Waverley West Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 The Bubble Car looks great Dave - tempted by one myself! The weathering you've done looks spot on! I asked a question about your figures a little while back but it got lost in the excitement of the new videos so hope you don't mind me asking again - "Where are your figures from? They are very realistic. And are they all fixed in position or just balanced so you can move them around?" Cheers, Chris Hi Chris Sorry for missing your question earlier. Most of the figures around the layout are Bachmann Scenecraft (mainly the Businessmen pack inside the buildings). Quite a few of the passengers waiting on the platforms are Preiser. They're glued down inside buildings and on the platforms and tacked down using tacky glue elsewhere, so that they can be moved around. Hope that helps but please feel to ask any more questions!

Chris64B Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks Dave! Is it this stuff you mention: https://www.deluxematerials.co.uk/gb/miniatures/37-tacky-glue-5060243900241.html Or perhaps this one: https://www.deluxematerials.co.uk/gb/miniatures/38-tacky-wax-5060243900258.html Cheers, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works pretty well and means I can move figures around which makes for a bit of variety. Cheers, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks Peter. I was in two minds as to whether to fit it because of possible derailment problems but it would probably be worth a try at least. Cheers Dave Hi Dave, I fitted some to my Lima 101s and Bachmann 108s and had no derailments on my tight curves, so worth a try. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Waverley West Posted April 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Hi folks, Precious little modelling time at the moment, but I did manage to finish work at a reasonable hour tonight and as the sun was shining I thought I'd nip down to Waverley, space-time displacement machine set to 1986. A Class 122 was attached to a Fife service to provide extra capacity in the peak... 47636 was waiting to leave Platform 15 on a service to Inverness. Passengers settle back in the comfort of a Mk 2, blissfully unaware that 40 years of subsequent progress would leave them with seats specified by DafT... Over on Platforms 12 and 13, a 107 and 122 unit were awaiting their respective departure times... The sun was shining up on a busy Waverley Bridge... I then nipped over to Haymarket and managed to grab a few shots of 60009 which was due out on a railtour from Waverley... Just as I was leaving, 47636 stormed past on its way to Inverness. 26028 was parked in the East Yard... Hope to be back soon with some more updates. 150001 is sat on my desk, tantalisingly close to completion now. Cheers for now,Dave Edited April 27, 2018 by Waverley West 38 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hi Dave Excellent photos love how you capture those shadows, I'm taking it as early morning rather than sun set. Regards to the Roof of the MK3 BR Blue/Grey Coach, how did you get the peeling effect on the roof, it looks superb.

meanach Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The wear to the mk2 roof is amazing ! How did you get that effect ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 The wear to the mk2 roof is amazing ! How did you get that effect ? Thanks meanach. I spray the coach roof with a base coat (usually Railmatch Roof Dirt) and then paint strips of Maskol to represent patches where the roof is peeling. This is then finished off with several coats of fairly heavily applied top coat (Railmatch Weathered Black). The Maskol is then rubbed off and hey presto, you should end up with something that looks like a peeling roof. A final dusting with weathering powder helps everything to blend in together. I've been very pleased with the results and intend to add the effect to a few more coaches, especially the Mk 1s. Cheers Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi Dave I must say it looks highly impressive for the end result... look forward to seeing more Mk1s.... Regards Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
