And now for something completely different... Squiffy's other models

[WarrenD]

Squiffy, your figures do look great, and I think you'll enjoy this end of the "recreating history in miniature" end of the hobby. I loved playing miniatures-based wargames back in the day, wish I still had a club nearby to do it with.

Please keep posting updates like this.

Hello, chaps!

I'm still on a break from aircraft modelling, except for an Albatros I have been messing with, and thought you may like to see the progress on my new railway.

The railway is set in Yorkshire, England in the 1960s and represents a coal mine screens (where the coal was cleaned, graded and loaded into railway wagons) and engine shed.

Building the shed and environs.


The other end.

Quite a range of modeling, Squiffy!  I am very impressed with your
interests and abilities.  I enjoy seeing your work on Railway subjects
as I spent most of my working life on the 1:1 scale.  Your lit locomotive
shop is a great picture and as usual the detail is grand, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie

First class modelling - especially the tools scene and the rest area where the details are superb..

You are doing an amazing job with your railway scene, as others have said the workshop with furnace and anvil, workbench and tools is simply superb.

Lovely modelling Squiffy - very evocative of the real thing, just need some smoke aroma and you'd think you were there 

Though I've never had anything to do with model railways I do enjoy seeing what others do with them. I visit the Southwold show most years and whilst the big layouts are very impressive it's the small 'diorama' type that appeals the most. I remember one on my last visit - a 00 gauge layout no more than about 2 ft x 2ft 6" of a coaling yard. Absolutely superb modelling and weathering in such a small space and a working model too. I can well appreciate your interest 

Keep up this great work and keep on showing it too
