Spring In The Model Railway, But No One's Manufacuring Forsythia

Remember spring! What was the eyecatcher after those dark grey days? Those light yellow bushes!!
But I looked throu the catalogs I saw many bushes but I noticed no forsythia. So I tried this.
I took electic kabel, not the one with one stiff wire, the one with some thin wires inside. I removed the insolation except to 5mm. The rest of insolation holds the wires together. After the insolation is removed turn the wires apart. Now insert the wires in glue - best is PONAL - and during remove put it in yellow static gras flock - here in Germany you can get artificially colored sawdust - if there are some white spots of glue, scatter yellow stuff over it. It looks like a real forsythia, see the photo.

PONAL is made by HENKEL. It  is a white glue. You can get it in the biggest normal pack - it's a pott of 760 gram.

Cheap Lamppost Selfmade

August,11th,2011

I saw today that the manufacture BUSCH is also available in UK.

They sell a dubble pack with lamps (with LED's) No. 4133 which are ordinary used as walllamps. I took  a toothpick or wooden barbecue stick as lamppost and put it with cyanoacrylate adhesive togther. The result shows the photo.
