Sweven Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Allan you are our Aediculus. Just when we thought you had slowed down to one new building per week you pull out amazing photographs of mills, diesel sheds and other unseen masterpieces! I particularly like those flowers, reeds, flax and gardens in #4355. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly like those flowers, reeds, flax and gardens in #4355. Hi Sweven. The flora you refer to is a mixture of dried elder flowers and yarrow whilst the reeds are nothing more than strands of curled paper and this guy Aediculus - who he, is he a member ? Cheers.

allan downes Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Harlem Steel mock ups. Before the Harlem Steel layout was built, I built these mock ups to get some idea as to how it would look, then when I finally did built it, it looked nothing like this at all ! Cheers.
