Fantastic skills, Barry. It's all very impressive, but what really knocks me out is the painting and detail of the figures in 1/72.

Thanks Doug, I have to use a magnifer '×3, and I dont think my fig painting would be any good at 1 35.

You certainly have a love of rail subjects and your knowledge and modelling skill really bring this to life.

Another cracker to add to your collection! I'd guess most of your builds would fit in a bookcase as they're not too wide. Put all your builds together and it would look a d**n site better than a row of books!
