KNP Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Engine shed this time. This was the first building I built using just card and brick papers Complicated to build because of the brick on edge detail that I wanted to included so it was done in layers. This was the building referred to very early on in this topic where I had used compatible inks and they proved to be less colour fast than the manufacturer ones. The UV varnish I applied does appear to have arrested any further visible deterioration but only time will tell...... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted March 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) It's beautiful. Just the right amount of grime and lichens on the roof tiles. (And UV varnish answers one of my questions about self-printed papers, thanks.) With the two tall, unconnected walls, is it flimsy? If so, does that worry you or do you just have to be careful with it when it's off the layout? Edited March 13, 2018 by Harlequin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main wall with the windows in is two layers one for the outside and one for the inside with the Scalelink windows sandwiched between. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 13, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well the third cakebox challenge ('Not another One') is slowly coming together. The main two items will move over onto this layout when finished with to make a nice little mini diorama scene at the end of one of the sidings. Basics done...... 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 15, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 Treetops of Little Muddle....... Peaceful day as Ken climbed to the top of a large tree to get this picture! Not sure where he placed his tripod for this........ Mine was standing it's feet in the stream!!! He then moved to a safer area on the end the platform. No idea what those two chaps are so engrossed in but they have been sitting there for a while - chatting away. Must put some more ash around the signal wire cover.... As I have said before, funny what you see in a picture that you don't notice normally. 32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted March 18, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2018 A few none related pictures that I have tried with the camera in usual places. I thought, I have these packing cases kicking around the layout but with no labels. So I went on line, found some pictures of a few, copy and pasted to Word, shrunk them down, made various sizes and printed on very thin print paper. I see no ones claimed the umbrella yet!!! This was taken below the level of the baseboard with the camera aimed upwards I see Miss Gray is still having words with her mum, Edna. Poor old City Gent is trying not to pay them any attention....but listening all the same! 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looking good... The one under the baseboard works particularly well. I always like to see the ground or little person's eye level viewpoint - does improve the realism (not that that is lacking on this layout !!)
