Show us your scratchbuilt building

[vulcanbomber]

Thought I would post here as well as layout thread

The shops are now finished!!

Got the roof on the waiting room finished - now slotting in the window frames.

Lovely mate!

Those who were at Scalefourum may have seen our laser cutter in use, these parts were cut over the weekend and are one of the waiting rooms at Aylesbury station, the walls are built from a number of layers of Rowmark and Perspex and have been designed to locate using cocktail sticks through location holes, with double sided tape to hold them together. the plinths then cover the holes.

 

All the brickwork is correct including the 1/4 closer bricks each side of the doors and corners.

This topic in quite an impressive roster of ideas. Full of inspiration.

 

Here a small manufacturing plant on one of my four-foot-planks:

The platelayers hut at Brasted, made from card for the building, paper for the roof, home made corrugated iron, coffee stirrers for the walls and plasticard for the chimney stack.

A 1/48th house.

Just thought I would share some of my builds all from art card and plasticard o gauge

The a start of an 7mm 3/4 relief build of the Earl of Dudley "Muck Works" on the Saltwells branch of the Pennsnett Railway.

 

 

 

Very slow build as still nursing badly cut finger and having to wear a protect glove.

the ingenuity of the modelers on this site never ceases to amaze me.  The quality and sheer diversity is mind blowing !

Hi 

 

I have been following this thread with amazement, my skills still have a very long way to go until I am anywhere near the standards that have been on display.  I have started though, this is a coal stage I scratchbuilt for my yard area on my Wakefield West layout.  I needed a NE styled coal stage and through some drawings obtained of the structure at North Blyth, I adapted it for the location on the layout (basically mirror imaged it to make the entry from the opposite end).

 

Here it is under construction. first the base - all Wills sheets with some scratchbuilt and some kitbashed windows and doors (the latter from a Dapol engine shed kit).

 

 

Constructing the upper portion:

 

 

and finished ready for painting and weathering

 

 

Initial placement on the layout:

 

A bit of a fuzzy close up:

 

 

and as a backdrop in various layout views:

 

 

 

and probably my favourite angle to view it

 

 

Cheers

Truly a great job on the coal stage, and in fact on the whole scene. Looking forward to seeing more. Even in an incomplete stage it's very evocative due to careful work and the eye of an artist.

Lancashire & Yorkshire Goods Shed ex 'East Lancs' design, thi is one of my favourite shots from my old Layout.

Stone colour desert yellow and matt black for the basic colour tone.

The 2nd photo shows the front view which was typical East Lancs.

Very nice modelling indeed.  Wakefield West eh?  Where's that supposed to be then?  Somewhere around the Horbury/Healey Mills area?  I sort of recognise the view of the backscene in the shed photo (or am I completely wrong and is it somewhere else entirely?!)

[trw1089]

Hi 5050

 

My layout topic is here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/89595-wakefield-west/

 

Basically it is based around Wakefield Westgate on the ECML to Leeds.  If I had the room I would model both the line to Ossett and Dewsbury and also Horbury cutting and Kirkgate, but the area around Westgate appealed to me given my BR (NE) interests.

 

The photo backscene is actually from an area further north, in the North Yorkshire national park, as when I was last over in 2011, we stayed in a small pub there and I took several landscape panoramas with a view to using them on the layout.  This one was the most similar to the rolling hills around Wrenthorpe and further north and the eye line was just about spot on for the area I was modelling.

 

Cheers

Really nice work!

Would love a detailed description of how you made the tarpaper roof on the first building. It is absolutely superb.

[Guest bri.s]

Here's my latest work in progress

 

It's based in the signal box that was at Blackmoor crossing on the old woodhead route I'll be calling my version Barnsley Central sidings instead

 

Thanks

 

Brian

[freebs]

You should mention that it's 2mm Brian. 

Suitably grotty!

[Guest bri.s]

Somehow, and much to my loss, I missed this post and what a post !

 

Apart from the absolutely perfect and faultless trackwork - and those sweeping curves !! - the whole layout is absolutely up there with the best and is a true work of art - LOVE it !!

 

Cheers.

Allan.
