I love Your attention to detail Thanks Steve I admit that I’ve gone a little OTT with the interiors, especially considering you can hardly see them once they’re installed but I’ve enjoyed doing them which is the main thing 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is glazing in the windows although it’s just clear plastic I've tried to take a photo to show it’s reflectiveness Unfortunately it also shows how dirty they are Edited March 14, 2020 by chuffinghell 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2020 I appreciate my Station building build has been a long drawn out process, for which I apologise, however I’m nearly there now After having to wait what seemed like an eternity for the nameplates to arrive the doors are finally on only jobs left to do once the glue on the doors has cured are to install the interiors, finish painting the chimney flashing, weathering the chimneys and a general going over it touching up any areas that need it This has been my first ever kit bash so thanks to everyone for being patience, although everything I’ve done thus far seems to have taken me twice as long as it should have 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2020 Since ordering the etched nameplates my plan to put a door on the gents loo had changed So I wondered if positioning it here would be acceptable? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 15, 2020 I realise this looks brutal but one thing that bothers me is light bleed I’m quite sure that in reality when someone has the lights on they don’t get a line of light under their house! Although I will try, I can’t guarantee that my platform will be perfectly flat (plus there is mortar grooves in the platform top) So to this end I have sealed around the base of the booking office with my favourite* automotive knifing putty, once cured I’ll make sure it’s sanded flat and give it a coat of black enamel as belt and braces *knifing putty is my favourite because it’s only three quid and I have an Halfrauds within walking distance to my house 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie24 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Great stuff fella! Really excited to see what the rest of the layout will hold!! But I fear with this much attention to detail, It could take a very long time... Mind you, with this self isolation malarkey, I’m sure you'll get a lot more progress done 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, with this self isolation malarkey, I’m sure you'll get a lot more progress done I was once told a layout is never really finished....and at this rate it won’t be I’ve managed to clean up the nameplates so they are a bit clearer (it’s been bugging me all day whilst at work) but please bare in mind they are only 1.5mm high and close up photography is very cruel The window cleaner has done a terrible job 7 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
