Hi all after a good build I was able to take a few photos of the railway halt , so the rails are only in place for scale , sleepers are glued to base ready for staining and adding gravel . The halt will have a corrigated tin roof , I am working on that right now . cheers ian  |

hi all the next stage was the weathering of the wood , I read the articles in the Modelers Annual 2010 and tried them out on this . First a wash of diluted light grey acrylic tinged with a mid brown to take the starkness out of it . Left it for 24 hrs , then I used Pastel pencils in various shades of brown grey , black even white . see the results . cheers ian  |
