be repurposed as twigs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted December 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2023 Don't forget that it's also possible to super-glue bits of sea foam to wire branches, using the spray on 'accelerator' to ensure the glue goes hard in a few seconds. @Re6/6 has made some superb trees on Parkend Marsh Sidings using this method: 7 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
