Benbow Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I thought it was about time I did a bit of an update as I haven't posted anything yet on the new incarnation of RM Web! As my skills are slowly developing I have decided to re-make the station building which is based on the one at Shillingstone. I was never very happy with the first attempt. The recent cold weather has given me the chance to get on as work outside is off the agenda Below hopefully you will see progress so far. I have continued with using brick paper as I just can't seem to get on with plasticard. I find the relief on brickwork rather too deep and have difficulty getting a good colour rendition but that's just me, others seem to get an excellent effect. hope you like the pics and comments as ever are welcomed. Belated Happy New Year to all Regards Roger Old station in situ Outline mounted on card Cut out with inner end started Inner end cut Corners rough mitered and coated with super glue Superglued mitres filed to give good edge Trial fit End bricked up Completed end Interior Platform side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Very effective Roger Corners rough mitered and coated with super glue Superglued mitres filed to give good edge Is this standard practice or a technique you've developed? Do you then use superglue to make the joins as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Looking good, keep at it, just a pity it's not portable.We could do with more prototypical locally based layouts at our show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams442T Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Excellent Roger. What is the thickness of card you are using, and how did you make the windows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebnoswal Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Good to see you've made it onto the new forum. Do you have plans for your good shed or have you used modellers licence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbow Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks for the comments 10800. Read it somewhere! It certainly works, once dry the card can be filed to shape and sanded. bike2steam. Working on it! Adams 442T. I use ordinary mounting card approx 1.3mm thick. Multiples as required and thiner card for details. I use A4 self adhesive labels to print out the layers and then combine them to produce the finished item. Hopefully the pics below make it clear. Ben. Can we have some of your sunshine please it is b****y freezing here The goods shed was based on Sturminster Newton (your layout I believe) and built from a couple of photos so it is mainly made up.

Chris Nevard Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Splendid work Roger - you've really captured the feel of the rarely modelled southern section of the S&D. I like your use of colour too! Any more pics of the rest of the layout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted January 10, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 10, 2010 Those blinded doors and windows are brilliantly done Roger, and you really demonstrate what can be done with card modelling. Very inspiring, thanks! :icon_thumbsup2: I'll echo the call for more photos please :icon_wave: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Splendid work Roger - you've really captured the feel of the rarely modelled southern section of the S&D. I like your use of colour too! Any more pics of the rest of the layout? Quite right Chris, the character of the S&D south of Templecombe makes it almost a different railway from the northern section. Corfe Mullen Jn would make be an interesting prototype to model, where the double track from Blandford becomes single to Broadstone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebnoswal Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Blandford & Webb Lorry Gday Roger, Nice lorry. I have recently just found a photo of a similar lorry (I think), parked at the rear of the Blandford +Webb building at Sturminster Newton. Its particular obscured by the 2 people standing in front of it, but from what I can see, the rear axle and tailgate, the paint scheme resembles yours, though my photo is in black and white. The vehicle registration in my photo is CPR 81. If you havent planted your lorry permanently yet, is there any chance you could send me photos (sides, front and rear) please. What type of lorry is it? I may be able to find an N gauge one. Also, how did make the signage on the sides and rear of the lorry; are they specially designed transfers or another method? Thanks Ben of Oz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbow Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 A bit more progress on the Station Building. Next job is to start on the awning. Picture of the actual building also attached. Why is it when you do a site visit you never get the one picture you really need when you get home? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
