Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Not much movement in the last few weeks, but started on the roof and the roof detailing (also fitted a couple of lights to the interior)

Oh and after a great deal of searching managed to find some plastic letters of just the right size to allow me to add the name boards at each end just how I wanted them.

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Good to see this project again... even slow progress is a step in the right direction.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Looking good, some deft work with the Dremel by the looks of it.

It's a nice piece of work and looks very close to completion now. Well done.

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Roof detailing done, interior lights on (wish I hadn't bought cheapo battery boxes from eBay!) and the windows completed using a paint pen.

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
That is one heck of a build, gives me inspiration to build something.

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Pretty much done, the last of the detailing completed this week.
and then today finished off with a little bit of weathering, just need a lacquer coating and then we'll be ready to put outside!
Thinking of writing up the build process and maybe this time firing off to Garden Rail (my church build went to 16mm and to be honest the build process has been pretty much the same as that has stood up to the weather really well!)

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Well done Planty!
That is a great piece of work with some excellent detail. I'm sure you're rightly proud of it. The work must all seem worthwhile now it's got to this stage.

Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
That does look good and well worthy of a write up. Nice modelling.
Re: New Project : Stanley Signal Box
Great model - love the lighting and the homely feel it has - you can imagine the loco drivers on slow freights stopping at the box on the premise of checking on something with the signaller, just to pop inside, have a natter and a brew!
Where did I put that uncoupler?
