FIMO in the air-fryers! - Love it..
Tickled my funny-bone, thank you, on this cold, slushy day.

Excellent build, by the way.
I especially approve of the rain-water harvesting.

A Christmas Pudding tree..

The Spaghetti bushes, are getting past it.

Do read-up on resin printing, before jumping in..

You not only need the printer, but a wash-station, and a UV curing light, as well..

Resin is sticky (like the proverbial) and it can get a bit messy, if you are not careful.

I believe there is a question mark, about the odour, as well?

Phil.P

A safe and peaceful Christmas to you all!

Isn't it cheating, to have a hole on the green, of that size?

The workman figure (with the raised arm) looks very Clockwork Orange, to me.

But it does look to be a very interesting development.
If it is flattering when converting photos, I might even be able to end up with a mini SW!

Phil.P

You are a rubbish cat!
So I need to keep an eye on you.....

My second thought, would have been it cut vertically, and made into an Emett / Cinderella style carriage..

You'll get into trouble, Peter..
I believe Welsh Dragon Eggs are protected!

Talking of wet blankets.... Smothered in Snow!

Get the 12" to the foot kettle out!

A dribble of boiling water, along each rail will kill the moss off.
Possibly not as much fun as a weed-killing train, though?

Your biggest limitation will probably be transport.. I am sure there must be more than you think? - I am always surprised, when they pop out of the woodwork. All I can suggest, is getting to shows, and enquiring whilst there.. Slowly you will find others in your area. The heritage lines, quite often...

I was thinking how smoothly it was running, as well..

So many mechanisms seem to have a bit of a 'limp'.

Well done!
Phil.P

Less yellow?
Would that be Stephensons improved Rocket Yellow, perchance?


Phil.P

I hope there is enough air-cooling?
Don't want the champagne and caviar getting warm!

Phil.P

Yep!
Ten days of swings and roundabouts..

It would be interesting to 'compare and contrast' with a recent photo, Rik..
Incentive, to show what can be achieved.

Phil.P

Any of my model photos, if successful, are surprising..

An electric rat, sometimes makes an appearance at the BGRA, and a black cat has been known to run round certain G scale layouts..
