As for the military layout corner itself, the next few projects will be:

 

- Loading ramp to the side of one of the track spurs so vehicles can embark/disbark. Styled similar to this

Primarily as a ramp at the buffer end would take up too much space at the railhead.

 

- Installing a workshop for a single track and vehicle access. Found an old card kit that will do as I was unable to find any suitable Romney/Nissen designs out there.

 

- New security hut, to compliment one I have from the V1 layout. 

 

- Carparking adjacent to main gate.

FYI A Hong Kong company called Tiny has introduced a series of diecast models many of which are 00 scale. One such model is of a Saxon armoured car. It can be found on e-bay item # 191862679040.

WIP on a Romney hut. Basic but much still to do. It will be intergrated into the backscene to give false perspective.

 

That particular spur I will use locos, and the one next to it for "internal" wagon storage. The other two spurs seen further up will be used for wagon vehicle loading.

Minor update, removed the doors of the Romney as they looked too bulky. Might replace it with a "roller" door instead. Will also repaint to a nice OD and weather it.

 

Also acquired a Mk1 Brake in olive to put in a siding, as i've seen similar in the MR Military issue.

Just catching up with the thread, the Romney huts I knew, had a pair of conventional swing open wooden doors.

Sorry for lack of updates. Got 2x 70's era, and 2x 90's era Warwells for now. I did want some 2000's but as they have more than just differences in paintjob i'll likely wait for a more accurate kit.

 

As an aside, managed to get hold of some LMR J94's for another future project.
