Some staircase sides.

This is one of those things that I thought might be straightforward, but which tripped me up a bit. This is the third go at making the sides up for the stairs from the station building to the platform. The first two attempts somehow didn't have the right proportions and I wasn't happy with the angles somehow.

 

I don't have any sort of drawing to work with so I have been taking drawings and photos from similar CR stairs and condensing the design taking into consideration features which tended to show up in buildings designed by Miller. Sounds a bit clever, in reality its a case of squinting at things and doing a best guess about how it would be.

 

Actually this is the best photo I have of the one I'm trying to model, though its much later on timewise , certainly open to a bit of interpretation;

Anyway, slow progress, but this is how they have turned out so far. I'm happy enough with them to push on and try building the whole structure up a bit.

Looks very good, Dave. Certainly not much to go on with that photo - but that means no one can prove you wrong either :-)

True Mikkel. The photo is from the 1950s I think, the columns were whitewashed to stop folk walking into them in the blackout.
