Modeling cement in plastic
|
|

I am looking for techniques in how to make plastic look like concrete. I like the porous look casting in plaster gives and I’m looking for a way to get that look from plastic. I’m going to build a long retaining wall, in a somewhat deteriorated state. In the past I’ve built a master, made a mold,and cast in hydrocal. Then scraped and gouged to get the crumbling look. I like that look better than just painting the plastic. I could go that route again, but was hoping to find a less labor intensive way to achieve similar results by building from plastic. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Bar Mills HO REA Depot build

When I asked John Allen about buildings, he suggested they be small and tall. I have always tried to follow his ideas and look for small buildings.
One of my favorite buildings on the FS&M is the REA Depot shown here. This photo is a recent one taken by Dave Kruiswyk of George Sellios's orignal. The lower photo is of the new kit from Bar Mills Models which is patterned off of the FSM original.
Bar Mills Models offers this kit in both O scale and HO scale. I am going to build the HO version. This little building is about 5 inches wide and 3 inches deep. It is small but offers lots of opportunities for details.

paint question - recreating a blue shay model
|
|

I've been mesmerized by this blue shay since I first saw it in the late 1970. I've been doing On30 for around 5 or 6 years now, and I'm interested in possibly applying a similar blue paint scheme to one of my Bachmann On30 Shays.
Several questions - I'm curious, as I have some, but jr. level air brush experience, what color and other special effects that those more knowledgeable might share regarding this paint scheme.
and second, I'm also fishing for thoughts and comments on the skill level for reproducing/emulating this. Do you think its pretty basic? Or is there some 1970's high tech stuff going on here?
Thank you for your comments, I'm attaching a couple of photo's from 1977 && 1978 for review.

HRM Laser Models 25t coaling tower

I'm starting a build from a kitmaker who's new to me, HRM Laser Models. Specifically, I'm doing his small 25t (Milwaukee Road prototype) coaling tower. This is probably an early 20th century design, so I'll build it as if it's brand new on my late 19th century layout.
Here's some info on the kit: http://hrmlasermodels.com/Structures/CoalTower25ton/index.php
And a photo of what's in the box:
Pretty much everything is laser cut, but I'm looking at some possible substitute parts.
This'll be a slow build, as I have other projects (model and 'real world') that I'll be working on at the same time.

Below are three photos of a smoke jack on my my Model Masterpieces Round house. I am trying to determine if the slanted cover should point toward the back or toward the center cupola. Second photo shows pointing towards cupola and third toward the back. Any suggestions as pictures of this appear to be rare

PS, yah, I know the fan needs to be weathered

On the forums I can't get pictures to show up where the little Xs are ( you can see I'm not too computer savvy )

I stumbled across this website and thought I should leave a comment about my Dad who was a man that lived railroad and dedicated his knowledge to anyone interested in model railroading. Ever since I was a baby, we went on every vacation involved with Steam and rode in many cabs around the US. I have many great memories of my Dad living his Rail Life.
If anyone involved in the model railroad life ever met my Dad, they would never forget him.
