JSModels - Laser-Cut Kits - Now in N Gauge too!!!

Good evening all,

 

I just thought I'd comment on these kits having just built 3 of the low relief warehouse ends.

 

If anyone is thinking of having a go then I encourage anyone to! I've never used laser cut wood before and I have to say I was very impressed with the quality and detail of these. Also after cutting out these really just clipped together, they were a pleasure to build. In fact the highest compliment I can give is I originally bought just two and was so impressed I changed my plans to include the third! I've attached a photo of my current lockdown project which they are being used on but they really warrant using on a larger layout. They are excellent!

 

(Photo only to show how they look after assembly and painting without any guttering etc. and the painting is all down to me so don't judge the kits on that).

Following the success of JSModels’ OO gauge / 4mm scale building kits, we are pleased to announce an expansion into O gauge / 7mm scale with the immediate release of two new kits.

 

Based on two of the kits from the 4mm ‘waterside’ series, these kits are laser cut from a combination of 2mm, 3mm, and 4mm MDF, with 180gsm card roofing slate strips, and come complete with 240 micron acetate glazing material, and full-colour printed assembly instructions.

 

Jumping up in scale has allowed the inclusion of additional detail not available in the 4mm versions, such as roof gutters with stone corbel supports, and engraved flooring with plank lines and nail holes.

 

The two kits are:

 

JSM743 ‘Canal Warehouse End 1’ – a  four-storey building end with a column of loading doors and cover above, this building is 260mm wide, 38mm deep, and 425mm high (10 ¼” x 1 ½” x 16 ¾”). The loading hood projects a further 32mm / 1 ¼” out. Doors can be modelled open or closed.

 

JSM753 ‘Canal Warehouse End 2’ – as above, but with additional windows instead of the loading doors & hood.

 

JSM743_753_CompS.jpg.924b81a808f8e30b4b7c845ec1fe2c20.jpg

 

Both kits are in stock and available to order now via the website, www.jsmodels.co.uk at a price of £45.00 each.

 

As an added bonus, to celebrate the World of Railways Virtual Exhibition, all orders placed via the website over the weekend of 7th & 8th November will get 10% off with the discount code WOR10DISC.

 

Note that the above discount code applies to ALL PRODUCTS, not just the 7mm ones!

 

Further kits from the 4mm range will receive similar ‘upscaling’ in the future if there is sufficient demand.
 

Regards,

 

Jonathan

Ordered on Saturday (I think, maybe Sunday), arrived this afternoon so after work I've thrown your kit together. Will do the roof tiles tomorrow and hopefully get it in primer over the weekend at least.

 

Has gone together well and should look the part where I'm planning for it to go.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Today I've been working on a commission for an even larger one - Gauge 1:

That's the O gauge version on the left, and the OO one on the right.

I've been a little bit quiet on here as of late, but just wanted to say a huge Thank You to every one who's bought a kit, liked a post, followed the page, or in any way supported me this year.

 

It's been a tough year for many people, in many new, different, and challenging ways, but here's hoping next year brings a change for the better.

 

Happy Christmas to you all!!!

Over the last couple of days I've been working on two bespoke jobs - first off, brick versions of two of the canalside warehouse kits:

 

PXL_20201230_195452039.jpg.528ae935d358626d87edef81d3d517cc.jpg

 

Also, converting a client's hand-drawn sketches to CAD:

Cutting them:

And dry-fitting to ensure the pieces fit as they should:

This is just the inner core of the building - this will be covered in plasticard by the client. Also some fine (literally and figuratively!) windows for the above building, cut in 1mm MDF:

And that's it for 2020 - roll on 2021!!!

For those that don't follow everything on here and therefore haven't seen the news, I'm sponsoring the 2021 Cakebox Challenge.

 

There's a £75 voucher up for grabs, so head on over there & get working on your entries!!!

Well, I'm delighted to say when I got home from dropping my daughter at school on Friday a fairly substantial package was waiting for me.  The word 'comprehensive' doesn't do the instructions justice! Really looking forward to starting on this once I've got my baseboards finalised for my shunting puzzle layout.

Ever since I was given one of these LED swan-neck wall lights by a member of my local club, and I used it on Haigh Sidings, I've been trying to get hold of some of them for my shop. It's taken over 12 months now (thanks to the C-word - no, not that one, the 5-letter one!) but I've finally got some available:

 

HaighMillsLight.jpg.7889b4f5a0d0f83267af161d1f5d74e2.jpg

 

They come with mini 2-pin connectors, nut for fixing, and a 620 ohm resistor:

Available now - Swan Neck Industrial Wall Light

 

I know things have been a bit quiet with JSModels recently, but exciting things are happening in the background. I've got a series of three new small(ish!) kits launching hopefully later this week which will complement the existing warehouses/mills, and then for the World of Railways Virtual Show (13th-14th March) I've got a brand new kit to announce, so stay tuned!

, or even Fred Dibnah!

 

Mike.

 

I've looked, but can't find a picture anywhere to back it up - but there's Fred up a chimney, and his land rover parked at the bottom, on the N gauge layout 'Cleggworth' at our club.

 

Also saw a very nice model of a 4mm scale boilerhouse & chimney with the same on Facebook a few weeks ago. Edit - it's by Dan Evason, Tunnel Lane Model Railways.

I've been working on a commission from a member here - a model of the island building from Llandudno Junction. To test that everything goes together as it should, I've assembled a test piece/prototype. There are a couple of very minor changes to make prior to cutting the actual full-length model, but this is pretty much it:

 

LLJ_ProtoBuild_01.jpg.0be306f68c35a29c858dc3b025048eb5.jpg

 

LLJ_ProtoBuild_02.jpg.b09c465993ac4b751fec9ceb9b5679c9.jpg

 

The finished building (not including the canopy) will be over 800mm long - so this represents less than one quarter of the finished length (though the width & height of the model are correct).

 

The depth of the canopy has been reduced from the prototype, to fit on the client's platform (which luckily he had the foresight to straighten out, rather than me having to make the whole building and canopy on a very gentle curve!) but I hope it's captured the 'feel' of the prototype:

LLJ_ProtoBuild_08.jpg.9fb8a9e917abe4de7a9ced92d6a85df8.jpg

 

Here it is with the solid part of the canopy in place. There is a glazed section to go either side of the building, hence the gaps! Also missing the roof tiles, chimneys, and the valance around the edge...:

LLJ_ProtoBuild_14.jpg.761a1985abfc214529e72f19dbba1881.jpg

 

I started working on this for Jack a couple of months ago, but it's been on the back burner for the last few weeks as I've been busy working on new products. It's been great to get back to this again, it's going to be a lovely building when it's finished!

 

Don't forget to tune in on Saturday for the virtual show, and my new product launch...

 

 

Regards,

 

Jonathan
