allan downes Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 LNWR. I don't care whether it's scratchbuilt or not. It's bloody marvelous ! Best foot bridge I've seen yet - awesome ! Cheers. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol Wilkinson Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks Allan, BT4 and cornamuse. The station buildings and footbridge are the first buildings I have made, so I fell back on techniques I became used to when designing etched kits to draw up the laser cut parts. The station building roofs also have etched brass canopy brackets and valances that I designed based on LNWR drawings. Jol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 As a bit of light relief to all the finished buildings on the thread, here's one under construction. It's based on Steven's Corn Store, which was at the end of Bodmin North (LSWR) station down in Cornwall. It's being made from plasticard for my 7mm layout Pencarrow Bridge. Still lots to do but this is two months worth of on and off modelling time. This is my first attempt at a 7mm building and this is a monster at 750mm long. rps20150817_182614.jpg rps20150819_220939.jpg rps20150818_225221.jpg rps20150820_212402.jpg rps20150822_211428.jpg rps20150829_222913.jpg rps20150831_225320.jpg rps20150831_225443.jpg rps20150831_233558.jpg All the stonework is hand scribed and the roof tiles individually laid. The painting is mostly primer with an experimental patch of colour added to see how it looks. Still lots to do. Lots more photos and text in my Pencarrow thread from page 93 onwards. Oh, here's a close-up of a patch of scribed stonework painted up as an experiment. post-6675-0-00908900-1439057756_thumb.jpg This quality modelling, inspirational museum quality stuff sir, I applaud your attention to detail. Copying a prototype often produces the best results. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) LNER modular concrete hut based on the one in Bury St Edmunds. photo 2.JPGphoto 1.JPG I think this large scale stuff is cheating....sooner or later someone is going to take pictures of a 12"/1ft garden shed and display it here as a large model with a giant hand photo-shopped on to try and fool us.... Only joking, Brushy, that's a great model of something that lots of people would not consider taking that much trouble over. Nice to see a ledged, braced and planked door made properly.

David41283 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Here is my first scratch-built 2mm scale building. It is made from cereal box card and a few off-cuts of mount board. It is covered with scalescenes papers, the drainpipes are plastic rod and the cable runs are 0.33mm handrail wire. Windows are strips of address label on clear plastic packaging. The fire hose and db board are from other scalescenes kit and the roof is a plastic moulding. The steps are made from squares of 1mm mountboard painted with a concrete colour. It is based on the building just off the end of Platform 1 at Westbury, but is a mirror image to suit the location on the layout. It is designed to be a yard office/mess. (unfortunately in this pic the cable run from the db board on the front looks like the edge of a badly placed piece of paper - but it isn't, honest!) It is approx 30mm wide, 100mm long and around 50mm tall. Cheers David 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campaman Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 My go at a Clyde Puffer Made from Card with a few bits of plastic tube and a bit of chain, railings soldered up from paperclips. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well, it may not measure up to some of the models on this thread, but here is my latest scratchbuilding effort anyway, based on a shed at Haymarket depot in the '80s. It's been shortened and narrowed to fit the space I have available, but hopefully it retains the character of the prototype building. The interior has been detailed and fitted with working lights. All signs are fitted using blue-tac and so can be easily changed for a change in period. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
