Brackhampton - A busy Easter

Just a few photos to show progress. The main front has been built up and glued in place, along with the main concourse entrance and one of the other decorative porches. The central entrance to the old hotel has been started and I've started building up the porticos on the ends (well one at least). I'm simplifying these - the original had three rows of columns, This would have looked a bit squashed on the model and so I've gone for two. I've also decided to remove some of the detritus that had collected on the front. By the time the building was demolished three newsagents kiosks had been added to the exterior. As they do add interest - I think I'll only model one, but thats a long way off.

 

More work to do tomorrow, including trying to make corinthian style capitals for the columns from milliput. By the way the larger columns are probably going to be cartridge pen refills.

 

Apologies for some of the fuzzy pictures but I was trying to take them without the flash as it shows up my over zealous use of glue.

 

Happy Easter everyone.

That's an amazingly ambitious station you're building! I found it fascinating to read your blog and look forward to seeing it when complete. I also found the cut and spliced coach building sequence interesting, too. Now my WR branch terminus is almost complete, my thoughts are turning to kitbuilding/bashing suitable stock.
