Each time the train entered the tunnel, the excitement level went up a lot! She really liked the tunnel. Under...

[quote=Chops post_id=34120 time=1624675718 user Your granddaughter is a beautiful blessing. Many happy memories for her with Grand Dad. I tried to interest my eldest daughter in trains at about that age. Like MacBeth, "Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it!" Oddly enough, my eldest, wh...

With the shack done I thought I’d play with the plate layers hut. The streaking was done at the same time I did the edges with the same mix(es) being used on all black areas of all models at the same time. (64 & Matt black) So it was already pretty much done.I touched in some area again (it made...

Brushwork, I used a different number 3 (for pigment fixer as it is enamel based) A number 0 for streaks and a drydrush for powder then stipp...

Boxes ticked. Roundy roundy with a yellow train. Something that works.....to be confirmed. I can’t w...

Something I will not think of...... How about a hot pink hurricane! ;) It will be her design, don’t worry, I have my toys. (My completed kits she calls daddies toys) Dare not argue indeed! She runs my trains, I just get orders to make it do this or that, typically route selection or put all the thin...
