Out with the paintbrush again.

Continued to work on that visually annoying slab of ceramic slabbieness.

Some relief.
Added relief.

More diorama fiddling.

The dark blank expanse of wall running along the side of the station platforms has always upset the visual balance of the diorama.


So I decided to remove it........



And paint the back of it white ...........




Aleady a big improvement but next I'll draw in some windows and other features.

Metallic green roof.

The lego roof of one of the most prominent buildings on the layout has been bothering me for ages - wrong colour and clashed with everything around it.

Tried grey paint then red ......





....... and now metallic green.










I think this harmonises more with the adjacent buildings; partly, I think, because the green roof is now the same tone and colour as the piping around the church's stained glass windows.

Bob Harris's excellent autobiography.
I have to say, Bob Harris has led a completely different life from the one that I thought he had!
