  • Colsterdale, NER

    p.42

    4mm

    Steve Barnfield, best known as a model painter of very high calibre, is also a layout builder and exhibitor (which perhaps makes him a masochist on two counts!). Here he describes an 'extension' which became a layout in its own right.

    Jas Millham

    p.49

    S

    Jas Millham is one of the hobby's characters and a leading exponent of the all-imperial scale known as S (3/16" to 1ft). Falling nicely between 4mm and 7mm scales, it is widely regarded as the 'ideal' size, yet is also perceived as a scratchbuilder's scale, having minimal trade support. However Jas contends that it is no more difficult than finescale 4mm.

    4mm

    Geoff Kent is the buildings supremo on the celebrated 4mm exhibition layout Dunwich, featured for the first time anywhere in MRJ No.15.
