Chubber Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Herewith my slant on John's lovely country pub. I have printed the roof on 140lb/sq in watercolour paper to give a little texture, and have indented the hanging tile fronts with a 1mm screwdriver, in a crude 'Pendon' way though I'm not too sure if I like the effect. I have only very lightly weathered it. !/2 round and 1mm plastic rod make up the guttering and a length of solder wrapped in tiny strips and florists wire make the plumbing and soil vent pipe at the rear. I chose to add Scalescenes flashing over that on the print-out and fitted 'flexible' chimney pots. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold McRuss Posted January 9, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2011 Doug, your pub looks great. I wonder, if the Scalescenes pub could be used in a scottish location. The roof and hanging tiles could be changed with the slate roof from Scalescenes, but would the timberframe on the side would be typical for a location in the highlands?

Markus Well, Markus, I'm no expert but none of my architectural books show wooden framed buildings in Scotland. From my limited personal knowledge of Scottish pubs, they are/were either low single/double storey stone, square fronted buildings in rural locations, or, in towns were hotels. The picture below of one of my 'flatscenes' is the sort of thing I'm on about, Scalescenes squared rubble, windows from a texture site and doors from http://www.distinctivedoors.co.uk/ They were often rendered and lime washed. Door download courtesy of Mr R Staniforth, Distinctive Doors. His site contains plenty of good quality downloads in all styles/eras and he has kindly agreed to allow railway modellers to use and display his site illustrations, and would be grateful for a credit where appropriate.

Chubber Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks, Neal. Whilst I'm here, may I be bold enough to offer a valuable tip if you choose to build it ? Before cutting out your roof parts, indeed before gluing them to the card, prick through them onto some spare card so that you can have a dry run, and if necessary, trim or adjust the spare card pieces to use as patterns. I am glad I did so, as a succinct amount of trimming was needed to ensure the meeting of the major roofs produced a truly parallel valley line.

Mustermark Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 That's a great model. Superb job. I like the plumbing at the back especially. Some good tips too - thank you for posting those. I will try to do the same kind of thing when I get my N gauge kit printed off. Thanks for the inspration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Re Markus question - I think there is a model railway called something like East Neuk with a harbour and a castle on it - it has been shown on RMweb, - that has a Black and white building beside a harbour - perhaps someone else knows which one I mean - that is a very nice building Doug! Edit - it might be called Crail, by Neil S Wood, if that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanno Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi, can this be printed off with out the pub signs Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 As it comes with a variety of Pub Signs I would imagine that the signs are a seperate entity, even if not it wouldn't be too hard to re-print part of the kit to patch it up and remove the signs.

Chubber Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Deanno, all the signs are PISIOLOs....... [Print it, stick it on later objects....] I'm in that sort of mood today. 'The Good Companion' sign features my Border Terrier, Bisto. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanno Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ok, that's good news about the signs. I was thinking of using this as a farm house, needs a little modding here and there. But as it can be scaled down to ho size, it looks far better than any thing else i can find. Dean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
