Halwill Signal Box - Foamcore Board Mockup

[iL Dottore]

I prepared two versions of the foamcore board mockup of Halwill Signal Box: the difference between the two is that roof B has the longer roof ridge (which I think works), although I am thinking that the roof should be higher and the pitch steeper - although my impressions could be wrong.

 

Otherwise, after a few tweaks, it should more or less capture the essence of Halwill Signal Box

 

Some other thoughts:

• On the rear "pimple" (the WC) and the veranda I think should be shallower, but at the red line or the green line?
• The veranda WILL have the windows and front door (not on mockup)
• The estimated height of the signal box is a fraction less than the height of the Wills "planking" sheet - I will change the height so that the entire height of the embossed sheet can be used eliminating the necessity to cut a sliver off the Wills sheet (a fiddly, and much prone to error, job)
• I will slightly (vertically) resize and slightly resite the windows so that I can take advantage of the grooving in the Wills sheet planking - again eliminating the need to take off just slivers of plastic. As I will be scratchbuilding the windows, this resizing will not offer any problems for fitting the windows.
• Perhaps the brick should be replaced by planking?

Anyway, here are the pics

 

As always, your comments and observations are sought and welcomed.
