looking good Ken , the cab of the train is very good,

you still wanting to do a bird nest ?

you may not like this way but will work, get yours wife's hair brush and pull out some

of the hair and roll it around in the parms of your hand to a ball,then work it around

into a nest sharp and coat with hair stick and there you have it, ?

That is looking good Ken, loving the small touches around the scene.

Thanks guys and gals I am enjoying this, since they were rubbish anyway it allows me to try things without worrying about ruining it. Thanks Moni will give that a go.

I like all the details, bits and pieces etc.

Thanks Ian and Steve glad you liked it, it was a fun build too, I learned a lot from doing it too as I was not scared of ruining it.

A birds nest...? I will try something that I have in mind, if it works, I will post how to do it

For a bird's nest you might try wire wool or a Brillo pad, cleaned out? That would give the basis of the nest and it could be painted. Then add bits of other stuff to represent leaves, tiny twigs etc?

Birds nest - brilliant.

 

[monica]

[Richi72]

Brilliant,

Everything has been said so I stay just speechless.

Well, I can't do that so just brilliant, outstanding, great and something totally different.

Really like the weathering and I must ask can you make some B/W pictures?? Please.

Cheers Richi

Thanks richi I can convert those pics to black and white but the stuff is all back in the scrap drawer now just no room for it but I enjoyed the fact it didn't matter if I spoilt it as it was only junk anyway.
