BRealistic Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That's one fine little workshop, Pete. The detail. The weathering. Wonderful stuff. Might you tell us more about it's construction?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterkern23 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks B. Check out my signature for my threads about the separate buildings for the diorama. Also my blog link is there too which goes into a little more technical detail on my brickwork. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushpull33 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Peterkern Thanks for the comments It's actually 6mm static grass applied in the usual manner with one of those tea strainer type applicator, glued on a card base with PVA, combed flat after it has dried and sprayed with hairspray to keep it all in place.

Peterkern23 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Aaaahhh I see. I was pondering a way to do this myself. I considered a fine haired shaving brush butchered and glued in tidy bundles/clumps the shaved with my beard trimmer. Next project for me I think! Great job anyway. Love the bricks coming through the old render, nice an old and dirty just the way I like it :0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushpull33 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Peterkern. I did use a beard trimmer to trim around the windows. I went around all the edges and over the windows first with the grasses and let that dry before filling in the main roof area. I just wasn't sure weather it was going to work not that much information around on how to do thatch roofs. After looking at thatch roofs real ones that is, something struck me. More modern ones are not in lines like "brush strokes" all you see is the very end tip of the straw where as old ones (if your modelling 1930s let say) tend to be in streaks. I tried sizzle string but its to wavy, looked like someone had given it a perm. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmanjack Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This is my take on Goathland cattle dock. (http://www.mylearning.org/goathland-as-a-contrasting-locality/images/4-1684/) Although not an exact copy, I built my version as a brick walled and rammed earth floor and timber fencing/gates. I liked the idea of the timber construction method, compared to most rail or steel framed cattle docks. Something a little different to the norm. Cheers, Gary. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuild9.jpg Great model of a weighbridge and office, but the horse, cart and figures intrigue me. Painted really well and plenty of detail and character. Who is the manufacturer and did they come ready finished? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweven Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thank you to everyone for your appreciation. Hi Highlandman, thanks for that. The dray is from the excellent Dart Castings range - I have built about 3 of these vehicles for the (eventual) layout. They come as a kit of parts with good instructions - a little fiddly to put together (I used superglue) and then a dusting of primer and some hand-painted Humbrol. The people are from the really good Monty's Model range. A little expensive but I can't praise them enough, they have almost no flash and superb detail - some great figures. Again I gave them a dusting of primer and then hand painted with Humbrol (a job that always reminds me I need to go and get new glasses). Here's another model for the same site that I am just finishing with my favourite figure. Cheers John 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I built this model of Millfield station in Sunderland 32 years ago but never finished it and the various buildings now sit on my mantelpiece. It was an overtrack structure which was demolished after 20 years disuse in 1975 by which time it was heavily vandalised.
