Mark,
It's great to see you keeping this thread alive. You're my "go-to" person when I want to find something unique to ponder to build something different.
I enjoy looking at all of your additions to this wonderful module. Keep the pictures coming.

Hi guys.
Sorry for the delay. I was told on the other forum to 'delete cookies' to get rid of the error message I was getting when attempting to navigate around this site. Unfortunately that had the result of completely locking me out! Whenever I typed in 'model railroad forum' I got the error message. I should have just been patient. Anyway, I tried again today (for the first time in a couple of weeks) and hey presto!
Thanks very much, Carl!Cool stuff as usual Mark!
I'm enjoying watching your new scratchbuild as it develops. Its looking very impressive.
Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Louis.Great looking kit bash. And, getting all pieces to fit in somewhere as well. I believe mock-ups are always worth doing, saving time and dreaded changes down the road. That fits in well Mark.
I couldn't work without mock-ups. Its a big part of the design process for me. I think when I finally get around to starting Shadowlands I'll find a way of mocking up mountains - either that or spend a considerable amount of time redoing and working from a scale model of my scale model.

Hey Mark:
Joe fixed the 403 error locking us out a 2 weeks or so ago. Believe me I felt that pain trying to get on.
I think all the functions are working now.PhilipComment

Thanks very much, Mike.You have made real progress. Your developing urban scene is fantastic. I like the new kitbash and the historical information you dug up.
It's inspiring seeing your work again.
I'm please to be able to share my progress again with all my friends around the world. Onwards and upwards.
Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Rob.Great work Mark. Nice to see this thread going again. I really like the way you're fitting everything in, and all the different levels
I love the challenge of the vertical. Its also a great way of fitting more structures into your layout. On hill sites around a harbour land is usually at a premium. As well as that I find it easier to selectively compress believably. Buildings in the prototype look to be almost stacked on top of each other. From a modelers point of view this means the front and sides of structures are typically very visible. The problems to overcome include one face typically being completely hidden from the viewer and, with the way hills almost demand curved roads, structures needing to be either bashed or scratched to fit the sites available. I see neither of these problems as downsides.

Thanks, Frank.Mark, Littlejohn and Son, really, what a coincidence. I see your work is jumbled up as ever, and I mean that in a GOOD way. You're the master of jamming structures together.
Our son and John were here to stay over the weekend. My son owns a coffee shop in Dunedin and John hangs out in the shop during the day. He is a sharpei and a real highlight among the patrons. His face is also used as the shop logo, and is printed on the coffee cups, as well as available on T-shirts, carry bags, socks and T-towels.
I do enjoy the challenge of 'jumbling and jamming', in a good way!

Thanks, Larry.Mark I just got caught up on your progress. The cannery and tank looks fantastic, well done!!
The cannery was a lot of fun. My biggest scratchbuild by some distance. With all those different levels there was a lot to get my head around. I don't think I could have done it without starting by drawing a full set of plans.

Thanks, Mike.Mark, the canary is coming along very nice. I like the way it is all cut up with lot of different angle and heights. Great work.
Angles and height changes make my world go round. Thanks for following along.

Lots more to come! I'm pleased you're finding some uniqueness in my work. Of course, we are all just standing on the shoulders of giants. Just yesterday I was going back over my photos from 2015 when I was lucky enough to visit the F&SM. Of all George's talents (and there are many) I think his imagineering stands out for me.
