M Graff Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi all. I know this isn´t OO scale, but I hope that it will be okay.. I started on a new build the other day. A Fine Scale Models kit: The two stall engine house that had the Gorre & Daphetid engine house as its prototype: It is a very nice kit with one big setback: the windows......they were printed on celluloid: I made my own using slide covers. And one smaller quirk, the foundation. It was supposed to be pebbles glued onto the lower walls, but I thought it looked unrealistic. I added some mortar to it with tile grout! . This is how it looks now after a few days work: The windows were made with a technical pen on slide covers that I had cut with a diamond tip scriber.. I made a template for the mullions. I would like to make this building with lights and full interior. After looking around the Web and on various forums, I got really inspired and got busy. The kit had some rather nice castings which I added with some from the scrap box. It is a bit fiddly to paint the small details, but with good light it works alright. I think it is getting there.

Peppercorn Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 A superb building, and, no, I for one am not going to worry that it doesn't happen to be in my chosen scale. Superb. Cliff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
