David Holman Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Remarkable. The vision required to create this scene, let alone the enthusiasm to build it, is fantastic. We can only hope it will get public outings so we can all enjoy it. Looks like about £100 worth over Evergreen strip there. Still not bad when you think how much it would cost to commission such a building, but start up costs seem to be growing exponentially these days. For example, I must have close to 100 Humbrol tinlets. Replacing them with Tamiya acrylics would be quite an expense were I to do it all at once. There again, how many colours do you really need? Three, five? As for plastic sheet, a full sized A1 piece from Eileen's will set you back the same as an A4 from your local model shop. Hence a very good reason to plan your shopping if visiting a show and with no Maplins on the High Street anymore, the same goes for electrical bits too. Enough already! Barrow Street is sublime.

jhb171achill Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 This just keeps getting supernaturally better! Such an unusual prototype with so much detailed thought going into its planning, never mind its execution. I'm really enjoying seeing this one develop. I take it you live in a 5-storey house to accommodate it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 This layout belongs in the epic category. You don't see many urban scenes like this. I always thought Nigel Burkins Platform 4a and 4b (although smaller than Barrow street) was a great piece of modern urban modelling and this is right up there with it.

Robert Shrives Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Good looking trays, will you line with acid free tissue paper and have card slips between coaches ? or foam buffer protectors, I have done all three - albeit in G1 , I use JB foam in N gauge which with a card base is very good. Just to add to all an opus project of great standing and brilliant executed. A case of the 5Ps at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRi1959 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Warb, I take some interest in your storage boxes and methods - very similar to the way I think.

David Holman Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Not just a maker of fine buildings then. Not surprised! Evergreen strip has got very expensive of late - about 50p per piece/£5.00 a pack. Potentially cheaper to buy laser cut windows than make them yourself in 7mm scale. Trouble is, you can't always get what you want, as Sir Michael once sang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
