will5210 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Enthused by the positive start to this layout thread, I’ve finally found time to tentatively start the station building. I cut the windows out from my printed ‘wall’ pictured above, then placed it over 5mm foamex board and marked up the window holes with pencil before cutting them out with a craft knife and tidying them up and chamfering the edges with files and wet n dry. I then gave the foamex a squirt of Plasticote chocolate suede effect which helpfully matches the darkened sandstone I printed. All the cutting, filing and sanding takes a bit of time but I’m happy with the effect of wall thickness it gives. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted April 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi Will, I do like your layout, it is coming along nicely. I'm not an LNER man myself, but can appreciate good modelling! Best wishes, Nick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

will5210 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Not much progress this week. Since the clocks changed I’ve been doing a bit more cycling & doing a few outdoor jobs. On the layout I have done a bit more ballasting (not really worthy of a photo I think), and tonight I carried on doing the initial ‘laying out’ of the station building (including the long retaining wall) with the printed texture and foamex. Very useful to start seeing it in 3D. I can already see a few bits that need adjusting! The tower on the right was a prototype to test construction methods- it won’t be on the finished layout. Thanks! Edited April 16, 2019 by will5210 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
