George Hudson Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 After a bit of a break my building mojo has returned and this is as far as it has taken me. I am just putting down some photos to show how I work for those interested. The pub exists today so you can look at it on google maps for reference. I have passed it many time and thought it could fit well with the Clerkenwell inspired boards on Aldersgate. I have been playing around with street layout also. I'll eventually have the streets on three removable laminated sheets of foam board to be able to remove and get access for lines underneath. Here's the photos... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggers Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 That’s an impressive street of buildings you are putting together there George. I particularly like your windows. A couple of things I’d like to ask. Are all the brick papers you have used from Scalescene? I think I recognize London Brick, Aged Red and some Blue? But is that Brown brick on your latest creation? I like it and think I could use some myself. On the building that your pub is going to join to, how did you make the raised brick (or is it stone) feature (corbelling??) between the third and fourth floors? It looks really effective but cutting it out must have been fiendishly difficult! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole build is here under one of my Aldersgate Buildings posts (Artillery Row/Raven Row) Aldersgate buildings 7 Artillery Row (Raven Row) Yes it's all scalescene! And the brown brick is EXACTLY the same colour of my photos of the real thing, so that's lucky. The stonework is cut either from wheetabix boxes or some foam stonework I picked up in Germany possibly Faller or Busch. It came out of my general stock of stuff so not sure.

Paul C Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Superb work, and a real inspiration for me! I wish I had the space for a city layout, as I love the Victorian buildings, particularly the variety of forms you get at street corners. I really like the Scalescenes brick papers too: for me, the colours are just right, and the patterns don't repeat too often. Did you do your sign writing for the pub manually or is it printed?

The pub names are all generated by computer. The writing in the windows are from a vintage photo of the real thing. None of us ave as much room as we would like, just do a corner. Agreed, the scalescenes range is excellent. Thanks for comments. Andrew Edited October 14, 2018 by George Hudson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hudson Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 little more progress over the weekend just messing about with some existing structures I normally consider life's too short for interiors but since this will be at the very front of the Clerkenwell board, I mocked up some simple internals if you have been, thanks for looking Andrew 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Andrew Have always been an admirer of your modelling skills, not just the mechanics of the build itself but also the artistic chemistry few possess.

George Hudson Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 A little more on the Flying Horse and its environs. Small cameo I am developing, needs to be weathered and bedded in but you can get the point. Good job I opted for 2 x 5mm foam board as "over-baseboards", plenty to dig into. now have to find a brewery lorry from 1957, any suggestions welcome.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2018 Horse and dray? Famously Young’s mode of delivery in the Wandsworth area into the 80s at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted November 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Famously Young’s mode of delivery in the Wandsworth area into the 80s at least. I did a holiday job at Young’s Ram Brewery Wandsworth in the mid 1960s. The policy was to deliver all beer by horse drawn dray in a 5 mile radius of the brewery. Google Maps tells me Artliiery Row is 5 miles from the Brewery but it seems Trumans supplies this pub. I well remember the twelve sturdy shire horses and the steam beam engine of 1835 vintage powering the brewery machinery by belt drives.

Colossus Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 A little more on the Flying Horse and its environs. 2018-11-23 09.32.05.jpg Small cameo I am developing, needs to be weathered and bedded in but you can get the point. Good job I opted for 2 x 5mm foam board as "over-baseboards", plenty to dig into. 2018-11-24 09.23.11.jpg 2018-11-24 09.23.29.jpg now have to find a brewery lorry from 1957, any suggestions welcome. Andrew George, a popular choice of flatbed lorry in the late 50s and 60s with brewery back was the Thames Trader. This picture (hopefully visible) is Thames Trader belonging to Bass delivering in Coventry early 60s. Introduced 1957 the Trader seems to have been a very popular choice of dray from then on into the 1960s. There's a 1:64 scale model of one in Truman's livery on eBay currently so I expect they (Truman's) used them too. Guinness too as there are Corgi models of one and of the Bass liveried one available too I think in 1:76. An image search just threw up a pic of an AEC Mandator tractor unit pictured at Newark showground in Truman's livery but as an articulated rig, these would have been 'trunking' ale probably between Burton and London rather than on local deliveries. Hope this of interest George. For my up and coming project 'the back streets of Burton on Trent' circa 1962, the Thames Trader is a must. Loving your model making- thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
