Static Grass on The shunting fan...

Well here is an overall view to give you the picture....Showing off my home made Grassinator  Mk2 courtesy of you tube...Cost well under £5
 This photo is a close view of the grass, 5mm and 10 mm towards the top of the ridge and the edge of the track. It also shows my must have camping coach, although I have not got anywhere for it yet, I feel sure everyone out there has these 'Must Have' pieces?
I thought you may like to see a vehicle under the bridge, Yes the girders and hand rails are now fixed in place. I just have to wait for my Slaters wire fence posts to arrive.
 Here we have a closer view of the bridge, I have had a go at rusting the girders and hand rails using Maskol. If you look to the right of the handrail you can see the height of the grass.

Below is a long shot mainly go give an idea of how the path is progressing..

The Rottweiler below disguised as a Chihuahua as you can see forced me to include her in these photo's
Keep on modelling....

Small shunting fan update

Well after starting this, and starting that an then going off and starting something totally different I find myself thinking 'it's about time I did something with the fan?' 
             Well here is a few piccy's of the Bridge. The Bridge I bet your thinking 'Another bridge, is he getting a thing about bridges?'
 Well we will have to see?
 The Railings and girder bits are from a Ratio kit, But I decided to make my own wings and supports



 A double Decker  Bus will Not clear the bridge, but is is going to be a B road...

 Just a look from the other side of the bridge, It is not fixed in place yet

                                                          Watch this space...

New Bridge Update

Well it's been a busy week and I finally got some time to do bits and pieces to the bridge..and here we are...

A overall view with backdrop from a previous layout attempt, I thought it better than looking at bricks?
 
 It appears that the milkman is running late...
 The bridge over the river was made from a piece of 9mm ply I had spare, A sheet of Slaters 7mm stone (about £2.70) and a bit of paint, Oh and not forgetting the Wills English bond courses cut from spare pieces in my bits box.....So all in all shall we say "A bridge for well under a fiver?" In my view That's a result?

Did anyone notice that I put two more ring courses to the arch?
