Nice work Tim , really look the part .

Lovely. The outside light shows off the brick colour shade really well - not to mention the quality of your work!

Excellent work, Tim. The Howard Scenics kits make up into lovely models. It just makes me more jealous of the fact that they have never been produced in 2mm scale :-(

Looking good!

Superb! There's definitely a knack to getting the best out of the Howard scenics range...and you've obviously cracked it. Please pass on your secrets!

Nice modelling. Like that open window.

Gorgeous!

Very nice.

 

How did you form the gutters ? (Mine are not yet at gutter stage, but will be soon).

First-class work, top-hole, Tim, I really will have to try a Howards Scenic model or two, I fancy the shops.

I didn't realise how good Howards Scenic Models looked. Impressive work.

Very nice. How did you form the gutters ? (Mine are not yet at gutter stage, but will be soon).

Hi - the guttering is in fact modified Wills plastic guttering or downpipes, so it's actually solid but when painted black or dark matt grey, and with much of it hidden under the overhang of the tiles, you don't notice it.

 

What I do is to drill the plastic guttering section with a 0.4mm hole in four places and epoxy some 15 amp fuse wire in the holes (trying not to break through at the front of the gutter!). Corresponding holes are then drilled in the front of the building and the guttering glued in place. The use of bendy fuse wire means you can adjust the guttering slightly.

 

The downpipes are 0.9mm brass rod, fixed to the walls in the same way, although using small loops of 5 amp fuse wire to do so.

Thanks for the explanation.

Do us another 20 and we'll have em .

 

Sadly not quite for Castleton but they do look great Tim!

These are beautifully made, very clean and precise. They look just the part!

cheers,

Iain

I agree with Iain. Top work!
