Thanks very much Peter, So glad you enjoyed it Cheers Gormo

Thank you Tony Cheers Gormo

G`day Gary, Thanks very much for your comments. The planning took about a week and most of that was concerned with working out how to use a Green Screen and software. Once I got my head around that, I could then see the potential and set about working on the flow of the presentation. In my opinion, back scenes add considerably to the look of a model railway, so that`s my approach to the subject. Good old Saffron Walden...what a lovely spot....enjoy your coffee Cheers Gormo

Thanks Muso Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Gormo

G`day Barry and thanks mate....👍 I will do it again....this was part one......it took a bit of planning and I had to learn my way around setting it up and the software as well. That said.....it will be easier next time around because I don`t have to learn all that stuff again. So glad you enjoyed the presentation. Cheers Gormo

G`day John, Thanks very much for your comments and your observations Cheers from Mini Me ( Gormo )

G`day Phil, Thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Gormo

G`day Duncan and thanks for your comments. Cheers Gormo

Thanks Andrew, When do I start ??? Cheers Gormo

G`day Pete, Glad you enjoyed the show. Cheers Gormo

G`day Ken and thanks for you comments and observations You`ve solved the mystery of the barrels......thanks for that....those parking clots have been sorted.! Cheers Gormo

G`day Mick and thanks for your comments Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Gormo

G`day Vincent and thank you for your comments and observations. I think photographic back scenes help greatly to enhance the depth of a model railway, especially if they lead your eye off into the distance. I guess the trick is to blend the foreground into the background to suggest it is all one scene. There is a lot of trial and error sometimes just to get it close to being right. Cheers Gormo

G`day Dennis and thank you, I just keep trying to push the envelope with this hobby and my videos......never give up and just keep going for it. Cheers Gormo

G'day Frank, Good to hear from you and thanks for your comments. This style of presentation on KZfaq is possibly unique....not sure...but we'll have to see if anyone else has a go Cheers Gormo

Thanks Patrick, Try 8:05 am...????...or 8:05 pm daylight saving..???? Or maybe the clock has indeed stopped...it`s a mystery and maybe we`ll never know Cheers Gormo

G`day Dinmore, Thank you, I usually take close up pics of my projects anyway, so why not take it one step further and do something a bit different. ? It may not be everybody`s cup of tea, but who cares.....I`ll keep working on it as an alternative style of presentation. Cheers Gormo

Thanks Richard for your comments The angles and depth all just evolved as it went along and turned out as you see it today Cheers Gormo

Thanks Michael, Yes the green screen is good once you get your head around the software. Glad you enjoyed the presentation Cheers Gormo

G`day Terry and thank you. Going in close for me also shows the faults, but I guess that`s what happens to all of us who build models.? Cheers Gormo

Thanks James, Your grandson is very creative and his videos are good to watch. I will show my little grandsons his videos because I`m sure they will enjoy them. All the best to you both Gormo

@greatchesterfordjunction we're pleased you've enjoyed watching them and we're pleased you enjoyed them. Hopefully, your grandson will also enjoy them as well. Thank you for the kind comments... take care, James 🙂👍

Thank you afm, Glad you enjoyed the presentation Cheers Gormo

G`day Paul and thanks for your comments. I have not yet seen any working clock faces for OO scale, however it should be possible if one could find a small cheap watch. It could be a nightmare to change the battery though.? The space around the corner may have been vacant, however you see, by posing the question, the cameo has indeed done it`s job by making us think....." Why did he park on the footpath ?" I have been to Great Chesterford twice and my model is nothing like it at all I`m afraid. GC now is mostly residential without even a local shop now. The pub has become a restaurant and I think the locals like it that way, preferring to go to Saffron Walden for their shopping needs. I have a family connection to GC so have purely used the name only for my model.......same applies to Little Bardfield.....artistic license The Union Mills sign came with the Metcalfe warehouse kit and seemed appropriate. With the tricycle and cars and indeed trains....I just buy what I like whether they are correct or not. I`m glad you like the layout and you`re welcome to visit if you are ever in this neck of the woods. Cheers Gormo

G`day Barry and thanks very much Cheers Gormo

Thank you Cheers Gormo

Thanks David, And thanks for the invitation Cheers Gormo

Thank you Cheers Gormo

Thanks Pete, Glad you like it Cheers Gormo

Thanks Alec, Yes I thought people would find it different. Actually I`m not sure if anybody else has ever done it this way before.? Cheers Gormo

Thank you Garth, Glad you liked it Cheers Gormo

G`day Andrew, Thanks for your comment. The figures are a mixture with most of them being Bachmann Scenecraft, however there are some Dapol figures which required hand painting. I also mix in some Preiser ( HO ) figures for variety. Preiser do a very good range of figures and even though they are smaller than OO figures they can be easily placed so you can`t tell the difference. After all, people in the real World are not all the same size and shape. Cheers Gormo

Thanks Brendan Cheers Gormo

G`day Jason, Thanks for your comments. Mini Gormo, or should I say Mini Me, was done with a Green Screen......an el cheapo product from our local Kmart ( 20 bucks ) I video myself in front of the Green Screen and then place that video on top of an image in my video editing software ( Lightworks ) The Green Screen image then has two video effects placed into it. One called DVE which is a size and position effect and the second effect is called Chromakey, which allows you to remove the green background showing Gormo on top of the underlying image. Gormo`s size and position can then be manipulated with DVE to turn him into Mini Gormo and placed wherever he is required. Sounds complicated but it`s easy once you get your head around it. I have the Green Screen strung across one end of my workshop. The screen is lit from both sides to cancel out shadows. My video camera is on a tripod facing me, and next to that is my phone on a second tripod. The phone has the images on it that I wish to comment on, so it makes it easier for me to work out which direction I must be facing and what I should be pointing at. Some of the areas in the town are hard to get at to film, so I`m using a small Nikon Coolpix to take some of the still pictures. Hope this helps Cheers Gormo

@@greatchesterfordjunction Thanks, Gormo. Much appreciated. Best, Jason.

Thanks Dave, Glad you liked it Cheers Gormo

G`day RGJ, Yes I`m using an el cheapo Green Screen I got from our local Kmart.....20 bucks. ! It came with a tripod set up which was just crap, so instead of using the tripod, I set up the cloth in my shed like a curtain ,making sure it`s secured at all four corners to avoid it flapping around in the breeze. The images are transformed in Lightworks video editing software. The tripod has been converted into a boom for filming and lighting. So overall a piece of crap has turned into something quite useful. Cheers Gormo
