GeoffinOz Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 No sure if this is right but I did make the ScaleScenes low relief hotel into a full hotel by putting three units together and then scratch building the third side and back and put a roof on a roof I also converted the Garage into a three bay taxi garage 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahame Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I can't remember if I posted this scene or not, although this particular pic is relatively recently taken: It's N/2mm scale and based on the entrance to the Old Kent Road Gas works from around the mid 1970s. On the left is the gas showroom facing the OKR (building now demolished), then the single storey concrete pre-fab building is the medical centre (now a multicultural liberation ministry church - whatever that is), the yellow block is the district offices and the low relief red building is the area offices (also now demolished). 9 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike morley Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A good example of why it isn't a good idea to work to a deadline. This was originally intended to be a model of the watertower at Moorswater, on the Liskeard and Caradon, but getting bogged down trying to work out what the dimensions should be (and never getting it right,despite this being the third attempt) meant I had no time to include the window-shaped opening that should be overlooking the coal stage, another one under the pipe pivot or the doorway in the other side. 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrWolf Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2021 Crossing keepers house based on Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway examples, though the measurements were actually taken from an identical house on the Garstang & Knott End Railway. I'm still working on it, along with half a dozen other buildings for my layout. 14 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted September 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 21, 2021 After a bit of a pause on the building front, whilst I finished wiring the layout, I’ve finally finished the row of shops that are now attached to the Hand and Flower pub. Just chimney pots to add when the rest of the block of buildings are finished……as I always knock these off. 8 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahame Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Here's some N/2mm low-relief building models from Tooley Street (unfortunately they still needing finishing). At 29-33 Tooley Street, just to the right of Colonial House, is this building which was originally shipping importers offices for the wharfs and warehouse behind. It still exists, although changed a little, as the well woman centre clinic of the London Bridge hospital. To the right is Dominion House, at 37-45 Tooley Street, but this building has long been demolished and replaced with the Cottons Centre: Further along Tooley Street, at 81-85, was this row which has also been demolished and replaced with a lacklustre glass block. The pub needs branding and windows added but I do recall having a couple of pints of Bass in there many years ago; Edited September 24, 2021 by grahame 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'll follow up with an unfinished building of my own, part way through painting and detailing. It's the station building for my layout Aston on Clun, inspired by Vowchurch on the Golden Valley Line, with a canopy added. 5 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 To keep this thread alive and going, here's a couple of my scratch-built N/2mm scale buildings. I don't think I've posted these pics before (but apologies if I have): 11 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Those are very well observed and executed. I really like the muted colours that take it from a view of a very small building to a distant view of a full sized building. The bottom photograph reminds me of how bits of Coventry still looked about 1980. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The colour of the stonework and the high level tank instantly reminded me of the old mill buildings around Lancaster.. I really like the attention paid to decades of alterations to suit changes in industry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
