railsquid Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yes, I can safely say that buses generally come in either long or short wheel bases, and look kind of new or kind of old, and have many different liveries :P I must admit, photographed from the right angle, I can almost imagine walking into the scene. 2 Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 And another bit of street scene. 5 Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Japanese-style Tardis which may shortly materialise on the layout. 4 Link to comment
railsquid Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Et voila: with additional interior lighting installed. Damned fiddlesome but got there in the end. 7 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Very nice touch with the red light! Jeff Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It often amazes me how you managed to work on your layout amidst being a father. Really salutes your timing organisation and passion, Squid san! :) Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 A couple of hours in the evenings mainly... At some point I'll need to negotiate some weekend time to do some strategic groundwork on the main layout part... Not much organisation, I just glom on to something I'm in the mood for. Which recently has been messing about with LEDs. Also I just noticed the police box isn't really visible from normal viewing angles, which renders the lighting somewhat pointless... Link to comment
katoftw Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looks great. do you have any recent layout photos that show a larger view of the layout as a whole? Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hmm, this is almost 4 months old: I'll try and take a new one when it's lighter, there have been quite a few detail improvements. 4 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Not quite from the same angle, and in poorer lighting conditions: 9 Link to comment
valkyriepm Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Wow! This is looking so great! Love to see the progress pictures and discover every detail added. Congratulations. Martin 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 *blushes modestly* Slightly blurry street shot for purposes of identifying verticality issues and detail to add. 6 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Definitely needs more clutter. Meanwhile the Safety Elves were complaining about the unfenced gap between the pavement and the retaining wall, so the local authority has been active. Also, an ostensible tourist has turned up and is being eyed by the duty police officer. On my long to-do list is to reduce the impact of that retaining wall, which is a temporary better-than-nothing measure, probably by gradually reducing the height. 2 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The railings and the vending machine is quite interesting... Are they from a kit? Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 The vending machine is from the Tomytec 自販機 set, which I decided is more useful as a source of parts than a stand-alone structure :D The railing comes from a job lot of what I think are unpainted Tomix station platform accessory parts, found them dirt cheap somewhere. 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 A while back I posted this photo, which shows the street on the far side of the crossing plunging into Stygian darkness. But fear not, the town authorities found some spare yen tucked down the back of the sofa and have installed more lighting: Enough even for railway staff working at the small stabling point to see by. 9 Link to comment
miyakoji Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Stygian Definitely gonna try to use this one this week 1 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Play some ool Definitely gonna try to use this one this week Play some old Styx albums in the dark! Nice work squid! Have all the houses on the hill sold? Jeff Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Evidently not yet, or at least not occupied, as electricity hasn't been hooked up yet. Meanwhile... Watch out Mr. Railwayman! There's something behind youuuuuuu.... 6 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Just another day at the convenience store... Somehow I don't think an enquiry is being made about the onsen trip advertised on the poster. Edited May 24, 2016 by railsquid 9 Link to comment
cteno4 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's LaLa! https://youtube.com/watch?v=11xs9mFKObs Jeff 1 Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 That's really fun! And the delivery truck is still there? Your police are not doing their job well ~ :P Perhaps the penguin is waiting for the delivery man with his load of salmons ? :P 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hmm, what to do with this rather tiny, slightly melted led? Yes, light up a front door. 5 Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Ooh, very nice idea! Next step, more interior lights? *tip: plaster the interiors with aluminium tape* 1 Link to comment
