Marcus 37 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sorry I haven't popped in for a while David. Nice job with the sheds. Definitely got the Knottingly feel about them. As for building structures you could also try foam board as a base. Cuts easy so you can easily get it square and also nice and sturdy. Once you've built the structure you can just clad with whatever material you like i.e plasticard. Most of my scratch built buildings on PDW are foam board construction. The only thing I will say is don't use a solvent base glue to attach the cladding or you end up with out gassing which distorts the plastic due to fumes building up underneath. I have found PVA works perfectly fine as long as you are patient. It's not overly expensive either. Got 10 A1 sheets for about £20 on eBay and I've still got loads left over now having built the station, two bridges, maintenance shed and Peak Dale products buildings along with several other bits and pieces. Keep up the good work mate Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Really coming on well David. The foam board is great isn't it. You can soon knock up some buildings with it. Just to fore warn. Don't use a solvent based glue, like I did to start with, to attach any cladding. It ends up out gassing and warping. I now use PVA which seems to work well. Also I've been told double sided tape is good. Great work mate. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Cheers guys, they do look good next task is setting the boards up and getting the track laying started, doing my mates track really spurred me on to want to get mine done I've got the cork and most of the track so I'm doing a shopping list for what else I need probably some wood for legs for the layout and some corner strengtheners, more because of my lack of faith in my board building that the boards themselves, a couple more right hand points and I think I'm set. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
