Found that by sending the photos in a message to myself on Facebook, they were compressed enough to upload.

I'm trying to bulk out the 'village' with quick to build buildings as I do not enjoy building houses or shops when compared to working scenery like the coal mine.

Laser cut shell...

I had a tin of paint that had been accidentally left outside for a couple of winters and I think had been frosted which led to it being full of lumps which gave a good rough finish.

A coat of paint and further detailing. It's called the Iron Bridge as it looks out over the bridge across the access door on the railway.

Nicely done..... indoor modelling allows you to use materials which wouldn't withstand outdoor conditions and you have made good use of them. The proposed buildings alongside will add to the variety of styles found in most street scenes.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
