coombe junction - moorswater - rotary dries cladding - II
Update - Take 3...Whilst Barca paste Madrid 5 - 0 in the background this evening, I have tried out the final (?) option on refining the cladding. Thanks to everyones helpful comments of last week, I have looked at reducing the perceived overlap between the panels and omitted the individual panels. I kept going back to the photos of the dries and despite the weathering of the panels as exists today, which clouds the issue slightly, the horizontal banding seems to be very strongly expressed which I felt should be captured.
Last time I posted a photo of the prototype next to my model I cut my own throat in public so this time a more subtle reference is
this picture from 46444 Mark (thanks) which I hope demonstrates the horizontal nature of the cladding.
To try and reduce the overhang I have used Evergreen .010 x .040 strips laid on double sided tape as thus...
and then horizontal strips laid on individually...
front end elevation...
another view...Barca 3 - 0 at this stage...
Overall, I think it is better - the overhang is visible, but not as much, whilst the individual panels can perhaps be picked out during weathering. I will wake my now rejoicing neighbours tomorrow morning by shaking a can of grey primer again and giving it a light wash to clean it up but in the meantime I would welcome any comments on this and whether it gets a Barca or a Real Madrid
Thank you
