I fitted each of the seven trees with five 0402 blue LEDs, then painted the tree trunks with Tamiya XF-10 Flat brown paint to hide the wires.
The result is very nice, but will need further adjustment.
Yesterday, I took advantage of the Black Friday promotion and purchased Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (affinity.serif.com/en-gb/). I had to replace my old (2012) Adobe Photoshop Elements application which does not work under macOS Mojave anymore. I will put both applications to good use in the future, but today I just wanted to test the "Focus Merge" feature of Affinity Photo (a function that Photoshop Elements did not have). The result can be found below: Each shot is actually a composite of 5~8 photos taken while focusing at different parts of the scene. It works very well and the result is nice!
I just received two Kato buildings that have just been re-released and should be available again:
I used three pre-wired 0402 LEDs purchased from AliExpress to light that building.
The buildings have been painted using approximately 7/8 Tamiya XF2 White + 1/8 Tamiya XF57 Buff. The doors have been painted with UNI POSCA PC-1M extra-fine silver water-based marker (highly recommended!). Download POSCA catalog here. I didn't like the shape of the center of the Tomix elevated station (which didn't look prototypical), so I cut it off. Not easy. I mostly used an X-ACTO #15 Keyhole Saw Blade and #5 Heavy Duty Plastic Knife. I later covered the holes with Evergreen 1 mm styrene sheets.
One of my preferred "shop" of the Shin-Yukari station: the Starbucks coffee. This is the layout of the Shin-Yukari station, with the station's north and south entrances, and the shops and restaurants (Yoshinoya, 7-11, Café de Crié, Sushi bar, Starbucks Coffee, Uniqlo and JTB). It is based on the Tomix 4046 Overhead Railway Station A (ticket gate) and Tomix 4047 Overhead Railway Station B (with store) (two sets of each). Watch other posts where I describe the construction of each of the shops.
To make lighted sign boards, I glued together six square white LEDs (connected as two groups of three), then added a thin styrene sheet before pasting the signs.
