Jamiel Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Wonderful modelling, and sorry for flooding your 'notifications' box with clicks.I have been looking at the 'Little and Ballantyne' building as a source of inspiration for a while and it is fantastic to see someone has modelled it in such detail.Sorry if I have missed this, but with the more complex windows, the stone and carved details, is this all hand built or do you make a mould to cast others for consistency, or do you use 3D printing, or some other aid?Thanks you for sharing such inspirational work.Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi Bob, thanks for your kind comments, it was a few years ago now when I constructed this, to be honest I have’t a clue as it now sits somewhere in France. i’m sorry I couldn’t help. cheers peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted March 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm a long way away from it at the moment but it was scaled off the OS 1:2500 plan. From memory it's at least 7" or so wide, I had to transport it to France and by great good fortune found that it fitted in the box we use to transport the Herculaneum Dock backscene (the 60ft high cliff behind Brunswick shed). Photo of the bridge in the box which measures 65" x 13". Getting it there turned out to be the easy bit though, when we got to the layout it was apparent that the bridge had been designed on a datum level two or three inches below track level (the level of the road alongside platform 8). 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 I remember the sense or relief I had when Mike sent me this photo, knowing the Bridge was in safe hands and packed so well. pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted March 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 5, 2019 I should also add that it wasn't Peter's fault that the bridge didn't fit, he made it to the drawing he was given. One of the biggest snags with building this layout has been that it was designed at least three different times by different people with no correlation between them.

grahame Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I'm another who has only recently found and devoured this thread. It's fantastic outstanding architectural modelling. I just wish I'd found it earlier as it looks like I now need to revisit all my building efforts. Edited May 7, 2020 by grahame 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
