Mike Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Today as promised by the supplier my 2mm Lite Ply arrived, so in my usual way I started drawing the Earl of Dudleys Muck works straight onto the wood. So far I have cut out both ends and the front wall, I'll post photos giving a blow by blow account of the build just to give you all a bit of amusement.

F-UnitMad Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You'll need to fit in a Brass Foundry somewhere as well, Mike... i.e., "Where there's Muck, there's....... /got coat, out the door already.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Muck Works project under way, so here's a couple of happy snaps, my usual construction methods, 2mm Lite-Ply skinned with plasticard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 How do you stick the plasticard to the wood, Mike? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 How do you stick the plasticard to the wood, Mike? Hi Jordan, I use Evostick Impact Glue spread very-very thinly . I have never had a failure yet.Oops! shouldn't have said that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 A bit more work on the main carcass, the blank section to the left of the loading doorway will have ventilation slats. OK, I know I've left the clamps on, just until the glue dries. and no it's not a goods shed, all will be revealed as the project continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 The bodge continues with a bit more work on the Muck Works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted September 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looking really good. I particularly like the holes in the corrugated sheeting. Planning ahead for little details like that is definitely a gift! I'm looking forward to following this one right through. Do you have a plan of the whole lot (Reely Grate, Primrose Hill and the link) together, as I'm trying to picture how it all pans out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Oooooh nice, looking good Mike, is it going to be just a straight run by or will this sector have at least one siding? Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi guys, here's a rough plan of how it should link together (Warley 2015) I've only included the Muck Works, but there will be a lot more going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted September 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks Mike. I really like that. I know you said earlier that Primrose Hill would be a mirror image, but I didn't really get it straight in my head how it would work. I'm now really looking forward to seeing it all at Warley 2015, and we've not even got to Warley 2014 yet! I will continue to eagerly watch as things progress!

Mike Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well it's Doctors tomorrow, second dressing to be taken off, so hopefully it will be back to modelling, of course that depends when my order for plastic sections arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hope it goes well for you tomorrow, for me it took 4 dressing changes before they left it uncovered and that was with butterfly dissolving strips fitted, in fact they added more on the 2nd visit.. By coincidence I've been sorting through my plastic "U" + "H" looking for suitable lintel sizes and some to make an overhead crane gantry from. Got some but I'll probably have to make a visit to my local shop to collect some more. Fingers crossed. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Well with a little bit of care, modelling is about to start again. Sylmasta have come up trumps with my order for plastic profiles, order placed pm on the 6th received am on the 7th, fantastic service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 OK. First day back at the bench, well a couple of hours really. Have added the canopy a section of guttering and made the louvered section to the left of the front doorway. The roof is not fixed in place as the interior needs modelling.

Barnaby Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Realy sharp looking corugated sheet there Mike. Who's is it as it looks like it has the fixing bolts moulded in like Wills sheet does but they look bigger/0 gauge size? ☺ regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Realy sharp looking corugated sheet there Mike. Who's is it as it looks like it has the fixing bolts moulded in like Wills sheet does but they look bigger/0 gauge size? ☺ regards Sorry to say, but they are Wills Asbestos Sheets. Always think they are too big for 00 so about right for 0(at least that's my excuse). The vents are some triangular strip fitted to a peice of 10thou black plasticard. Door planking is scribed using a scrawker, stone work is again Wills and the brickwork Slaters all assembled on to 2mm lite-ply. Just trawling the web to check out rotary slag processors so I can build the interior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Today has been about building my interpretation of the slag convertor, using in Blue Peter fashion Sticky black Plastic and Toilet Roll tube. Now in primer, will post pics once it's painted, : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
