The starting point

Now I have finished the pub.

 

I added the roof using the slate roof textures from Scalescenes. They are printed on 100 gsm Rice Paper from Hahnemühle. This paper has a fine nice texture. Chimneys are from the kit of Petite Properties. They have the brick paper I used for the pub. Roof flashing is from Scalescenes. The chimney pots from Dart Castings, painted using Vallejo and AK modelling paints.

 

I also added a small yard entrance at the right side of the pub.

And of course, the Pub has its own history:

 

The pub, is geographically the nearest to The Great Eastern in Bridge Street.

 

The Station was first recorded in 1853 in Kelly’s Directory. The pub had several licensees.
Now (1959) the pub is owned by Billy Kelly, who refurbished The Station and opened it with Elizabeth Turner as licensee, featuring local musical talents as variety. Sadly, lack of experience meant that it struggled financially and its future looks not good.

 

The diorama is not yet finished. I must build a next building on the right side of the pub. I will keep you informed about the progress of that one.

 

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

 

Regards,

 

Job

"Hello dear, I'm calling from the station. I'll be home late as there are delays in the service again".

 

Lovely work, Job. Modelu has some musicians for you! (although of course we wouldn't be able to see them!).

 

Thanks for the reference to Hanemühle paper. For those of us not used to card and paper modelling it is not easy to know what brands to use.

Service was great, but there was sometimes a lack of costumers. See also the note Elizabeth has left for the owner of the pub Billy Kelly:

 

" Unfortunately, I have received a cancel for Saturday evening on 29 August from our local band the Captains.

They will play at the Great Eastern pub in Bridge Street. That evening there is also a rock and roll demonstration there.

We must do it with the jukebox once again.

Elizabeth"
