That looks very suitable. The little office/bothey/kharzi makes a huge difference.

I like it, corrugated roof required!

[Peter Butler]

That works.... fills the space and serves a purpose at the same time. Perhaps substitute a window for the side door behind the motorcycle?

[philipy]

I like it. Agree with Peter about the window, though.

[bazzer42]

Thought the same whilst walking the dogs, two windows no door! Horizontal or vertical planks, current preference is horizontal.

[Big Jim]

Definitely horizontal. I understand that the reason that planks are set horizontal in a building is to make it easier to keep rain water out.

[Peter Butler]

Horizontal planking with substantial corner support framing looks heavy duty (to me) so should be most convincing....

Personally I'd say horizontal would look best, but then they would really need to be shiplap to look right. Whereas vertical could be T & G and would only need V-scribing.

[bazzer42]

Going a bit vertical after looking at pictures of Sand Hutton and Duffield Bank. Not helping is the fact Mr Chop saw ( my best mate) could trim the angles at the end if upright.

[LNR]

Here in Australia it would definitely be vertical corrugated iron roof and walls, with the potential fire risk and all.

Brilliant shed in the making Derek, what about having a little bit more overhang for the bike...were do you buy your bikes, cars, lorries and such from please...i have been on eBay and i can’t seem to find anything in 1.19th scale.

[bazzer42]

Rod, not sure what to suggest for vehicles. There was somebody on eBay selling cars but they used to come in batches I.e. 20 would appear on a 30 day listing and then some more at another time. Pdf models are trying to do a 3d printed Bedford lorry. Peter B seems to come up trumps at swapmeet type events.

Even trickier in 7/8th! The only things I have found are the Airfix wallace, grommet and shaun vehicles. The A35 van is nice but holds a good price on eBay you may notice the registration on Keith the apprentice's tiger cub is WAL1 Even that was a tenner partially started

It's always a compromise and the Airfix models are on the large side but its what your eye can live with I guess.

[FWLR]

Thanks Derek, will just have to keep on looking and see what i can find and hopefully they are the correct scale, but if not i am not too bothered, i like the way garden modellers do their own thing and don’t care about all the rivet counters of other scale modellers....

Been watching a new Regner Konrad in Germany at €680 v a used one from the UK at £450 (And rising) on eBay. The old dog woke us early and the first message on the tablet "seller has dropped price by €100". To help maintain good relations with our European neighbours I had too. I guess this little avenue of pleasure will be closed if we have to start paying import duties. Who cares? I'm alright Jack. (Konrad)

[tom_tom_go]

Regners make good 7/8ths locos due to their size, enjoy!

[FWLR]

Looks great Derek, lets have some photos of her running soon...

[Big Jim]

Well it would rude not to try and improve relationships when they offer things like this really.

[bazzer42]

Anglo-German relations may have improved but husband and wife faltered a little when I saw the bank loaded a twenty quid charge for using debit card through PayPal Lesson to self - transfer the money to your PayPal account and pay nothing extra.

I liked the use of the word bothy Jim in a previous post and may knock up a small shelter as a trial run for techniques for the engine shed. I've even invested £2 in a school boy helix set to get my hands on another plastic protractor ....there is one in the garage, somewhere

You shouldn't need to transfer money into your PayPal account as even with insufficient funds any balance will be automatically taken from your current account with no additional charges.

Might be to do with different currencies?

You should contact PayPal.
