'0' Gauge GWR Pagoda

[0820PerranporthPaddington]

 

Someone asked me if I could make a GWR Pagoda shelter in '0' gauge and to make it as authentic as possible!  As I make cut out card kits of Cornish Engine Houses and have made one or two pagodas in '00' in the past, I looked at the possibility of printing corrugated card.  As I had some sheets of various card and amongst them was a corrugated one, I designed the pagoda in kit form, scaled up fro 4mm to 7mm.  With great trepidation, I fed the shett into the printer and after three or four attempts, it worked!

 

The picture above is the finished model, placed on a makeshift platform, but I forgot to fix the fretwork on the roof!  This I have done by printing the fret, using OHP clear film.  The two downpipes are way too large, but that has now been remedied, shown on the second 'tryout' below.
