Really!

I'd established a method for construction of the station buildings. You think I'd stick to that? Not a bit of it!

The remainder of the station (seen furthest away in the preceding entry) seems to be of a later and simpler construction than the main block. It was before I'd released it, that I was picking out various pieces of card stock (not plastic card) and commencing on construction of the extension.

I do love modelling with card; so much more satisfying than plastic and usually easier too.

The profiles were cut from dividing cards and adorned with brick paper. This time the adhesive is Pritt Stick:

Window openings (and doors) were treated by folding back the paper to create returns. Now I only need colour the top and bottom as part of the lintel/sill:

Structural integrity is gained using mounting card as inner floors and walls. It is a little too thick for external walls. With this method, plain walls may be added and trimmed post construction. A strip of brick paper will be added where the first floor wall rises above the inner yard and the lean-to that will be in that yard. Similarly brick paper for the inner walls for the yard will be inserted fairly soon:

If I have one criticism of the Howard Scenics paper, then it is the quality of the paper itself. The printing and colouring is lovely, but the paper isn't quite up to the standard of Builder Plus. The extension will butt against the main block. Despite their differing construction methods, I think they will sit okay together:
