I've always wondered how you keep the dust of a model like that?

The layout spends most of its time boxed and covered up, it only really comes out for exhibitions, the next one being Spalding in November. Before each show it is set up and checked, any dust there is I blast off with an air brush and a hoover.
The rolling stock is stored in sealed containers or in a display cabinet.

That looks great, is that a model slipway Maggie M? I have one in the loft but have never got round to building it.

ETA, just had a think about the scale and it's probably not!

Some pictures of my friend's layout Gresley Beat.

























And lastly, it is fun to operate and does attract a crowd at exhibitions.

The ship started life as one of those display models you see occasionally in the cheap shops.

Seen here when the stand had been cut off and the hull reduced to waterline, then placed on the layout at a very early stage in the build.



I scratch built a lot of details and then weathered the ship.

yikes How the heck does he find the time to build that?

Can only assume of independent means and literally nothing else to do.

It has taken 25 years so far, helped by friends, Roger Daltrey painted the back scenes and did a lot of the grass embankment around the gas works and along the front. Geoff Taylor made a lot of the buildings, including the houses on the front corner, an article on these houses helped launch Geoffs career into professional model building. It has been a labour of love and it is nearly complete.

He's a model railway, along with quite a few other musos and Hermann Goering.

That railway up there makes me want to weep, I can't even find the time to get mine out of the loft.

Here're some pictures of a 1:32 Scale F-4D Phantom II that I have recently completed for a friend who actually flew this aircraft in Vietnam in 1972.

The model is based on the Tamiya kit with the Eduard BigEd photoetch set and Verlinden USAF Vietnam era pilot figure.













and the real thing at Udorn RTAF in around Sept/Oct'72. The model depicts the aircraft at a slightly later stage after it had achieved all of its six MiG kills.

Brilliant! Superb attention to detail.
