Good afternoon,
This will be the second blog for me in a week!! Not bad going !!
Just thought I would update on the progress of the station building. I have now strengthened the structure with some extra card along the centre of the building which has now made it a little more sturdy.
I have also made the doors from artists paper. As these doors are panelled, I first cut out the panelled areas and then glued a second sheet of artists paper behind to represent this, and they have now been positioned into place. I have studied numerous photos online and come to the conclusion that the doors were painted red towards the end of the 80's so this is my chosen colour. Although I may need to tone it down a bit as it has dried a little like "post office red"!!
The windows have all been fitted made from a sheet of transparent plastic, scribed using a template for each window drawn onto a sheet of A4, and white paint added to the grooves to represent the frames.
The station roof still needs redoing as it is too small.
Here are a few progress pics. Hopefully, it is looking a bit more like Par and not some derelict structure as per the photos in my last entry!!

As always, any comments are welcome.
Best regards,
Jeremy
