I've had this sent on to me - it could be of some interest to others on here.

You don't even need a motor vehicle, an unsecured trampoline on a windy day will suffice.

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, I might suggest using silver paint - it's generally just as opaque as black but is a better 'undercoat' for white. I generally use that for added opacity on the resin buildings, if they're going to be lit - in those circumstances you have the bonus of less light attrition from the paint surface.

I wonder if it might be worth painting it black and then over-painting it white, to avoid 'bleed through'?

Interesting look back on Irish Railways
Broithe replied to burnthebox's topic in Photos & Videos of the Prototype
Mmm, I also reside in the rump of the Empire, and I can't see them - though, I could see the one from the same source that the Wrenn Boy put up earlier, but I can't see that one now.. -
You can cause disruption, even if there is not a bridge available to hit.

Indeed - quite a few things that I've never seen before, from when Ballybrophy was the centre of the Universe.

I came across this picture for sale on eBay in Australia, but a search showed it to be from the NLI. http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000304509 I've never seen it before - the pinnacle of the station's importance..

1950s Soft Drink and Tobacco Signs for Bantry
Broithe replied to bantree's question in Questions & Answers
You need to find someone who was local, a child in the 1950s and took up smoking early. -
1950s Soft Drink and Tobacco Signs for Bantry
Broithe replied to bantree's question in Questions & Answers
In cafés, you might find tea adverts, as well, perhaps - there were/are very Irish-defined teas - Barry's, Campbell's, etc eBay pictures can be a good source of images, when you have decided what you're looking for. -
1950s Soft Drink and Tobacco Signs for Bantry
Broithe replied to bantree's question in Questions & Answers
Dwans of Thurles was about then, in the minerals market, but I can't find any examples of adverts. There would be Ireland-specific cigarettes - Sweet Afton, Major, etc - but, never a smoker, so will have to defer to those with better knowledge.. -
It would have been a Tipperary South registration, about 1985/6.

Initially, I wondered if jhb was involved in the CGI stuff, as there was such attention to colours, but then I realised that everything was the right way up...

Interview on Radio Foyle here.

Another slight oddness, noticed this morning, is that, if I click on the link that I added into this post - - I get taken here - - for some reason. Instead of the thread about the Sleaford Exhibition. Not a huge issue, but it might be of interest, whilst you're poking about.
-
I believe that there is one running on Bantry - @Mike 84C or @bantree may be able to give more info shortly - it looked rather nicer than I was expecting, I remember that much..
-
Does anybody know exactly which shade of tan it was that they didn't have?
-
I'll let you off... Found these.
-
A Google image search brings up two uses of that picture where 1982 is mentioned, but they could be from the same opinion source, of course. Ha - pipped....
-
Blimey, 'they' are watching us, keep your heads down...
-
I assumed that your silence was due to you being busy fitting out the dungeon where he is to be kept after you kidnap him and force him to build these for you (and us) under the IRM banner. If not, then can I suggest that you start immediately?
-
Oh, I thought it was a clue that it was actually going to be a Czech wagon. Mmm, that worked a bit better when I was just saying it to myself....
-
Excellent! If I had known, you could have told him that the extending ladders that I bought off him a few weeks ago have been very useful already. You were mentioned at the time of the transaction..

Silhouette Cameo cutters - any users here?
Broithe replied to Noel's question in Questions & Answers
Electronic ones are cheap enough these days (often in Lidl/Aldi), and have the option of imperial/metric convertions. I generally use a metric dial one, so I'm not battery dependent, but it does mean committing to one set of units, metric has to be the way to go now.. Vernier, in the true sense of the word, is probably not the way to go - the imperial version particularly, can be difficult to read. Dial, or digital, display is the best for occasional use.
