Having made the separate units, the next step was to fit them together. First thing was to hinge the doors with doll's house brass hinges stuck in with tiny flat headed pins and superglue. Once in place the spacing between the front screen panel and the rear seating pod was established allowing the ...

Now that we know of your building background it all becomes clear why the model is so convincing. The structure, and especially the timber framing, is straight out of the building manual. The strange thing is, if you do this during your working day, why aren't you doing something completely differen...

A beautifully crafted model made in similar fashion to the way I use plasticard myself... Everyone has a preferred method and material but as long as it achieves the desired result, it obviously works. Plasticard is an incredibly versatile material. It can be used with minimum engineering equipment,...

The next chapter in the creation of my New Emett... I have posted this on another forum too, so for those of you who subscribe to both, you are twice as lucky!!! The photographs show the 'cab' front attached to the main body and the construction of the passenger compartment in sections. I have done ...

A New Emett
This one is taken directly from Emett's book,'The Early Morning Milk Train'. It is a model I have been promising myself for many years but chickened out dut to the complex curves and structure of the vehicle. But now I have been encouraged by my on-site responses and success at Telford Exhibition, s...

Hi SherpaPhil, I have used several breeds of animals with 16mm scale all manufactured by Schleich and available from various sources on-line. One I use is Wonderland Models who have an extensive picture library for you to select from They are not all made to the same scale so you need to select care...

Hi GW The 'icon' I use is an Emett influenced drawing which I use to show my passion for his work. My own models are large scale, probably bigger than 7/8 scale (but who knows how big the originals were?) all based on Emetts cartoons. There should be some on this site also on A.W.N.U.T.S. I too work...

Engine Shed for the E de Si
Absolutely stunning!!!!!
I'm in modelmaking heaven when I see such skill and attention to detail...
It's true this is unsuitable for outdoor use but in an exhibition venue it is a certain crowd pleaser.
Brilliant,
Peter.

Created for the 1951 Festival of Britain passenger carrying railway, 'Far Tottering and Oyster Creeek', this locomotive ran on ...
