allan downes Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi Allan I created the arch courses in some graphics software and printed them out, I use the drawing program that comes with the free LibreOffice suite and the Gimp. The arches I printed were not quite to the correct curve so I soaked the cut out prints backs with PVA for a few minutes which allows me to stretch and bend the paper a bit. Another small helpful piece of software is Bricks & Arches from here: http://www.bwwmrc.co.uk/bricks/ Thanks Campaman. Went to your link, got a headache and gave up ! Will get round it one way or another so many thanks anyway. Cheers. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 7, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2015 Superb modelling Lee, you really capture run-down industrial buildings. Is this building going to be under or near some trees? That would explain the vegetation around it. Al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted May 7, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Freebs, what did you use to do the roof surface, is it tissue paper or masking tape? Edited May 7, 2015 by acg_mr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebs Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Masking tape. Takes dry brushing really well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamiel Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Just thought I'd try put one right way up lol image.jpg Thanks Brian Is this based on a real station? I am sure I recognise it, or at least the style, especially with those chimneys. (Sorry if I have missed this somewhere earlier in the thread.) Lovely modelling.

Guest bri.s Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks Jamie It's based on cudworth midland station on the Sheffield Leeds midland old road it's for my new layout I'm starting I've a link to the thread in my signature And forgot to put it's N gauge Thanks Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 One of my bodges Earl of Dudley Muck Works on my 0 gauge Saltwells Branch. 2mm Liteply with embosed plastiKard overlays and a few bits of Wills sheet. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiel Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi BrianI didn't realise it was N gauge, which means it is twice as good as I had previously thought. I must have recognised it from the 'Railway Memories No 8 Barnsley Cudworth and Royston', well worth a purchase if you don' already have it.Lovely modelling, and I will follow the new layout with interest.________________________________________Lovely work on the above post too Mike, especially the corrigated roofs.Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
