Yes it's another Timber Track's kit, but with a Severn Models Photo-etch interior, some bits from Scale Model Scenery and a Modelu Signalman.

 

Considering it's size this was quite a lengthy build:

 

First up building the basic structure, this follows the general layers approach of a Timber Tracks kit.

 

 

There's also a nifty jig to help build the staircase.

 

 

I also had the challenge of building a photo-etch interior from Severn Models, the basic construction was fiddly, but straight forward.

 

 

The interior is what took the time, as it all had to painted, glazing installed, provision for lighting included and of course painting the photo-etch (which for the most part was done by hand)

 

 

 

 

 

Once this was done, the roof, chimney and gable ends were added.

 

 

The slate roofing was then added and the painting began..

 

 

 

The guttering and down-pipes were fitted and the painting completed.

 

 

 

The Thornbury Nameplate was then added and the whole structure was weathered, before it big reveal..

 

 

 

 

 

And that is definitely all on the buildings front till next year..

 

Till next time
