    I had to do a double take on the pub signs, I thought it was the Eldridge Pope, Huntsmans Ales sign and I wondered what beer from Dorchester was doing in the forest.  When I enlarged the picture the truth was revealed.

     

     

    Oh ye of little faith to think I might use an out of area brewery. Just don’t zoom in too closely on the front of 3737 and spot the Laira shed plate 😊

    Indeed. In the next week or so, I must do some work to Sheep Dip as I had forgotten that the lighting rig had been sold with Bleat Wharf.......

  3. In the past, on the Yelverton station building I think, I used strips of 10thou styrene formed into an "L" and painted grey then drybrushed gunmetal. This allowed me to make the chimney removable through the flashing. Wouldn't work with card roof of this one of course.

    How are you going to do the lead flashing? I have used the lead foil from wine bottles but that only really comes on the dearer bottles now days and my wife doesn't drink, my second wife drunk wine like it was going out of fashion so I always had some lead foil to hand. These days I use cigarette paper if I can't lay my hands on the foil and paint it with Humbrol metalcoat polished steel mixed with gunmetal 53.  

    Regards Lez.

    I’ve got some foil from a wine bottle I I’ve saved.. I like using the foil because it can be pressed into shape.

    Lovely, Alex.

     

    It seems laser cutting is becoming more main-stream now?

     

    I think so Tim. I've got one, but I haven't used it yet. It's a post retirement project. A friend has done some great work in "n" gauge using laser cutting to create the backing for Scalescenes models.
