RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted February 1, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Finished the final wall of the Station Master’s living room I’ve painted the door with the same brown but with a few drops of white so you can differentiate between the door and architrave The cut out to the right is to allow for the thickness of the front window and the gap below the skirting board is to allow for a floor that will go in last I didn’t originally allow for an interior, hence it being so tiny, however I’ve enjoyed doing it Having three sons I never had the opportunity to build a dolls house so until we’re blessed with a granddaughter this is the closest I’ll get Edited February 1, 2020 by chuffinghell 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you At 44 I have a lot more patience than I had in my late twenties (probably down to my eldest son having autism) it’s just a shame my eyesight isn’t as good as it was then 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Bogie Posted February 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2020 This topic is becoming very surreal. I just cannot fathom how you are getting so much detail in bearing in mind it is OO scale. I shudder to think what you could do in O scale let alone 1:1. Hat's off my friend! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you It’s not unheard of for me to go off at a tangent both in modelling and in life It was only after installing the lighting that I realised you could see in to what were bare plain grey walls As far as 1:1 scale......I hate wallpapering, I can never align the pattern properly 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted February 2, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Started on the gutters and downpipes, managed to shorten a downpipe to suit (if I told you how I did it you wouldn’t believe me) I need to re-weather the guttering due to having to do a paint touch up Edited February 2, 2020 by chuffinghell 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the downpipe below the top mounting bracket, drilled a hole in the underside, then cut the remaining downpipe to the length required and glued it into the hole....sounds simply but it was quite fiddly 2 hours ago, Melyn said: By the way, I think this is the first I've commented on this topic but I've been following it for a while, really impressive modelling!

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted February 7, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I’ve at least made a start on one of the chimneys I didn’t like the chimney pots that come with the kit, not tall enough IMO So I’ve cut them off and drilled holes ready to accept something else And as per usual I’m going too far with some thin plasticard But it might not work Edited February 7, 2020 by chuffinghell 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaZagato Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I don't think Santa will fit down that chimney. Serious question though, why do all English homes with chimneys have pots? You don't see such much in the US. We just have plain flues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
