Nice work - as always! I really like the shots of the RR station.

Tim,

great see your publishing more of your work. Brings things to life superbly. Keep them coming..
All the best,
kip.

Superb lighting and composition. Really evokes the mood of the time and place.

Hi Tim,
Composition, groundwork, and lighting is spot-on ... another WOW moment!

I really like the blown-out opening in the building (last image) — facade from MiniArt 'Russian Street', I'm guessing? — love what you've done with the place!

Thanks gents, just in case anyone thought I only blow stuff up. (Alas a few technical issues have led to abandoning the Czar H-bomb Test dio I had in mind)

Yes Mike, it’s a tribute to MiniArt’s manufacturing quality that the façade’s still standing after several more hits since I took that photo –but a few scale-kilometres out of frame there’s a Hummel battery beginning to find the range…Ep3 next month. (PS how’s the Land Barge going? Wondering how many beers are required before you’re ready to spray that new colour you invented – maybe don’t wear the mask when you do...)
