Here is the beginning stages of the little grounded railway cottage mock ups. Only the basic carriage has been done so far, no extensions yet! I have to say I think I chose the correct prototype, it really suits the scene well, so thank you to the good folks at NGRM for sharing their concerns at the large size of the original carriage.

The porch is a little bit too tall, but apart from that I think this set up looks quite nice (maybe the porch could go around the back though?:

Sorry for the low light photos as usual with the photos on the layout itself! The back of the carriage has not been drawn for two reasons. Firstly, it will have an extension on it. Secondly, it actually won't be visible from any public viewing angle - you'd have to have you head over the layout to see the back of the carriage. I would probably still put minor detailing on the finished model though for photography reasons.
I think it really sits nicely in it's current position, much better than its' predecessor!

I've just read through all your recent posts about the new scheme...very interesting. I love your sketches, they have so much charm. The coach is wonderful, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back, I would have built it by now and then had to adapt it and fiddle with it until it was right :-) It's good to plan things out, and I am really pleased that you have decided to model a compact scene- this has a feeling of Malcolm Furlow's work about it and will be equally as lovely at this rate.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Iain!
ReplyDeleteI've only recently got back into sketching - I bought a small graphics tablet years ago which I've only just started using. I love sketching, so it's good to get back into it. I've not heard of Malcom Furlow before, but after a quick look online it looks as though he's built some wonderful layouts! I'll have to delve a bit deeper. I really hope the project pans out as it looks in my mind, time will tell I guess!
