All the best!

Just a quick one to wish you all the best for 2011.

I managed to grab an hour or so to start work on Escomb road seen here at the top near the little wooden garages. Hope to show more progress tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone

I just poped on line to do a sneaky bit of modelling on my G5, (Gosh it's hard to find out info on it, though there is a group rebuilding one, 'Class G5 Locomotive Company', good luck to them.



Anyway, I'd like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a great holiday rest.

Old Bakery beside Grey St.


By using google earth, street map and various other old maps and photos I have pieced together the old Bakery/Stables/tobacco factory complex.
I don't really remember anything about the buildings, and I'm sure they were knocked down by the time I was 7 or 8, but my landscape looks less baron now that I have it in.
I have also laid the houses to Princess St, all place holder but a good start. I have tried to get the correct number of houses in the street. I will do my best to match the houses/windows on all streets, however they will all use a varied but generic texture.
So all still very much blank blocks, I can now do the fun part and texture them.
Hope to show progress over the coming days.
regards

Derek
