murrayec Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Hi All and thanks for the great comments The first layer of static grass went down today, this is 2mm grass at track side- looking burnt from the constant weed spraying! The photos are taken just after application, the next post will be of the hovered site and hopefully well have burnt grass both sides of track....

murrayec Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi All Here are a few interesting photos taken by CM, the second layer of long static grass has gone down, still s few bits to finish in this mode- 'layers n layers' I like these shots though... ... you can see the layers building up CM & Eoin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Excellent Guys, hope this is keeping you back Eoin from the important work on the A class bogies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closetmodeller Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Oh. This is equally important work. The Master has so much on his plate while I lack the skills he possess in such bounty, that progress may be slow, but it is persistent. [And he is standing at my shoulder as I type, with the static grass unit in his hand!] By the by, Kirley, he claims to that he has done further work on those bogies!

leslie10646 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Gentlemen That scenery is pure artistry. Very well done. Now, I must read the rest of the thread for it looks as if ANYONE could learn from you. Keep it up! Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayec Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi All Thanks for the great comments and looking in, The last layer of grass went down today, field grass I call it- a mixture of size and colour. This was added to the field behind the beach and adjacent the bridges, and a bit mixed in here n there around the tracks for variation. The breeches got a smattering of long grass around the water edge which will intermingle with the reeds- eventually! Scattered flock and ground cover is next- gorse, brambles n ferns....... CM has been painting figures, this chap is looking very 60's in his wine strides n white cap A bit of timber loading going on Eoin & CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayec Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Friday again! Here are a few shots of the first fine detail layer going down- contrasting grass tufts and the start of the reeds in the Breeches. We are very happy with how the Breeches is panning out, some Bulrushes in next and its almost done. Also some masking of the transition line at the weed sprayed grass is needed, the contrast is to much with the green grass- brambles n flock should do the trick....

Dave Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Looks great Eoin. It's really taking shape. The fine details really set it off. I'd say CM is delighted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayec Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks chaps This is what we were doing yesterday on the layout, sticking down these little bits 2 nights a harvesting. The Bulrush! 6mm static grass tuft with bristles from a cement brush stuck in, then painted green with a thick blob of brown at the top. The Wild Shrubs! the same bristles glued in clumps, bent over and painted, fine wool is draped over some, flock is added, and all glued down with Mod Podge glue spray.

murrayec Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hi all The shrubbery works very well, we have completed most in the Timber Yard and The Breeches and have now moved on to the reed planting on the sand dunes of the beach....

closetmodeller Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Christmas is over, back into railway modelling on an intense scale but slow start. Dart in shop getting bogie adjustments and service being rendered, but these are just to show that we are still active. I take responsibility for the slightly perpendicularly challanged buffers in this shot. Edited February 10, 2017 by closetmodeller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
