Painting the harbour

It’s a windy day at this harbour today

Wow what a difference adding paint and varnish makes to the harbour scene. It gives a more realistic appearance. I used techniques shown in a harbour video tutorial found in the link below. Lots of great videos here.

Adding a harbour scene.

Having somewhere for the trains to visit adds something extra into the operation of the railway. These docks also add another scene and a small fiddle yard. This fiddle yard is to be continued behind the model yard on a swing up bench/ table.

General Docks layout, the scenery still needs to be undertaken.
