blog-0668699001358518931.jpgWell it's been a long time coming, but here are some pics of the finished William Clarke station building. Its painted using Humbrol and Railmatch enamel paints, with the colour being built up in a number of washes and then followed by some dry brushing. I followed the discussion on the forum about GWR window colours in the Edwardian period with great interest. I found the evidence presented highly convincing, so have consequently painted the windows chocolate. To my eyes the black and white pictures look quite convincing, I'd be glad to hear what others think!

In best "Yellow Brick Road" tradition, here are a few pictures in glorious Technicolour!

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed making the thing! My next project is to build a matching William Clark style goods shed, if anyone's got any pictures or plans of such a beastie, I'd love to hear from them!

 

Best wishes

Hi Dave,
 

The building is up to the fine standard of your 4mm work!

Only this time, I can see it better ;)

 

Yes, we are accustomed to seing pictures of such structures in B&W

but I'm glad you posted those colour piccies too....
I think you've got the brickwork colour spot on

 

Great stuff, and yes, I think there are plans for Abbotsbury G/S in GWR branchline termini,
by Paul Karau....

 

Although, it would be nice to match the station building, and make it from brick,
rather than the stone I think Abbotsbury was built from?

 

Cheers again

Marc

I love the application of the early GWR structure colours, it looks spot on for the period photos with dark window sashes and doors.

Thanks David, glad you like my interpretation of the colours:-). I must admit I was inspired by your findings in the "questions" section on RMWeb regarding GWR Edwardian buildings.

 

Best wishes
