B.R. W.R. flavoured goods shed

[Chubber]

ScalescenesTX34 zinc roofing, TX21 pavement, TX37 cream clapboard suitably colourised, TX48 squared rubble and TX01 red brick.

 

A bit of tidying up to do, but passable at 12"!

A lovely structure. Did you use TX34 on the awning roof, and is the slate roof from a scalescenes kit?

Hullo L.S.,

 

Thank you for your kind remark!

 

 

Yes, TX34 for the awning roofs, with a bit of watercolour pencil shading. The slates are Scalescenes TX18a, printed on thin matt Self Adhesive photopaper, then applied in strips and finally cut with a Stanley knife between each slate once laid on. It's a new product for me [the S.A. photopaper] but I think I will revert to ordinary S.A. lable paper as it is a sod to work with, delaminating at a touch. The slightly different square area to the left hand side is the 'repair' to the roof  after the affair of 'Gustave and the Exploding Seagull', part of the layout back story.

Also a new product to me, Teddy Bear Fur fabric....great fun but if you buy it, be sure to take it outside and with a clothes-brush carefully brush away any loose whiskers from the long cut edge, my railway room looks as though someone has put a ginger tomcat in a blender. Below the sleeper built buffer stops for the shed using it, rubbed with some green acrylic paint then attacked with nail scissors..

Thank you for showing your roofing. I’ve just spotted your technique of  darkening the exposed  paper tile edges!

An inspiration as always!
