KNP Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Well here we go then, just finished the mock ups after spending a while rummaging in the wheelie bin for card........not using my good stuff. First impressions are good, though there is a gap behind the station building but! The advantages of making card mock ups, so easy to change and alter. I shall now leave for a day or two to see if it grows on me! Hopefully the planners, objectors and Little Muddle Gazette readers approve? EDIT - the back scene will also change with buildings added etc. Edited February 26 by KNP 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Whilst perusing these latest photographs I noticed the rather nice ornate station lamp. May I ask its original source please. Grahame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Are there any plans for a converted barn? Or didnt barns convert in the 40's? Maybe it was a cider apple pickers barn. If Muddleshire CC are not invited to visit they may drive a steam roller right through your plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just had a rummage through the draw where I keep the instructions etc. and out popped the card backing to the packaging - Dart Castings. Just checked on their website and the gas yard lamp is also from them........?????? The old memory is certainly playing up. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 It's looking good Kevin. Are you showing those pics to the Muddleshire County Council planning Department. Scheduled for this mornings committee meeting, fingers crossed but the Chair has been in contact to ask me to ensure that there is some colour to the buildings as the off white/grey looks a bit bland. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2017 Is the committee sure than such an urban-looking row of terraced houses would suit the rural nature of the local environment ? I put it to you, sir, and I am unanimous in this,, that such an undertaking could lower the whole tone of the area. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRat Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I've sold the MiL to a generous Sheik as a useful, if vocal addition to his harem. As a result I now have enough for a goodly sized deposit on one of the houses. To whom do I need to apply.....?

lightengine Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I am hoping that the new builds will be constructed substantially better than the tumbledown cottage. It seems to have been built with whitewashed timbers forming the roof rafters and trusses. Can I presume that the steam roller is an ancient Roman one? It appears to have a seam on the rear rollers and I believe that this was for the purpose of forming chariot wheel ruts. The RSPCA are concerned that unpainted dogs may be leaching chemicals into the atmosphere or is this just radon coming to the surface?

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted March 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2017 Chairman, My concerns are 1 The need for 10 new dwellings in Little Muddle has not been demonstrated. 2 Highways Department are concerned that safe vehicular access has not been provided 3. No off-street parking is available 4. The development detracts from rather than enhances it's surroundings 5. The high roof profile will deprive the ladies lavatories in the station building of light However I am pleased to see small business units. These will be able to employ agricultural workers displaced by the introduction of powerful tractors powered by internal combustion engines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2017 The British Empire and the Brent Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. You didn't mention the Peoples Independent Republic of Horrocksford and the Haverfordwest Community Paradise, both of which stand firmly, shoulder-to-shoulder, with all those resisting the ever-advancing encroachment that seeks to subjugate our green and pleasant land and turn it into a totalitarian enclave for elitist rivet counters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
