Greyhound Place

I think I have finally completed the buildings at Greyhound Place, Bermondsey. This is the collection of buildings next to the Greyhound Pub at the Eastern end of Bricklayers Arms c1845. I've slightly tweaked the date of the layout by a year as I want things to show signs of settling in, and it allows a bit more artistic licence when it comes to the rolling stock.

 

These images show the back yards, there are only a couple of children to add and a few bits of general domestic 'stuff' then we're about done. A couple of tin baths would look about right, and maybe a basket of more washing, although I have to admit, I don't think the maid at no.3 has done a very good job!

 

The next step is to complete the Greyhound Bridge and then move west with the cattle yard and stables.

 

I'll post some pictures of the fronts once I've given No.7 a front step.

I have to agree with kitpw, I've not seen this standard of modelling in a long time and there's so much of it. Some really nice details, the broken roof tiles, clothes pegs. Brilliant stuff.

Thanks folks! I have these two shots of the front. It’s nearly done but you can see in the second image the Grange Road Bridge still needs painting, railings, weathering and setting in place.

Really excellent modelling!  I can't decide if I like the front elevation or the rear more:)  This is definitely going to be a fabulous looking layout!

That's world class modelling, Chris. Every detail is so well executed, even the weeds!

Thank you. The weeds are made from dried moss. There’s so many varieties to choose from but the fern like ones seem to give the best results. The small trees are lichen collected whilst in Scotland last week, dried, sprayed brown, brushed with PVA and then dipped in finely chopped dried moss for leaves. Works quite well and costs nowt.

Wonderful modelling, full of those small details that bring a model to life.  I love those 'intimate' views down into the individual back yards.  Takes me back to my Grandmother's house!
