Tom's station building

[tom_tom_go]

I have used large domed rivets for door knobs, they can be chemically blackened!

[Andrew]

The doorknob on this one's a pin pinched from the sewing drawer. There's a name for them I think, but I've forgotten what it it...

No, no plans to add lighting Rod, I wouldn't inflict my electrics on Tom! The roof will be removable though, so the inside could be detailed and illuminated at a later date.

Cheers,

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew and Tom, both great ideas....

Love that design.

Very sharp looking station building. Any more progress on it since the last post? (Forgive me but I am just very curious to the end result )

Not much progress, but I stuck the corrugated roof on last week... It just needs a little filling and sanding and it'll be ready for painting, but that'll be by spray can, so I'll need to wait for better weather...

Cheers,

Andrew.

Spray cans at the ready here too, waiting for the better weather.

If I know you Andrew, it will be painted with the same excellent skill you used on my wagons.

Hi folks,

Having completed a few details and undertaken a little filling and sanding, yesterday evening it was finally dry and warm enough to start painting. It was a little windy in my favoured spraying position on the front path, and I only narrowly avoided spraying both my trousers and the car, but I managed to apply several coats of Plasticote primer:

The window frames have been removed temporarily - the type I'm using are great like that, very convenient for painting. It did occur to me that a ticket office type window might look good in the office part of the building, but that wouldn't be in keeping with the original so I've resisted the temptation...

If the weather holds I'll try to start getting the top coats on over the next few days - a sort of beigey-cream I'm afraid, not lurid Hornby yellow!

Cheers,

Andrew.

That is really coming along well.

[RobRossington]

Oh that’s lovely!

[tom_tom_go]

It certainly looks like the Hornby R500 station halt I had as a kid now in 1:19 scale!

Wunderbar!
I like the little details such as the bolts holding the corrugated sheets down on the roof!

Those are made from... you've guessed it... nail art gems!
