- In this video we take a closer look at some specific areas of the Station Road layout and the scenic detailing added to buildings and scenes. Essentially the layout is made up of smaller dioramas that can be lifted from the baseboard, and it is some of these dioramas we'll be taking a closer look at.
Buildings include Metcalfe, SuperQuick, kit bashed, and scratch built. - Jak na to + styl
Great setting up
Julian you have a wonderful sense of spatial design, far better than many modellers I have to say - beautiful town planning! Joachim
Such kind and wonderful comments Joachim, thank you. I'm not sure I'd say I'm better than many others, as there is lots of spectacular modelling going on throughout the community. I think anyone who practices in model making would have some form of spatial design skills, even if they're not entirely aware they have.
Nice video 👍👍
Very nice !
I've only just found your channel recently and your railway is very impressive I have only just come back to railway modelling and my layout is a work in progress.
Another nice video that was a joy to watch. I like your modular approach to the buildings which allows you to work away from the layout and has given me some ideas. I have almost the identical church building in N gauge but Metcalf has improved it on yours by adding buttressing to the lower part as well as the higher section of the church itself. I am fast becoming a fan of your work but have a lot of your videos to watch before looking at your current work. I see from the TV news that NZ has almost irradicated the virus and that is great because it gives hope for us in the rest of the world.
Thanks Malcolm for your great feedback, it's wonderful to hear the ideas I share are coming in handy to others. It would seem NZ might be at the forefront of Covid control but we have just recently reported 7 new cases in the last week (all returning kiwi's from overseas), which means it's not over until it's over.
Nice video
Lovely detailing to those buildings and scenes and a very clever way of gaining access to track beneath. Paul
Thank you for your positive comment. Another benefit to separate diorama's is it will make the layout easier to move if need be (hopefully not though), as the diorama's can all be pack individually leaving a mostly clear baseboard to move about.
Thanks for the update. A very good layout - well done -Cheers Kevin
I've been inspired by some of your ideas
Very much enjoyed this video and love the idea of removable parts to work on in the house, We have not long started out in the world of model railway so we may use this idea on our layout look forward to seeing more of you layout.
What a gorgeous layout you have! I love the idea of ‘pop off’ dioramas, so convenient. Like you said you can work on them in the house. You have brought the metcalfe kits to life with the appropriate amount if weathering, people and scenery. Well done!!
Very kind comments, thank you. There's more little bits to finish off on the diorama's I showed, so there'll be an update video at some point.
Apologies on the auto spelling mistake, didn’t spot it.🤓
Don't make the mistake of weathering everything in the scene..... it might be good to see some re-painted pieces. Really like the pull out bits.
Station Road is predominantly set in 1960's England at a time when pretty much everything was filthy. You would only expect to see something clean if it was recently built. 99% of the buildings/structures on SR are from the mid-late1800's or early 1900's so you would expect a lot of grime during the 1960's period.
Hi Julia, like your different takes on the build process, interlinking base boards etc. How do you do your weathering on the card kits? Liked your comment on no ‘spiders’ underneath! Do you get any big beasties lurking Lol Eddie.
Hi Julian, with your buildings that you can pop off the layout, what do you use for the base ?
Hi Dave, I just use 3-5mm MDF depending on the location etc. It's a firmer material than using thick cardboard but still thin enough to cut with a craft knife. I even use MDF for constructing bridge and retaining wall substrates. It's a handy and versatile material to have in the rack.
@@StationRoadModelRailway Thanks Julian, you have given me some great ideas. Nice layout, i have subscribed, looking forward to more of your video's
