RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 1, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looks to have a hint of the various North Eastern Region designs of the 1960s such as Tweedmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdaley Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That's a cracking model. Looks very solid. Did you have to strength it or did you just build it as it came ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseman Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 hi all not sure of the prototype as for the construction i use artist mounting board and double up on the recommended thickness IE heavy card =2 layers mounting board medium card=1 layer mounting board light card as is i also print on to self adhesive labels the only exception in this kit was the steps which needed 3 layers of mounting card per step also in the kit as supplied the doors are too short but smart models supplied replacements very quickly houseman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
