Some more work this time on the Sun class locomotive Lance that was at Wycombe in July 1862 with bogie class Homer.

Two years on from my last post decided to make a start on making the station as I have now brought myself a laser cutter. Trying to get the flint infill I have gone for printed flint on textured paper glued to 1mm wood then inlaid into the laser cut brickwork, as the flint is flush with the brickwork.

I have been experimenting with the best way to paint laser cut brick, I had used water colour pencils but I was still not 100 per cent happy, So brought some very cheep acrylic paint in tubes £10 for 30 tubes from the works and used these to build up the colour by dry brushing a mix of bright orange and burnt sienna, I thick the result look ok, photo of the real thing and my model which is 4mm scale.
