RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted January 15, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Going potty with chimneys and ridges... the station building continues to take shape. I have also created what would be lead lined gulleys in the roof valleys via a bit of carefull filing. Flashing around chimneys etc. will be added later. Not sure yet how to do the hips "bonnet' tile ridges, may have to enlist the help of a 3D print guru... The round topped main ridge tiles are already from 3D prints. Sketch from the builders "Jaggard and Drury" bible. Edited January 16, 2023 by Graham_Muz 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
