Ciotog Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am nearly finished making a 'made-up' layout in the attic. I'll post a few pics in case anyone might be interested. It's my first effort, so it's still a bit raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciotog Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks for the compliments, lads. I went to school in Carrowmore, Lacken many years ago and thought that it would be fun to construct an imaginary layout based on Carrowmore and Lacken. I had'nt thought of doing a video, but that's a good idea - once I work out how to go about it. In the meantime, I'll post some more photos. The round tower in Killala - took ages to do!

Ciotog Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 The mythical station at Carrowmore with a ruined church in the background, as some ramblers go for a stroll. Great name for a garage!!! Part of the work section. My take on Lacken Junction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciotog Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 For the water effect, I used 'Solid Water' It is a two part resin that needs to be mixed together and using sparingly, as it is about £10 for 90ml. I used Polyfilla for the base and put in some gravel while it was wet to give the effect of a riverbed. I painted it a light colour to get rid of the white and then added the mixed resin when the paint was dry. As the river runs into a small window, it picks up the light very nicely. I put a small 'bridge' - the bridge is actually a small tunnel emtrance with more foliage on top and down the sides - at the back, and glued a mirror behind it to give the impression that it continues on. A bit of foliage and grass along the banks add to the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
