For the first bit of actual modelling since having a few days off with the 'flu (had to go for a three day lie-down in the end, much of it spent watching a box set of "Breaking Bad"; (I probably know as much about being a drug producer now as I do about model railway building, but there's much less violence involved with this!) I though I'd work on the barn I started for the corner site farm on Tillingham. I'm glad I left the appropriate outline in the filler used to simulate a muddy farmyard before completing the base, covered with "mucky concrete" paper, the barn itself uses photo quality image of a weathered, unpainted concrete block wall, much used for such buildings in the 1950s-60s, on heavy grey card walls, the roof is Ratio corrugated iron sheet, I made the apex flashing from the same stuff, which while it shows that the sheets are actually a bit too think for scale, looks OK to me, it all needs a bit of filler and some moderate weathering with only a bit of rust as its not supposed to be that old a building, and I will face the fiddly task of gutters and downpipes (with a couple of barrels to catch rainwater possibly) when I feel a bit more focussed. Think it's looking OK.
I can use this as a sample piece of my scratch building when I get along to the club I recently joined, who are building a pretty large exhibition layout, and the fella in charge surprised me by saying after only a couple of visits, "OK you can build a Goods Shed, dimensions are.... off you go!" Gulp. And it has to be pukka LBSCR style too.... Looking forward to the challenge!
