Thanks Boskonay. General process is: roll the clay to a suitable thickness prod it with a modelling fork to get the rustication effect Lay it on a lined paper template and use some brass sheet to line the horizontal courses The vertical lines are then marked out using some brass cut-off to size Cut in some smaller horizontal lining on some of the bricks Repeat the lining vertically and horizontally until satisfied. As stated already, I intend to redo it to get the more prototypical random ashlar effect. The clay air dries and sets rock hard in 24-48 hours. 'tis great stuff. I propose to provide a kit of resin abutements with wing walls and a brass girder bridge at some stage in the future.

I've finally got around to modelling some limestone "coursed ashlar" abutement and wing wall elements for a proposed girder bridge. The main thing I wanted to achieve is the random aspect of the construction. The real ones take randomness to an art form! I also wanted to try and capture the rustication (the undressed front face of the stonework). Once the clay has dried I will paint and weather them.

Sweet work, and your dissassembly makes one realise what a fine RTR kit it is too. Tasty.
-
That's a simple and elegant solution. Nice one. What buffers did you use Patrick?
-
Sorted. £2 for a kit with brakegear, brake levers, headstocks and buffers. This saves a lot of hassle.... Consider it on the bucket list. Thanks Horse!
-
Well if it can't be found on the shelf, then one could design it to be made available on the shelf
-
The alphagraphix one? Happy to collaborate on drawings, have it done. That's the baby...
-
Horse boxes, hmmm. Brass kit anyone? Shall I add it to the ssm bucket list
-
A fine looking van Richie. Diecast base? Some solidity in that I'd say. Whatever about your love of all things brake orientated, just keep away from the horse boxes!!

` They really are superb kits. Very well designed with great detail, interiors, wheels, acetate etc. Though I'm primarily a train man, I've taken to getting a sample of each of his releases... someday I may even build them!

No need George, it will be a solid whitemetal casting.
-
At 90 minutes a pop? No problem t'all t'all. But the invoice could hurt a bit. And I'd charge pro forma
-
It will be a single whitemetal casting. But off you go if you want to try
-
Spent a while over the weekend working on the Sambre et Meuse buffer pattern and here it is. and the ribbed back
-
Some workrate George, that EGV looking damn good!
-
What a strange float. Graham Leniham wouldn't have thought of that in his wildest flight of fancy....
-
Ardee. mmmmm. Gorgeous GNRI polychromatic brick. And the station is well preserved there too. Roll on I say!
-
Ahhhh. Now that's the job. A great kit , great construction and great finishing. Strake eh? Sounds like how a kerrywoman would describe her visit to a nudist colony...
-
Well I do JB...and others then followed.
-
Find yourself a builder and I'll see you right!

Ahh, and that's why the Bachmann Y25s look a little bit off as well.
