coombe junction - moorswater

The building looks awesome, I can't wait to see it once it's painted!

 

Cheers,

Looking good. I'm planning a small project for the summer once university is finished and hope to achieve industrial buildings with the same look and feel.

 

I'm sure it will look brilliant once it's painted and weathered.

 

Cheers

Well worth all the effort Pete.

Don

Well I am impressed!

Hmmm, I'm wondering if there is a better way to represent the cladding. Can I suggest....

 

Only joking . This looks fantastic. After all your troubles with this (to which some of us generously contributed!) it has come out just right, I think. Superb work Pete!

Really looking forward to seeing the final result, what you have done so far is brilliant!

Excellent, I guess the weathering effects depend enrtirely on the texture of the building below, so it will all be well worth the effort!

 

Good compromise on the open door, open it any further and you would have to model the interior!

Looks like you have found some time to reengage with modelling then. That looks to be turning into a large building. The louvers look good.

Excellent work Pete and worth the perserverence. B)

 

Instantly captures the prototype and there's no doubting what it's based on. Weathering will certainly bring out the detail too.

 

Once you've finished this I guess it will be the trees next-just a few!

 

Now we need a shot of a FL 66 shunting some PCA's.

 

Looking forwards to the next instalment.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Definitely worth ALL the effort on getting this right

Thank you all for your kind comments.

 

Mikkel - Actually, this one is a mock up

 

It is true that many people contributed and this forum is excellent for that - Many thanks all, for all those helpful encouraging comments.

 

It was becoming a bit of a soap opera though, so once I found the right direction, I thought I would just get on with it...rather than share my pain...that said, I do think it is important to document that not everything goes quite as we want it to...all part of the learning process etc...

 

Thanks for staying with me on this one...Episode VI is in preperation

Verrry nice - and looking at the unclad version proves that nakedness is not neccessarily attractive !

Episode VI.... Return of the Cladder !

 

Looking good pete... as has been said above, all the efforst here will really pay off once some paint and weathering is applied.

Ian and Jon,

 

Thanks also for your comments - I am not even sure in which order I work anymore...blog entry after I make the model or model something to suit the blog entry title

 

Short of drain pipes and other bits and pieces I feel its time to get on with the other building now...they are both removable so are easier to work on and I would like to get this board up to the same level as the others so I can start to plan the next level of detail...oh and moorswater viaduct needs attention too...

Episode VI - The Return of the Sith....

 

I had to come out of lurking for this one Pete - well done. It looks very, very good and I am sure the feeling of satisfaction is worth all the time and frustration spent in getting it right.

 

Cheers

Kevin

Thanks a lot Kevin.

 

I know we are shadowing each other courtesy of the 2FS homepage link but for you to scribe again on here after a long spell away makes me v.happy

 

I was hoping you would eventually be drawn to my blog titles...the force is strong...don't try to resist

What the hell is that?

 

Seriously, looks well smart, good stuff.

 

Cheers

Hi Jim,

 

Sorry...only just notice your comment...

 

Many thanks - assume you are referring to the building and not the tittle-tattle banter between other RMWebbers

 

The building represents the former clay dries shed at Moorswater, now used by Blue Circle for cement. Am modelling it as it was circa 1980 so it will look pretty white and dusty when its done.

 

There is a picture of it here taken last year (thanks Mark 46444) and I bought the scriber you recommended but have decided to try and represent the verticals in the painting and weathering process.

 

Next up is the stone building adjacent which should create a nice contrast with this one.

 

Pete
