ROSSPOP's 7mm modelling saga.....

The roof was removed in 1926  or thereabouts according to Brian Jackson's "The Abbotsbury Branch", but the only photo in the book which shows the roof of the shed is an incidental one, and the shed is out of focus in the distant background. It does however appear to have had a simple roof without any additional clerestories or similar ventilation.

There is a picture in GWR Engine Sheds taken in 1936 when it is almost derelict.

There does however appear to openings in both the gable ends above door height.

...... but in  ` Abbots HellStone`  it had one  rear gable window, new doors and a roof vent.......   

I completed painting the stonework last evening. Here are some first  colour takes of the result before continuing.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday late afternoon.  Difficult time with roof tile colouring....too dark to start with this morning...looked good in the sunlight but not so effective in electric lighting so repainted with lighter colours.      Windows were a sod but are in now. enough for today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow!!....That is very impressive. 

Superb work Rosspop!

 

Halfords grey primer works really well as a base coat for stonework, I used the same basis for my 2mm engine shed.

Thanks all,

 

Going to do some work on the main station platform, so will come back to the shed later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She`s bedded in on the layout but some internal detailing will be needed.
