While I'm waiting for the flint effect to dry on the pub build I might just as well get started on another project. Of the Pendle Valley resin kits I acquired I still have a few parts left over, some ends from the station building and one side from the engine shed. I have decided to make a small cor...

Grant, the market hall was once a familiar site in many towns in the UK from as early as 16th century. They were built to house both indoor and outdoor traders selling goods. Upstairs in the covered market, often wool and other more valuable commodities were traded, also assizes and religious meetin...

Peter, How did you do the diamond leaded lights in the 1st floor windows? The diamond effect is made from placing clear acrylic sheet (at 45 degrees) on graph paper and running a Stanley knife blade along every line in both directions. This side is then placed on the inner of the window reveal and ...

Piotr, thank you for the feedback, I'm glad your wife likes my work too. All of my structures are made from my own imagination, but based on genuine architectural styles and with regard to structural practicalities. I am neither engineer nor architect but I like to think that I have made enough obse...

Despite the terrible forecast and the storms which have hit further east from me, the weather has been very pleasant here today giving an opportunity to remove the various non-permanent railway structures into their new storage. Luckily I still have some spare capacity but doubt that will last very...

Hi Piotr, in answer to your question about painting individual stones, I can only say that I must lead a sad and lonely life, spending hours on end sitting with a paintbrush and paints and a bottle of red wine! The stones are made from embossed plastic and are quite well defined. Once the primer is ...

Piotr, apologies if my description was ambiguous, I'm not clever enough to paint three colours simultaneously, I paint one colour at a time on random stones followed by a second and then a third. However, at school, I was able to write 'lines' with three pens taped together whilst serving my, all t...

Thank you for your comments Piotr, I can see you are getting much satisfaction from your railway. There can be no perfect weather conditions for outdoor modelling no matter where you live. I can put up with the wet here and enjoy the dry all the more when (occasionally) I get the chance. I would not...

There are some general enquires about Plastikard (HIP) on other threads and I can show you some of the uses I have for the material during the construction of another structure to go in my village. As yet I am undecided as to whether it will eventually become the village pub or just a private dwelli...
