Scotties Crossing to no where.

[Neil Merryweather]

That's a mess?!

My thoughts precisely!

Signal looks great Scottie. A very complex item that does a very simple job! It looks almost early Victorian, nothing like contemporary British practice.

Hi Scottie
Base looks very nice - well thought out. Signal looks really good but I can imagine making it was a nightmare.

Lol thanks Ron. You can't see it up close.

Neil, Trust me you can't see it up close.

Tim, Your right it is a right mix of levers, rods and counter weights.

Jim, I think I can safely say that is one of the most difficult things I have ever put together, but it does build into a nice kit.

That's coming along great Paul.

Thanks Andy.

To say you think it's a mess, it looks really good to me Paul.

cheers guys appreciate the comments.

 

[scottie3158]

Still a work in progress but it's getting there. Still stowage to add and figures and it's still missing something and suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks John very kind of you.

Looks fantastic Scottie. Always love your gardening on these. The whole scene really gels to my eye....
As you’ve asked though, two minor observations I would make are as follows. The rail side should be more of a rusty colour, and if the track has been used recently the top should be polished. If it’s recently out of use during the hostilities the top would be fresh rust coloured. It would only be dark brown if it had been out of use for years.
Secondly, it’s obviously a warm dusty day, so the half track front wheels should have dust in the treads, but not on the surface...
Really very minor points that only a pedant like me would notice

Thanks Tim, the top of the tracks are polished but don't show in the picture. Your point about the track sides and the wheels are well received I will have a look at them tomorrow. Really appreciate the feed back.

Hi Scottie
That is looking really nice. The 'gardening' is particularly well done.
Jim

 

[Archetype]

That looks excellent.

 

[outrunner]

Man that looks brilliant, although being in the middle of a crossing with the bonnet open looks a bit dangerous.


Andy.

 

[minitnkr]

Will agree w/Tim & add, the road doesn't show much use either. Small things on a beauty of a vignette. PaulE
