4mm Polsarrett: BR(S) N Cornwall Clay, The Final Countdown

[Pencarrow]

And now with extra added light rust...



It's not quite that vivid in real life. Think I'll leave it there for a while.

This is a more representative colour shot:

And insitu...



Add a nice bit of colour to the corner.

As a memory aid, the colours I used:

Chris,

this looks most excellent.

Re your comment above about “not that vivid in real life”, I guess it will be difficult to get the balance until there’s some colour on the stonework?

Yes, that's part of the reason I stopped doing anymore just yet.

And the separate water tank assembly painted too

 

[Pencarrow]

Absolute stinking cold, so confined to barracks. A spot of painting called for I think...



After all Polsarrett has a show in April...

 

[Pencarrow]

Part way through the blending process and starting to look a bit less like Mr Blobby...



Not the best of light conditions...

[Pencarrow]

That will do for now...

Banana's ?

Nice to see the shadow of the 'original' roof has been retained.

Would the 'older' stonework below the 'original' roof have a tad more weathering than the 'newer' stonework above having been exposed to the elements longer?

Probably, but I'm waiting until I can get the building back under the proper lights before finishing off the paintwork Dave.

Thanks both, not bad for an RTP building.

I realised the other day when searching for a particular photo of the layout that, unlike Pencarrow, I'd not used the Thread mark feature on the Polsarrett thread. With the thread now 30+ pages it was taking a while to find stuff, so....

Threadmarks now added. The dates also give a handy (and sometimes embarrassing) timeline too.

It’s a few days shy of a year. I’d be proud, not embarrassed to have achieved what you have in that space of time.

especially as it’s bloody good, and you took some time out to win prizes with the big stuff too.
