Mocking up a station building


Fen End Pit

562 views

It is so much easier to design a model based on a prototype than to try and work in a vacuum. In this case I was lucky enough to have a friend take a few pictures of various suitable station buildings which I could try and base Empire Basin station on. I've spent a happy few hours counting brick course and have tried to draw up the proposal in TurboCAD. I've stuck pretty much with the original just altered the window sizes very slightly to fit the pile of Brassmasters/ Scalescenes etches I have. I've also replaced the rather functional modern canopy with two doors with a back dated single door.

 

I'll be interested to hear your guesses of the station the photographs were taken of.

I think once I have a canopy on the rail level buildings it will also form a pretty good 'view block' for the entrance to the fiddle yard.

Nice work David - I always create card models of my buildings - (and I use TurboCAD too!) it helps so much with the visualisation of the area, and allows checks to be made that the building is the irght length/width/height for the location. Its cheaper to get it wrong in card thn plastic!

 

Not being an 'Eastern' modeller I'll leave the guessing to others!
