A Tiler's Work is Never Done


RedgateModels

326 views

Was playing last night arranging the various buildings and completed track on the kitchen floor and it struck me that the roof of the waiting shelter stuck out like a sore thumb being a red/brown tile rather than the grey slate effect that all the other buildings have.

 

So, it was promptly ripped off and replaced with tiling from the station building, that's the beauty of the scalescenes kits - you can just print out a bit here and there.

 

Here's the modified shelter next to the station - much better :D

More track soldering tonight hopefully!

 

UPDATE:

 

Just been looking at the shelter and it occurred to me that with a bit of cut and shut I could add a front with windows so it matches the smaller shelter attached to the station building. Considering that it will face AWAY from the viewing public is it worth the effort?

 

All feedback greatly appreciated :D

Yes it is worth it. Firstly you will probably regret it if you don't, and secondly if you operate the layout from the non-viewing side at any time you will be looking at it and thinking of the first comment!

Just noticed - I've glued the station building shelter roof on the wrong way round, the tiles run the wrong way. Out with the #10A and a new cover layer for the underside methinks :rolleyes:

 

Been looking at the shelter front and there are faint join lines in the cladding, so I can cut at these and hopefully make the join invisible! Should have photos of thr improved shelter next week :D
