Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi all , next stage with the lintels etc on. I sometimes regret the number of windows! Best Tim 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi All, just as a record shot here is the cooperage with the terracotta paint on before the mortar colour goes on. I must admit I've learnt a lot from building this model. I still have 5 or so buildings to go so the knowledge won't be wasted. Cheers Tim 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Some progress this evening with the mortar course. Needs a bit of work but getting there. Cheers Tim 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tim Highly impressive stuff as ever Tim. Good to see that brickwork technique being employed again, it's fantastic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi all, I've added brick detail and put in the windows to the Cooperage. Still a bit to do. Last shot shows the run of buildings Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi, I spend a couple of hours on Sunday restarting work on the Grain Van I had begun at Christmas. I needed to reset one of the wheel sets and I put it to one side. Over the weekend I finally managed to sort out the brake gear threading 0.45 wire through holes in very small parts. My wife was laughing at the swearing. I've also prepared the buffers, although they are not fixed. It's a lovely kit and I would like to get another one as I have learnt a lot of lessons on this one.

Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hi all, pretty much finished the Grain Van. I've really enjoyed making it, lots of handrail detail and roof features. It's certainly the most detail/ complex one I have made to date. Very tempted to get another one as I will know what to do! Anyway The Store House can now accept a load of grain. cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Water Tower Hi all, I've started work on Green Leaf's water Tower. It's going to be a bit different from the other buildings I've done so far. This is the penultimate building on the back scene. At the moment it's the bare bones.

Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Water Tower Bit more progress with the Water Tower. I made up the base of the water tank. Cheers Tim 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hi all, these are images of the Grain Van primed, I'm not sure whether to paint it BR Gray - is there a lot of difference. I still need to do the sole bar etc, then the transfers. Very please with it in the end. Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Water Tower progress Latest progress includes working on the tank and cutting out the brick card for the building itself. Cheers Tim 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Coopers I'm working on the interior for the cooperage, with a bit of careful posing you can get four different coopers from one model. Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Water Tower Bit more progress to show with the Water Tower. Brick card on plus brick detail and side stone, which are one way of solving ill fitting edges! The Tower is in a Neo-Gothic revival style. The plan is to eventually have a pump engine in it. The last picture shows the tower in the run of the other buildings - just a small matter of a power station to go then that is the back scene of buildings done.

Aldgate Box Boy Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 I did the detailing on the tank for the Water Tower yesterday. The rivet detail is a bit lost in these photos. Cheers Tim 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi all been away for a bit, but getting on with the water Tower now. Here is the undercoat version of the tank. Cheers Tim 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi All, latest progress. the tank is now painted. It will have a gauge on the side. The windows are not fixed but you can see I've done the frames on the outside front and started on the left-hand side. Cheers Tim 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi all, I've finished putting on the window sills etc. ready now for its paint. cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi all, latest images with the Water Tower in primer. Cheers Tim 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi all, finally finished the mortar stage of the building. I'm not sure what to do with the stone edging in terms of colour. I know you can get white stone in prototype but I was thinking of sandstone or Bath stone. cheers Tim 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Coopers hard at work I'm in the process of painting the Coopers for inside the Cooperage building. I've tried to get four different poses from the same model with just one arm to manipulate . cheers Tim 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi All, I've nearly finished the Water Tower, still a bit to do but I thought I would share the images. Cheers Tim 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Another cracking and hugely impressive building there Tim. Your techniques really are superb and so effective. I'm going to give your brickwork method a go on a couple of (far smaller) industrial buildings I have just commenced working on. Love the coopers too! Very nicely finished, they look the business 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldgate Box Boy Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks South Tyne for the kind words. I've had a bit of time over the weekend. Here is an image of a narrow space filler between the Cooperage and the Water Tower, I am thinking this is could be the brewery's laundry. The other shot is a panorama looking down the layout.

Aldgate Box Boy Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Inside the cooperage My plan is to really the detail all the interiors of my building when I have them all done but I couldn't resist doing some parts of the cooperage. First two images are to show you the floor outside the building, second two in situ Cheers Tim 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
