A little more progress, but this is a real make-it-up-as-you-go-along construction.

I think the roof will be corrugated iron sheets, but it might be slate.

Very, very good indeed, Stu. 

 

Rob. 

 

Thanks Rob.

 

Some of the brick corners are a bit rough and need filling, but I also want the dilapidated look of a building about to be demolished.

Looks really good Stu.

 

What/If are you going to use for railings?

I don't blame you if you don't have any. The ones I did were fiddly enough!

I have some thin plastic rod to use, but this will be left until the building is in place.

 

The roof needs a trim and a ridge piece, the roof itself needs shaping to fit the backscene.

The vertical edges of the 'sheets' will be drawn with paint and a thin black pen.

Behind/to the left of this building I need something to sit in the corner and also balance the town hall type structure on the right.

 

This old warehouse in Redruth might fit the bill.

 

You might just be able to see the Up main line to Truro at the base, this is positioned just to the north/ east of the tunnel at the end of the platform.

That certainly looks like a challenge!

I took the opportunity to stop in Chacewater this morning to take some more detailed photos of several buildings.

 

A corner shop

Hello Stu,

 

That building is wonderful I especially like the concrete slab at the top of the steps and the blue door. Is the slab some grey card?

 

Cheers - Jim

 

Hi Jim,

No, it's a very thin slice of insulation foam, the big thick sheet stuff with the silver coating ( Kingspan , Celotex).

I couldn’t agree more, I have always been impressed with Stu’s buildings and his attention to detail
