Nothing to say really, other than - looks fab, keep on with it!

Those windows look superb. The colours on the doors - it's so subjective. I wonder if the dark stone should be more reddish/orange, but that's just my interpretation.

The difference in hue between Precision and Railmatch's interpretation of dark stone is really quite dramatic. On balance I think I prefer the more orangey Precision but I'd hate to say which is the more authentic.

I think you are probably right and a "warmer" colour is needed on the dark stone. I'm hoping a little judicious dry brushing with an orangey/pink, will help!

Great work, this is going to be a real beauty when complete! As the paint colours were usually mixed on site and as we can see different people see colour differently some variation is more realistic.

Beautiful modelling. Just gets better each time.

 

The valance/awning project sounds like it's going to be interesting.

 

Cheers,

Dave,

 

Just love the windows. Having one sash open adds realistic variety. The whole building is really coming along very nicely. Difficult to say what I think of the "Dark Stone", I prefer the Precision Paints version personally, but I do think that colours are very subjective, even more so when seen on a photo rather than in the flesh, especially when viewed on a computer (laptop) screen as the orientation of the screen can alter the colours too.

 

 

I look forward to seeing further progress on the build as the William Clarke station buildings are a particular favourite of mine.

Hi Ian, glad to hear you like William Clarke buildings too, I'm not exactly sure what it is that I like so much, but they do have a definite charm about them. Glad you spotted the open sash window, although more fiddly to make I think they help add atmosphere.

 

Thanks for your interest
