The OO Garden Shed

I did not want to buy ready-made buildings if I could help it, after-all what do you learn about modelling from them. I discovered Metcalfe and liked the look of them. I thought they would be good to get the layout populated relatively quickly. I had actually started building some of them before I had laid any track so that I could measure things up like stations and good sheds etc. The long term plan is to slowly replace the card kits with more "realistic" looking plastic kits etc as I learn more about how to paint them etc. Theres not much to say about building the card kits other than read the instructions carefully before starting anything. I glue them all together with good old Bostik. It can be a bit stringy but on delicate areas like windows etc I apply the glue by using a small pin that I put into the nozzle of the glue tube to collect the glue and transfer the glue to the window or card by rolling the glue covered pin where glue is required.
