RSS Fetcher Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The OO Garden Shed By John Geeee I wanted to do something to add to the scene around the terminus station. I got the wood out again and added about another 8 inches to the left hand side baseboards so that I could add a row of high street shops and at the top end some kind of factory. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/134_3482Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/136_3635Small.jpg To cover the baseboard joins I put down some black card and stuck it with some spray adhesive. It seemed a good idea at the time but about 12 months later the card has slowly bubbled up and become uneven. So I am currently thinking about repairing the road surface. Otherwise the black card worked well and I applied light coloured weathering powders with a brush to grey it off. I added a wall to the right side as the boundary to the station. Then I created a pavement on both sides using the Metcalfe self adhesive paving. All the shops, banks and pubs are Metcalfe kits for now. In the long term I will have a go at making my own shop fronts by scratchbuilding with plasticard etc, but thats probably a few years away yet! At this end of the high street I want to add a hotel structure facing the station building but I am yet to find a suitable kit. The back scene is created from Townscene backscenes stuck onto card and then the skyline was trimmed around all the roofs and chimneys etc. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/100_0002Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/100_0006Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/102_0242Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/102_0267Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/102_0254Small.jpg When I have repaired the road I will then add more details like street lighting, zebra crossing, road markings etc. The top end had a Metcalfe industrial building for a while but it eventually gets replaced with a Scalescenes warehouse structure, this will appear in a later chapter. Here are some pictures of it for propserity ;-) http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/100_0014Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/100_0024Small.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p195/JohnGeeeee/100_0013Small.jpg Next up - Another extension to add another turntable and loco service yard.
