Jaz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The doorway needs a step rmweb3172policehouse40 I cut it to length, filed it, and filled the ends let it dry, but did not attach it, as I am continuously turn the model over front and back the extra width would be a pain.... rmweb3173policehouse41 but I did check it was about right... and a temporary white paint...to just cover the green. rmweb3174policehouse42 I like this as I did not have to align the squareness of the step...and I can use the back to glue to the main model.... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted October 16, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2014 I like it Jaz and am really looking forward to seeing the finished model in place on the layout, good use of the piece of plastic! But... in the photo on post 7477 it looks like the step extends beyond the dimensions of the door and door frame (to the left at least, can't see the right.) Or is that just a figment on the photo? I wouldn't normally rivet count so much (not that you get many in stone steps!) but with the exception of the shape of the lintels you've been sticking so close to the picture.

I wouldn't normally rivet count so much (not that you get many in stone steps!) but with the exception of the shape of the lintels you've been sticking so close to the picture. it is not glued in place , and was probably not too accurately placed on the model as it was just balanced.... hopefully when you see it glued it will be ok....fingers crossed.... the V shaped plastic provided me with the sills and lintels and as the window needed to be set back i added those strip, once the window was pushed back it floated.....so a strip was added at the back to abutt against then the 'window' pressed into place, and a second strip carefully used to attach the window to the model and hold it in place. rmweb3175policehouse43 top window left before and after rmweb3176policehouse44 if the wording is confusing, hopefully the picture helps clarify 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted October 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 16, 2014 I like the way you have done the vertical window bars. Never thought of putting them behind the gazing!

Jaz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I double checked the sides, touch up paint, checked the 'stone block' and grouting....before gluing...touching it after would be a COMPLETE pain rmweb3177policehouse45 two down... rmweb3178policehouse46 4 and the fancy lintel finish added....just need to replace a lost bit..... rmweb3179policehouse47 and sort out a top light....above the door.... sort the centre join, add a erin pipe, some curtains.....and cut the side to size 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I mention earlier that last night I was once again in A+E with my dad, he's fine luckily just bruised this time. Have made an appointment with the doctor to discuss his legs being weak and him not being able to use his zimmer frame because of his recently broken arm..... am considering locating a second hand one of these!!!!!! sumo wrestling body and head protection.....might be warm enough to just pop him outside for some fresh air too...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't normally rivet count so much (not that you get many in stone steps!) but with the exception of the shape of the lintels you've been sticking so close to the picture. when I responded earlier I made the mistake of assuming you referred to my model,when post 7477 refers to an original photograph of the police house. and You might well be right...I will investigate further. Certainly on the right hand door, the annexe, under the police sign the steps appear to be shaped to account for the slope leading up to the annexe. Which leads one to suspect that should be checked. The annexe door is set higher though, luckily I still have time to check this out....thank you for the pointer Although I could argue it is filmed as though approaching it head on not up the slope on question, but that would be muddying the response, let's see what it actually is, as I do/didintend setting on the slope as per the original so should take it into consideration. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulcanbomber Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Unfortunately it has ridges so the paper will not work well. BUT if you paint it just one colour, white or yellow, or red, you can easily weather it with thinned black/brown giving a pleasing result. David Todd was talking about a master class. I am not master but I think I will give people an insight into how I get the small details. I have taken a couple of pictures already so will work my way through all the details.Bit at a time. Thought you might like to see my effort, I covered it in lined paper 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted October 17, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2014 That has to be easier than painting the lines!

Andrew P Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Jaz, just called in for a look around, the Police House is looking really good, you make REAL MODELING look so easy. Hope your Dad's going to be O.K. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 There must be a better pic. than ...............this.......... phone them, ask for a better one, tell them, you recreating, their creation,you might get an invite.......... Consulte your Crystal Ball............... This actual police house is NOT in Goathland, apparently it is like 70 miles from Goathland. Also I know from having driven up and down the google version, that there is NO road in front of the side we are looking at. Present Day. anyway. There is a shared road access off the road behind this house then a right hand leads behind the property this house is sited on. The building which once really was a police station goes up a slope and the frontage you see is directly in front of a small field was a narrow walkway going up a slope to the main door then a little higher to the annexe door (where the police sign is shown) The film crew cheated by filming from that small field in front giving the impression this side of the house is on the roadway which is not accurate. Having seen loads of Heartbeat but mostly prior to trying to model it, I am not aware of another picture. MKwolf1877 pictures are the best I have seen to date...you can see the house from google maps but no better. So I will check back thru all the reference i gathered. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
