Thx for watching. It was a great show an love a good boxfile layout! 😊

Thx for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

Ok thx, I’ll give it a try. It’s the one thing that frustrates me..

Hi Tony, the main structures use 3mm mount card. This is used in picture framing and can be brought at local art supplies shops or eBay is a good place to look. I got mine free from family. All other card is cereal or food packaging card, that comes free! :) Here is a link to hobby craft to give you an idea www.hobbycraft.co.uk/decor-and-frames/frame-mounting/mount-board-and-card

Nice ones too, for dirty diesels 😉

Yes must go soon! As need supplies.

Thx a lot. I was lucky to be able to salvage it.

Thx for the comment. It is, Metcalfe do a great job with all there kits.

Thx a lot and glad you enjoy them. Trying to use what I have.

Thx a lot, yes hopefully the trains got going again 😉

Hi Fred. Yes it’s a nice kit that went together nicely.

I didn’t know about Foamlux. I used this as I had a load from something else and wanted to try it out. Strength is not it’s strong point.. I want to try out pink foam an ply at some point too.. Thx for comment.

@@15MinuteModeller Thank you, understood, it's good to experiment and everyday is a school day for me. Please keep the excellent videos coming. I had hoped that Foamlux would - relatively speaking - come down in price over the years but it hasn't. I make do with off cuts from friends in the trade. I've a 'micro' layout on pink foam, on a light frame, it's coped well with exhibition use and garage storage. It's also a good medium to lay onto solid boards for scenery too and doesn't seem to attack/eat wiring insulation as expanded polystyrene does.

@@musoseven8218 Thanks a lot for watching my videos 😀 Strangely I was down at my local Building supplies depot the other day and saw they had a big selection of the pink foam in pretty thick dimensions but forgot to ask them how much it was. I’ve seen it used to lot by American layout builders and always been curious about the rigidity of it. Glad to know you’ve had good experiences with it and I’m definitely going to try it out for a future project I have in mind. Thanks for following along and hopefully they’ll be something out this weekend.

@@15MinuteModeller Give it a go! It has it's limitations, but it is a good alternative. Looking forward to your next video.

Glad you liked it.

It’s frustrating as I really like the quickness off the bond but the application is an annoyance. I did get some of the fine tips and been told that helps.. but..

@@15MinuteModeller The Rocket glue gives you no time to adjust, whereas with the PVA you do have a few seconds, no more, to correct things.

That’s true. If I can find the tips I’ll give them a go.. I know if I buy more they’ll turn up.. but see a return to pva

Thx for comment, and a “To The Trains” sign is not just for Christmas! 😀

Thx, yes this one will be right after your advice..

I’m looking at making a return to card modelling, the reason I’m here. I got a little fed up of painting plastic models, as the paint prices can be quite expensive, more so when the paint doesn’t seem to have a long shelf life anymore. The last card model I built was a Manor House out of the Downesplans book, around 25 years ago, every brick and tile on individually.. I don’t think I have that patience anymore, as I’v gotten a little grumpy with age. One thing I have tried with brick paper, is running it through my wife’s Sixxix Big shot machine using a Wills plastic brick sheet as an emboss, just to give the brick paper some texture. Btw, thanks for the scale model scenery link, I’v ordered some brick paper from them to try, and all I need is another Downesplans book for the Manor House again, as I let my others go around 15 years ago, due to a house move.

Beats having to get up really early to beat bin men! 😀

Thx a lot and good tip. I’ll try on next one.

No in fact it’s 00 so playing with the big boys.. oh and Peruvian is so last year! 😉

@@15MinuteModeller ah of course - the ebb and flow of the rivet counting fashionistas - I cant keep up with the young 'uns anymore ;-)

Get orf my lawn!!! 😉

Hi Mike, yes I don’t mind as long as this channel is reference in FB post. Really enjoy the show and hope it’s back next year. Regards Tom

Thx a lot.

This is 3mm Foam Board but you can get it thicker. I would use the black type but was using what I had around.

Thx Chris, I’m on the start of my fun journey into shelf layouts but using this as a test bed for further layouts.. I really enjoyed seeing yours grow. Have you had time to model? Thx for following along.

Thx Steve, yes exciting times! 😃 good luck with yours.

Thx, and your welcome

Thx a lot, it’s been some time coming 😀

Thx. Yeah they’re pretty good. More to come ;)

Thanks a lot 🙏 glad you liked it.

Much appreciated. More coming soon 😀

Thx a lot

Thx for following along.. and the setting up is the fun part! 🙂

Thx, well if you knew how long it’s taken me to get to this point.. lights n stuff will be revealed in later video.

Thx, yes that’s the plan. I even have a cup shelf below.. layout shelf

My friends might say I’m taking too long! 😀 Thx for stopping by

Yes a bit different to the oval of track on front room floor. With some careful close up pics sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.

Thx, yes there were some real nice layouts. I’m going to return to get a better look.

Thx a lot

Thx, been a bit quiet round here, but that’s changing. You have an impressive channel. Good for reference 😀

Thanks a lot
