2016: London Underground Diorama Underway

Sat, 2016-01-02 13:08 — RichErwin

2016 is off to a great start. I've been able to make good progress every day this year (ha!)

Maybe this will be the year we get the London Underground exhibition layout up and running. In the meantime, I'm starting off with an OO scale diorama of Morden Tube station from the Northern Line.

I've made major progress on applying road markings to the London streets.

What did I do wrong with the baby powder and paint

Will a Cricut Expression work for MR items?

Wed, 2015-12-30 18:36 — Bill Feairheller

I received a Cricut Expression model for free.  I have the machine and the power supply, but no instructions or other information.  All the blogs use the other cutter and I would like to know if this one can cut out  structures and signs etc. and if so, what I need to make it workable.  Also, are the instructions sheets available? All I saw on the Cricut web site was a download  "Cricut Craft Room"   I would appreciate any help  Thanks.

Trying to scribe a brick wall into styrene

About a week ago I saw Rick Reimer's (On30guy) post here on MRH, where he is creating a wall of a brick building with his laser. I thought this must be possible with my Sillhouette Cameo die-cutter and a diamond tip scribe in styrene for HO scale.

Determined to fool around and try to see how well a low cost machine can scribe this in 0.010" styrene for HO scale, I set out last weekend and started drawing in the Silhouette Studio Designer. This is what I came up with:

SPSF Meadow Sub: Bellevue Station Kitbash

Thu, 2015-12-24 20:07 — emillerz

One of the structures I have been wanting to get around to in the last year is my centerpiece passenger station, The Bellevue Station.  I finally had a chance to start it and finish it in the last month.  This blog entry details the information behind the station and provides a gallery of photos during construction.

My first module - Installing the bridge

Now it's time to install the bridge.

Here is my Exactrail 50' girder bridge weathered lightly with AIM Products powders finally glued in place.  I also added more weathering to the abutments.
