That's 9 wagons, 1 vehicle, 3 figures, 12 Drystone wall sections and 3 building projects finished during the heatwave! I can get back to the layout once things cool off tomorrow.

With the heatwave kicking off, I've had to migrate from the railway room but I'm taking the opportunity to work through custom wagons that have been lingering in my project drawer. Made cracking progress tonight and should have a lot finished and ready to play with come the end of next week!

Calling All Railway Series Artists!
I can do modelling, but I suck at art. I am planning a RWS-themed special video for which I'd like some RWS-style art for, so I wanted to see if anyone used to making art this style could lend a hand!
If you're interested, please get in touch with me!

I think it's time to acknowledge the most toxic trait I developed during COVID/lockdown was collecting (mostly) limited edition wagons. I now have over 150 and can only fit 12 on my layout at any one time...
...and there's still more on my pre-orders and wishlist.
