Hallo,

The family albums reveal lots of overlooked features in the background, hidden behind images of the 'feral tribe' there was cow parsley at the side of the road, they grow everywhere in Franken. They are used to decorate the church for rural weddings or at least, they were popular in the '50-60s, much cheaper than flowers from the market. The richer the family, the greater the amount of cow parsley.



Model cow parsley, these look very interesting and good value, a pack of 32

I seem to be obsessed with green stuff

Cow parsley is available in the Tasma products range but I'd suggest going for the N Gauge version to use for 00/HO. Proportions look better.

Rob,

Cow Parsley is not particularly low growing, it normally looks most folk in the eye at a shade under 1,8m, its other feature is just how dense it grows. The Tasma 4mm 00898 is a nominal 11mm, a bit too short for 1:76 but marginal for 1:87. It needs to be densely 'planted' preferably amongst other road/trackside flora much like this image that features an unknown white plant amongst the grass, I am not sure how this will be achieved as the Tasma product is resistant to my clumsy efforts.

Agreed - it can be comfortably head high in the hedgerows when I'm cycling, meeting the Hawthorn coming from the opposite direction. Looks amazing, if - in the Hawthorn's case - terrible for my hayfever.

One last pet peeve, the shed’s fluorescent lighting really screws their actual colours, the rocks should be lighter than the buildings but not a different hue. The imaging software doesn’t seem to cope with the problem particularly well despite its outrageous cost.

Depending on the photo imaging software there is usually a function to adjust/correct for daylight balance.


For layout lighting I always go for either daylight bulbs or LED strip.

This is the result of a thread breaking

Unfortunately this is only the beginning of the repair, once the glue at the end of the jib is set, all the other threads will have to reset and cut to length before being reattached.

Better but not perfect, other threads need to be cut and reattached.........grrrrrr

This post will continue......

Patience is a virtue, so they tell me - but I do see where you are coming from with this :eek: .
