RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted May 18, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 At last the Gatehouse now has a gate to secure the yard from intruders. This has been made from two Ratio gates with the spears cut off from one of them and the end post removed from one side. The gate post and hinges are from a bit of cut off sprue from the Ratio fence and gate pack mounted onto a card and plasticard brick post. Some pictures of construction and in position on the gatehouse. All the best Adrian. 30 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2021 As usual, when you add something new to the layout, it looks like it's been there for ever. You really do have this knack of blending everything together so well. Good stuff. Al. 4 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted July 14, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2021 It's time for the annual boundry fence inspection at Brasted, and also some gratuitous shots of a Land Rover. So some pictures of the inspection on a sunny day at the foot of the North Downs. All the best Adrian. 31 13 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Nevermakeit Posted July 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2021 Photo 7 of the Landrover against the fence looks so life-like. How did you make the barbed wire, please? (The other pictures are great too!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted July 15, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi Nevermakeit, I am glad that you like the pictures. The fence wire was made from cotton painted with a very thinned Humbrol enamel paint which seems to give the cotton a ragged finish as luck would have it.

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted September 17, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2021 Teloxys Aristata or Sea Foam, trees to you and me. Early on in the year I was looking at the trees on Brasted and thought that they were looking a bit rough and ready, I looked at the price of replacing them with ready made till I saw that for the quantity that would be required a lottery win of quite a size would be needed. So being a tight wad (read Mrs W Station) I decided to grow my own, a purchase of Teloxys Aristata seeds from this link provided me with a forest in a packet for about £4 https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_1235a_teloxys_aristata_seeds Now comes the boring bit, plant seeds in a large pot filled with free draining soil and wait 6months. ......................................... 6months have now passed and your seeds will now look like this if you are lucky. Harvest and hang them up to dry for a week or so. Spray matt brown The next part is to plant the trees, which I did by cutting all the old foliage off the existing trees leaving just the trunk and some branches, and then placing the new branches over the old trunks to form the new trees. The foliage was made by first spraying the top of the trees with firm hold hair laquer then a base coat of 2mm fibre were sieved on, next another spray of laquer and a final layer of coarse turf was applied by hand and another coat of laquer to secure. You need a sunny spot for the seeds as they are a desert plant and can suffer from dampening. And some pictures of the finished trees, I wanted it to look like neglected scrubby woodland. Happy gardening. All the best Adrian. 25 1 1 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishplate Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Superb, Adrian. That density of trees / shrubs is very realistic. It reminds me of the 009 layouts called Forest Gate and Cliffhanger. If I remember correctly they used expanding foam blobs as the basis for the large area of trees created. I wonder what happened to those layouts? Your method of modelling requires much more patience 13 hours ago, westerhamstation said: Spray matt brown Ps, I trust Matt was unharmed? 2 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
