Taken with the smallest aperture the camera would let me go to! I haven't sussed stacking.
The camera is an Olympus C-7070 wide zoom, so it says.

Actually you didn't
, I forgot to add it so when you jogged my memory I quickly grafted one in and re-uploaded....your not going mad, I cheated, in the nicest possible way, LOL.Kindest

Kewl, as I said, nice depth of field, that's about the easiest thing to mess up and make a model look like a model. I did it here 1:1, used a very large aperture which produced a very small depth of field and thus a model train effect image.

Now that is some photograph. I like particularly the "oiled and dirty steel" appearance of the motion and the "wavy"lines of light reflected in the platework. Nice prototype so when will we see images of the model?
As if in passing, the track and ballast look very nice, just like Didcot yard on a cold and frosty Winter morning.

Now that is some very accomplished modeling, the track does it for me its nice and gritty, also very impressed with the simulated track panel weld and removal of fish plates, very authentic.
For the smoke you need to feather the front and rear edges a little, also the rear faring (that section with the grills) probably would not have smoke coming from it, if you have no objections I'll have a dabble later today and see what I can come up with.
Whats scale is that please, has to gauge 1 or larger, oh and did I already mention, the track looks good! LOL.

I'd have pegged it as 12":1ft - if not I'd love to know how he modelled the split pins in the brake blocks and the fluting on the anchor link etc.
Presumably the hard edge to the smoke and the track defining the mask where the background was blurred out.

Hi Guys
Back to a bit of modelling
Martins Bank.....
There is a huge gap in the backscene that needs closing up the other side of the roadbridge by the station.
A building of some sort was called for. The first plan was a pub - too big - and the second one is a bank.....Martins bank.
There is a diminutive bank in Middleton (OL2 5PD google map if you're interested) that stands proudly on the corner and makes a statement of opulence that is totally out of keeping with every/any other property nearby. No attempt has been made to blend in, and I really like that.
So we've modelled it, nearly all of it. Cynric has lasered the sides, and the brains trust today put a roof on it. It proved a pig to get the roof something like, but we're very close. It needs to be a bit higher - maybe 20mm, and we had to simplify it somewhat, but it works.
This is a mock up as a proof of concept, but it achieves the aims of filling the gap, and being hugely different, I'm sure will be a talking point.
The other advantage is that the building will straddle a baseboard joint, so on the jigsaw principle, it will mask the join somewhat.

you need to tell me what the roof pitch is

Well, in that case, the time is fast approaching when the Guv'nor can send the laser-lacky out to the supermarket on "its" own.... that will give Cynric more time for modelling in other mediums.
