  1. Harry, I had a go and covered it! Awesome, I need to learn about weathering though!

  2. Thanks to all who sent me in the right direction for covering materials. I'm off to build platforms now.

     

    Thanks Again!

  3. Many thanks to both of you Polybear & Doilum with the ideas and informative instructions. Much appreciated! Thank you kindly, Dave
  4. Hi Mick, Many thanks for your reply and I am very grateful too. I have seen some buildings online watching youtube channels that have used paper which is adhered to the frame coverings by glue. These look OK when first applied but after some time they begin to look really poor when the paper starts drying out and curling from the edges. I'll look up the Metcalfe site though but want to refrain from using card or paper. I'd love to find large sheets of 3D plastic embossed sheets that I can paint in the appropriate colours of red engineered brick and grey slate. Many thanks for your suggestions and time All the best Dave
  5. Hello, & looking for experienced help! I'm very new to Railway layouts and buildings. I have a young Son that loves all railway and I have therefore started a layout for him in a spare room. I have scratch built a engine shed for him which has 6 lines going into it and is approximately 1200mm x 600mm in size. I built the frame, shed doors and roof windows from Birch Coffee stirring sticks. I then covered the shed in Balsa and made up the chimneys. I have looked online and cant find anything large enough that I'd like to use to cover it being that I'd like embossed slates and red engineered bricks. Online sellers all seem to supply these in small packs of 4 and the sheet sizes are small. It would mean having too many joins all over the shed which I'd really like to avoid. Can anyone suggest where I can purchase the large embossed sheets I require. Or any other ideas you may have for covering this would be welcomed. Thanks for taking the time to read my request. Dave
