RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted May 17, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Morning all. Artist Sheldon Fopp provides us with another view of Sheep Dip in his own unique style. Recent work has seen some titivating of the scenery with additional bushy bits and grass dotted about the place. Photos to follow. Rob. 26 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2020 The track is looking quite 'weedy' there, definitely competition standard. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2020 I think I prefer the robust and uncompromising clarity of Norman's views, as compared with the esoteric, vaguely anarchic and functionally entropic aesthetics of Mr Fopp's interpretations. 3 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What started out as hope, soon will become a corroded dialectic of defeat, leaving only a sense of decadence and the inevitability of a new beginning.

I have read Porcy's post about five times now and I think I may have laughed myself to death! It's sadly no exaggeration. I know people who do talk like that, but only when the right audience is present. They collect vast sums in grants from community enterprise schemes, but I'm dammed if I know what (if anything) they actually do. One thing is for certain, they can't draw a stickman. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Beautifully untidy. Do like the weed growing out of the rotten sleeper. The current lockdown is an interesting view of how quickly nature takes over again within a few weeks of a lack of human interference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Hope you don't mind, but I had to experiment with your photo in black and white. The cab side sheets and tank look just like they had been wiped over with an oily rag, but the only reference I have to the real thing is old photographs. I think if anyone was handed a dog eared 5"x3" print of your model, they'd assume it was taken somewhere in England in the early 50s.

It's just fab. Rather like the growth immediately to the right of the stone wall in the left of the photo, ie. that one with the little red flowers.

Between the wall and the right hand end, as always we start with a bed of PVA onto which is plonked 2mm static grass. Succesive layers of 4mm and 6mm static grass are then added using layering spray glue. Onto this are added, in the case of the left hand side, coloured flocky bits for flowers and a few light green flocky bits for contrast. The bigger leaves are from Greenscene and I'm not sure they are still available. The bush to the rights is a tidy amount of fine mixed green flock dumped onto the 6mm grass with a spoon. Glued and then z light dusting of white to suggest small flowers. Rob. 1 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
