With the colder weather I have not had the chance to make it
outside, so I have been doing projects inside.
Mary and I have gathered quite a collection of G-scale figures which seem to be scattered in every room of the house. I needed
to get them stored together safely so that arms, legs and
heads did not keep breaking off. Originally, I had some
of our favourite figures in a tool chest. This became too
cumbersome to take outside so I found some soft fishing bags
with tackle trays.
Making the cubicals large enough to hold figures, I grouped
simular figures together and labelled the trays.
Joining the top bag to the straps of the bottom bag I can
throw both sets on my shoulders and have all my people with
me when I do a photoshoot.
Another project I have been working on is adding reflective
tape to the lovomotives and rolling stock. Checking out all
the local hardware stores I was able to find yellow
reflective tape.
Referencing pictures of different rolling stock, I cut the tape into strips and applied it to my cars.
For the locomotives I covered the entire running board with
reflective tape making sure to cut around the existing decals.
I think this makes everything more prototypical and
reflective tape catches the light during flash photography.
