A few pages back I showed a low relief structure made from a cut down Pendle Valley engine shed. This was to be another warehouse just to fill in the end of a line of buildings behind my quay area. In the beginning I was not too impressed with the way it looked but I carried on anyway. Now it's fini...

Well done again Andrew, the detail edging blue diamond bricks are so typically 'railway' in appearance and must have adorned so many railway structures, yards and paving at one time. Do be careful with the lifting, I have recently had an MRI scan on my damaged back which has been painful since March...

Hi Andrew, you are so kind with your praise and I thank you most sincerely. I am am making an effort with this building as I am testing out new techniques. When finished it will be an important part of my village scene with other structures around it. I have just been searching for a typical country...

Well I managed to put a few hours in last night and have painted the ground floor entrance with brown timbers, dry-brushed to give a grained effect and put the final coat of white on the panels. ./myff/2023813/IMG_4190.JPG ./myff/2023814/IMG_4193.JPG ./myff/2023815/IMG_4194.JPG The first floor has a...

I painted the front of my cottage today..... but..... it was the one I live in, not the model one! No matter what you say there is no way you can convince the other half that model building should be given priority. Admittedly the weather was perfect for the task so I can't complain about spending a...

A little more to report today.... the two clock faces are now in position..... ./myff/2023314/IMG_4186.JPG The black surrounds look less striking than the original shiny silver and the faces now sport a GWR logo (disguising the quartz lettering). I can justify this by saying the B.U.R. was at one ti...

The watches I bought came from China, freepost, and cost £2.84 each. They are still available but now priced £3.59 .... ebay... 121595581013 Whilst looking for these I have now discovered others with Roman numerals which I think I would have preferred and possibly better for you too? These are price...

You are right Rik, I have already been looking at a suitable site underneath my harbour scene to build storage shelves and protect them with a door to match the existing panelled frontage. At the moment I can just about manage but for the winter, and with new buildings already planned, I will soon b...

In my thread I mentioned the purchase of two pocket watches from China. They are new, post free and cost less than £3. each! ./myff/2023109/IMG_4171.JPG The idea is to fit them in my clock tower.... ./myff/2023110/IMG_4098.JPG ./myff/2023111/IMG_4173.JPG This is just to see them in position, since t...

The Market Hall has to be plastered between the timbers so have been thinking of ways to achieve this. I must admit to making this method up as I go along as I have never attempted it before. Firstly I scratched the plasticard surface with a Stanley knife blade to give a key, then painted a generous...
