Dave Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Just thought I show show everyone what I have been working on lately, The layout is still not finished, It features a terminus station in a town scene heading out to the country and on to the beach. It features a 5.2 mtr fiddle yard under the layout with 3 cameras to monitor the yard. All track laying and scenery done by me. Quote

murrayec Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Hi Dave That's just brilliant, you have done an amazing job on this layout and it's not even yours. I hope the client really appreciates what you have done here, setting up the beginnings of a really fine layout. Hours of fun ahead. murrayec Quote
BosKonay Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Absolutely class!!! The lighting and 'clean cut' feel is absolute genius Quote
fishplate7 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Dave. Absolutely fantastic. You have really created an excellent atmosphere! How long did all that take to construct on site? Eamonn Quote
BosKonay Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Stunning work Dave - what's your secret on the trackwork? The weathering / rusting effect is bang on! Quote
enniscorthyman Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Wow very impressive,and I love the lighting. Quote
Dave Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 Stunning work Dave - what's your secret on the trackwork? The weathering / rusting effect is bang on! Weathering the track with an airbrush would have been too expensive due to the ammount of track. So I went to a motor factors that mix aerosols for car paint and got them to match the colour in a matt finish. Once the track was all fitted and tested I sprayed it wiping the tops of the rails as I went. Its a quick and easy method and cheap too. Quote

Dave Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 Absolute genius Was it a specific RAL colour? No, I went with a colour the customer picked. I did pick up some camouflage spray paint cheap the colour was very close. RAL 8027 Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Bought a couple of tins of camo paint myself, but I can never seem to find it. Looked everywhere....... Quote
