Highlandman Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) My humble offering of a nearly finished Harbour Master's office for my Salcombe Harbour layout. Just the guttering and downpipes to paint and stick on and then adorn with sign posts and lifebelts. Please excuse the rather messy work area.

Giles Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Finally finished this building! The slates went on today - they were from York laser, and pretty good. They still took long enough to put on, so doing it totally by hand would have been a right 'mare! The door has also been added (etched brass with a dress makers pin for a knob......) There will be another building stood in front of the pale bit in the middle! Edited October 23, 2015 by Giles 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi ALAN, They come a uniform grey, and of course they the need working into a bit afterwards - but I would certainly use them again - they worked well, and saved a lot of trouble.... I worked into them with thin enamel washes, then a water based wash, a scrub over with graphite powder, then a little dry-brushing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbutty Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Here is the latest build. Based on the United Free church in Gordon in the Scottish Borders. The initial part was built in 1843 with the red sandstone porch tower and belfry added in 1893. Ollie. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiel Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Just to echo Giles recommendation of the York lazer cut slates. I have found them really good to work with.I probably hacked them around just a little too much on this building (using a scalpel to nick odd ones, and cut some out and slip them down a tad like an old slate starting to come loose).Painted and weathered (Humbrol stale grey, which is quite a green grey).Page 6 on my layout thread has a bit showing their use, and painting up.http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/53110-ellerby-a-bit-crosti-recently/page-6Jamie Edited November 18, 2015 by Jamiel 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Isambard Kingdom Brunel Posted November 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2015 After Posting a couple of photos in the MRJ 242 Thread I was advised to post some photos here This is Llanfyllin a Cambrian / GWR Terminus Most of these photos were taken about 3 years ago when I was building the layout on a positive basis. Unfortunately not long after that a family illness has meant I don't get out to the shed as often as I would like. I have recently started building again, and will need to take some more photos 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted November 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2015 Here are a couple of my efforts at scratchbuilding. Not great, but making progress nonetheless! Public House on the left and Station Masters House on the right, followed by a Goods Shed. All in 4mm scale. The pub was made from 5mm foam board covered with PVA and Polyfilla. Windows were laser cut (custom made) with opening top windows by L Cut Creative. The roof tiles are from Barleycorn Designs. The House was my very first attempt using 5mm foam board and Slaters plasticard. Windows were made from Plastruct strips (never again!) The Goods Shed was made using 5mm foam board, covered with 7mm Slaters Plasticard. Roof tiles were Barleycorn Designs and windows were from Brassmasters (etched Brass used for Scalescenes kits). Not quite the standard of some of them on here!!! I am blown away by the skill and attention to detail from the modelers on here.

brylonscamel Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) A rather simple project but this small workshop has just come off my cutting mat .. and it marks a bit of a switch to using plastic sheet rather than paper and card. (I make no claims to have built the hoist, which is a Bachmann item to complete the picture!) Edited November 22, 2015 by brylonscamel 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

baconbutty Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The High Street John Ahern’s high street really intrigued me the way it curved round into the distance and was the inspiration for my high street. The buildings are based on those in the area around Kelso Square. Initial concept. How it turned out. Ollie. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
