Building large structures in Styrene


Neville

Recommended Posts

Yeh it's me again but don't worry I'll soon be out of here for six weeks in merry England away from my photos and modelling.

Here are some buildings I have built over the years I am only an average modeller not a detail freak and haven't a artistic bone in my body so if I can build something others could do better.

 

Fabrication Shop 3mm styrene covered with Wills asbestos sheets.

 

Engine house same materials as above

 

Cement unloader (Cement Hoppers)

Here is a freight house with 12mm wood walls and DPM inserts.

But first the temp that day in the garage. (that was this year)

 

Then S Brooklyn freight house

 

S Brooklyn Produce freight house

 

Small power house

 

Small military workshop

 

And a kitbashed Heljan engine house one road in, the rest a workshop (this building is going on a future portable layout part of the roof comes off to show a fully detailed workshop)

 

That just about does it for me for a while hope I haven't gone to far, didn't mean to just happened.

I have a compulsive disorder that when I start something I go a bit crazy for a while, sometimes I work all night till the missus brings me back to earth and straightens me out.

Take care. Nev.

Very nice,

 

Can I ask how you attach the cladding sheets to large areas of styrene (i.e. what glue?) and do you clad both sides to equalise the stresses and strains of thermal movement? - It's obviously quite stable, even in high temperatures!

Well it,s quite warm in London at the moment.

The cladding is just glued with any kind of styrene glue faller is a good brand and I only glue one side never had a problem yet I do use a lot of glue take the dispenser tube off and almost paint it on.

I think I don,t get any warping is because I use 2-3 mm thick sheet.

Using a ipad at the moment plenty mistakes.

Neville now in London uk.
