Lineside Delights small station
Well I've been busy doing the first modelling for years and my first ever 16mm model building My wife bought this for me at the Llanfair show in 2009 and only now have I made a start!
I've used car filler on the corner joints, but I found the roof panels to be too small as I wanted a good overhang
so I glued on the roof with a gap at the top and used carboard as a mould for more car filler
top of roof filled
slates carved on top of roof and chimney fitted
Icut the ridge tile section into 20mm pieces as I did not want them to look too straight
It's taken many hours to build this (I'm very fussy ) but I've loved doing it!
More to come later!

Thanks The painting was easy really, I just sprayed it with grey car primer, then I was very lucky in finding some acrylic paints for £1 each in a craft shop in Llandudno I just mixed up different shades of grey and painted it in front of the telly. The canopy had brass and whitemetal parts so I used an etch primer on it (some car stuff I bought years ago and it stinks ) which I brushed on. I've never used these acrylic paints before but they are a delight to use
I need to protect it with a matt acrylic varnish, where can I get that from?
I still have to make a permenent notice board, this one is just thick paper held on with bluetac. The posters are genuine FR by the way!
