Building a Ratio Type 7 GW Signal box
Today I finally picked up one of Ratio's new type 7 GW signal box intended for "Drayott" (I really should come up with a better name, and rename this blog to differentiate from Uglypug's rather excellent sounding Cheddar project.)
So far I have built the core of the structure, the base could have done with a little more support in the centre to hold the floor in place, but other than that the parts pretty much fell together.
The floor has been put in position on the second photo to ensure the walls are square. it will then be removed to fit the lower windows, post painting the brick.
One disappointing aspect of the kit is the lack of interior, a kit will be purchased shortly to enable it to be finished off!
I have now painted the windows in GW cream, the idea being that I will then cut individual pains of glass from the clear plastic, and flush glaze (thus avoiding the side of the plastic stuck behind the windows getting into the interior.
Hopefully will get the brickwork painted over the next few nights.....
