Vale of Fairway
Re: Vale of Fairway
Treated myself to some printed goodies and managed to clean up and then dirty a couple of Jerry cans.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Love it great looking building
Re: Vale of Fairway
Derek, look at some old photos of corrugated roofs and sides of buildings and you may find that the sheets are all over the place sometimes and even bodged up repairs. So don’t worry too much about cockup’s mate, there seems to much emphasise on getting the correct scale nowadays…it’s your line Derek and you have and do what you what on it… :thumb right: :thumb right:
Your buildings look brilliant for me..

Re: Vale of Fairway
I have cut individual planks for the lift out panels but think the coarse grain might look better painted.

Very nice Derek.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Both , look really good, Derek. Be interested to see if/when the iron filing rust breaks through on the corrugated roof.

Re: Vale of Fairway
The roof is starting to break out in rust. The deck of the wagon has failed the Mrs B quality control check so some b and q planks have been cut for a base. At least the sides and floor are consistent. Trying to use basswood against the grain was probably doomed but I can line the bothy when I get back to it.
Re: Vale of Fairway
I think Mrs B has been proved correct. Who says I have no sense of houmous?

Re: Vale of Fairway
The end pieces will get recycled onto a skip bulkhead but generally feeling cross with myself. There is just enough wood to cut new ends so here's to Monday.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Don't feel too bad, when I make cock ups they are normally on a Sunday so then I have to wait until next weekend before I can do anything about it so it just annoys me all week at work!
Good idea to recycle, I tend to find a life for failed attempts eventually or they just end up as lineside junk.

Re: Vale of Fairway
Don’t worry too much Derek, just see how it looks when you have the ends on and take it from there mate.bazzer42 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 8:12 pm 20180708_201006.jpg
Cock ups a plenty today. I managed to cut my side panel support posts too short and also the end pieces are too short.

Re: Vale of Fairway
All part of learning. Ive had more than my share! I'm currently having a go at building my own wagons too and am on my third attempt! So far looking ok, but still a long way to go and plenty of time for the cock up factor to apply.bazzer42 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 8:12 pm 20180708_201006.jpg

Re: Vale of Fairway
Very good Derek, the wagons I mean
On the wagon mate, can you not put a small coffee stirrer strip to the join in the middle of the wagon, at least then it would hide the gaps there. Just a thought mate.
