Orford
p.82
7mm/7mm FS
With the same attention to detail that impressed us so much with Debenham, Paul Clarke returns to the pages of MRJ with a new layout. Although smaller, Orford is no less impressive, and demonstrates that there is much to be enjoyed in building a finely detailed and carefully observed scene in 7mm scale

2mm Finescale in the Age of Austerity
p.91
2mm/2mm FS
Nick Mitchell has much to say about improving the current generation Graham Farrish model

Making the Most of Ready to Run Wagons
p.97
4mm/EM, 4mm/P4
Although both discerning modellers, Trevor Pott and Philip Hall have seen the benefits of refining popular RTR wagons. One looks at a Bachman model and the other by Oxford Rail, one is in EM and the other P4, and both simple-to-achieve improvements

Modelling Road Surfaces
p.99
A striking feature of Gordon Gravett's Arun Quay is ht variety ion the road surfaces that reflect wear and weathering they would have received over time. As we have come to expect from Gordon, his research, careful observation and then a willingness to experiment with different materials and textures has led to some exceptional modelling.
Here he discusses the nature of the surfaces he was trying to achieve and then how he created them.

The Unpainted Wagon
p.107
Martyn Welch looks at the weathering of wood and takes as his practice the common practice in the early years of nationalisation of leaving wagons unpainted. Here he shows how it is done on three ex-Private Owner Wagons

Digital Patternmaking and 3D Printing
p.115
Believing it to be enormous fun and liberating, Lawrence Boule suggests that drawing and printing parts in 3D extends what we can achieve in fine scale modelling. Here he describes the process that is now within the budget of the home workshop, and makes the case for the way we make better models in the future
