The harbour is greenish shade on MDF with PVA dabbed on with a 1" brush laid flat then lifted to give a rippled effect, needs to be applied in the same direction. If memory recalls I applied 6 separate layers and can be renovated with another layer of glue as and when necessary. Thanks Kevin. The 'gloss' coming from the PVA rather than varnish ?

J15 alongside the pond at Laxfield. August 1952. The first thought is*, that's a bit of an embankment there, it would be difficult with your standard IKEA boards. But a quayside might work if you have an extension from under the board as the water surface, so the board edge becomes the quayside. *Actually the first thought is, that's a wonderful scene! 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I've been doing some research, and I think we might have been spelling and saying his name wrong. I've read he was actually Norman Flockhart, a name synonymous with the region, but owing to a misspelling in the railway press at the time the name Lockhart became the common labelling. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
