A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

You can get a cream for that.

In other news.....

 

I am currently in a sort of limbo waiting for a house move and as a result there hasn't been any "real" modelling done unfortunately.

However, after looking at a previous card built model and being unhappy with it I decided to revamp the building and replace this....

 

With a plasticard built version drawn and cut out on my Silhouette last night.....

 

 

From which I got this version....

 

 

Just a few alterations were made and I am now happier, both with the building and also being able to carry out a bit of modelling.

 

Here it is with the original roof "plonked" on just to get a feeling for the thing.

 

A majority of my tools etc are packed away in readiness for the move so I thought a bit of small scale ( 7mm ) modelling might help to keep that mojo thingy ( whatever that is ? ) going.

That building looks really neat. I am about to make a similar timber framed station building for my version of Limpley Stoke. It has been on my back burner for over 10 years!  I planned to build up the frame with pre painted styrene strips but that looks so much simpler for a professional finish.

That third shot in your last post is a real winner Rob.  Even the loco looks good.

 

Hope you feel better soon.

 

Thanks Mikkel. the shot is even better if I get rid of the ghastly blue backdrop. I do like this angle.

 

 

 

[Mikkel]

Excellent, Sir. I don't mind the blue background though.

Oi, I missed that. Brilliant Grahame - just the sort of project for which the cutter is ideal. The chimneys on the original roof adds a lot of character, hope you'll keep these.

Thank you Mikkel, ( and to everyone else who ticked the likes etc ) its a modellers delight having the cutter and as you say, just the sort of project to use it on.

 

Yes I have surgically removed the very top of the roof and kept it for the final build.

That’s a really moody sky - just time to snap the train before it rains!

Shame you can't get a blood red sky.

That would look good on a double header with 92220.

Don't be daft you would have a job getting that thing into the museum where the real one lives.

It's been a long week, not very well and doesn't know his up from his down.

I called Dr Creasy to pay a visit to Mr Sweet, but he said he was not on his panel. Better wait for the NHS next year he said, chuckling. I hope his choke gets stuck out on his Austin 7 !

If I do weather Evening Star, it will be very subtle

 

In the meantime, I've been busy in the Hangar...

But Shirley - it must be down to Plymuf, unless Brent has  been moved to St Pirans Land.

 

(I did "like" nonetheless)
