Great looking models! She's very talented and obviously a careful modeler. How nice to have this interest in common! By the way, Vigdis is certainly welcome to become a Big Blue member in her own right if she'd like!

I've seen her work on your older thread and she's doing a fine job. They often say women have a special attention to details and I must she got it right. The car with the passengers is just too sweet. Makes me feel ashamed of my driverless trucks on the layout!

All that, and narrow gauge too !!
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
Wow guys, thanks for all the kind words!
Actually, Vigdis registered here on Big Blue a while back, but since she doesn't feel very comfortable writing in English, I hope you don't mind me answering on her behalf. She's sitting right next to me as I'm typing this, and is very humbled and thankful for your nice comments. When she feels ready, she will write her own postings.
Svein and Vigdis

There's folks that can, and some (like me...) who can't. SHE DEFINITELY CAN....

Scenery is coming along on the diorama. The rock faces are plaster castings with a wash of WS earth tones, and the first ground cover is a thin layer of real soil from our back yard. This was dried and baked in the oven for a while, then crushed and sifted to get rid of the bigger chunks before applied. On top are several layers of various WS ground foam; Fine turf (Weeds and Burnt grass), Blended turf (Earth blend and Green blend) and Coarse turf (Yellow grass):
While the glue is drying, she has started over with the cut on the other side of the trestle. The rock texture was different from the plaster castings, so she's re-doing it with plaster castings on top of the old surface.
