7mm Millicent Street

[Barnaby]

'Tis only my 2nd visit since March '22 and as I said then the amount of detail work that is on show is incredible. It just goes to show that the model railway work is never finished.

Well done, Rippers.

Has this magnificent model gone into hibernation, or is it on a slow burn? It would be such a shame if it were to disappear.

Hi Rog, not gone into hibernation. Just on (very) slow progress. I’ll get some update pictures this week and upload them.

 

[Purple-haze]

Jeff, that is terrific news. I know what you mean, I think I'm working at the same pace, but my output is down about 60% !!! This ani domino is a PITA,

HI Rog. As Jeff has already indicated the progress is more glacial on this model than some of the rapid build essays we have been known for building on the past.
You are not seeing much at present as the last of the foreground buildings are being completed and small details, figures and vehicles being prepared on various scattered workbenches.

It's all starting to come together now though.

Progress might be glacial, but the results still make me think I should just give up now.... that ghost sign is incredible.

Magnificent work throughout

Told you we were busy modelling all sorts of odd stuff for this layout....!

 

[Rippers]

Work on the layout hasnt been totally forgotten either. Though a lot of areas cannot be progressed until all of the structures are completed.

 

[Purple-haze]

Did I once say this model could NOT get any better?

regards Rog

 

[Rippers]

The most recently completed structure to be installed on the layout. Though the detail intended to surround it has yet to be added.

 

[Rippers]

A few more general shots showing the state of play today. Not a vast amount of change over the last few months, but not so many gaps to fill now. But as previously indicated we don't meet like we used to and have been concentrating on finishing the final structures and a lot of the smaller details.

 

[Rippers]

Finally one for Rog to show that we try to think of everything........

This is all looking very good indeed.

 

[Purple-haze]

Thank you rippers, for a bloke of my age, you'll understand how welcome that site is! Trouble is there are very few public loos left.

regards Rog

Edit.. should read sight

 

[Rippers]

Latest addition for the layout. Currently in the latter stages of painting and finishing.

Edit.. should read sight

you could probably smell it ‘fore you could see it…

 

[Rippers]

Managed an hour in the playroom to make a start on fitting the next block of structures for the layouts frontage into the scenics. Plus to see how some of the related vehicles might work with them.

Not often seen modelled....
