That is really looking the biz! Bit of weathering, and rust on the lower edges of the sheets and job done.
No, and I'm not sure what your cock up was even with knowing there is something to look for?

A most satisfactory result.... that should fulfil your vision of what it would look like when complete.

It looks good to me too. I can't see any cock ups. A bit of weathering on the roof and you'll be able to sit back and admire your handiwork.

I like it.

It just gets better and better!

Half an hour with some nail art rivets and we have nailed panels. Painted and some iron powder underneath to hopefully breakout in rust at some point.

Treated myself to some printed goodies and managed to clean up and then dirty a couple of Jerry cans.

Petrol cans on a roof, boom...

The roof looks great!

Love it great looking building

Derek, look at some old photos of corrugated roofs and sides of buildings and you may find that the sheets are all over the place sometimes and even bodged up repairs. So don’t worry too much about cockup’s mate, there seems to much emphasise on getting the correct scale nowadays…it’s your line Derek and you have and do what you what on it… :thumb right: :thumb right:

Your buildings look brilliant for me..

Looking better and better Derek

A bit of progress on the Fairway style type C . A styrene base using evergreen I channel and some 1mm black plasticard. The wooden base is scribed basswood that I hope will weather once stuck to the plasticard. Not sure how to pivot the skips but where there is a will......

I have cut individual planks for the lift out panels but think the coarse grain might look better painted.

Very nice Derek.

Both , look really good, Derek. Be interested to see if/when the iron filing rust breaks through on the corrugated roof.

One step forward etc

The roof is starting to break out in rust. The deck of the wagon has failed the Mrs B quality control check so some b and q planks have been cut for a base. At least the sides and floor are consistent. Trying to use basswood against the grain was probably doomed but I can line the bothy when I get back to it.

Perfect!

I think Mrs B has been proved correct. Who says I have no sense of houmous?

Pitta you didn't do it right first time!

Come on you smiled...

If we had a like button.......

Well that's all Greek to me...

Cock ups a plenty today. I managed to cut my side panel support posts too short and also the end pieces are too short.

The end pieces will get recycled onto a skip bulkhead but generally feeling cross with myself. There is just enough wood to cut new ends so here's to Monday.
