RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted January 12, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2018 Planning permissions and plans have been passed by the GLC and work can now start on the Thorburn Bain & Co factory.The plan is to print out the sections on to paper, then glue them to mount board with pritstick, then cut out all the window apertures. I am going to build this as sections as you can see from the drawing the first three sections have been drawn up and work will commence with these. All the best Adrian. ps; a right click on the drawing will make it easier to read. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted January 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 17, 2018 Work has started on the Thorburn, Bain & Co Ltd envelope factory. Material for the carcass/carcase? has been delivered in the form of my favourite material, a Worcester Bosch boiler box, courtesy of my next door neighbour who is a plumber. It is a very heavy duty type of corrugated card and is most suitable for a structure of this length. White mount board has been used to form a back drop for the windows and also provides extra bracing, pva glue has been used to glue everything in place. As usual I hope the photos show what has been done so far. All the best Adrian. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted January 19, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2018 Shelves is what I was going to say. That will be one amazing building when you have finished it. I did think that as it was an 'Envelope Factory' you were going to make it out of envelopes. What you need is at least a piece of card in it from one of those envelopes used to send important documents. (PM me if you want a piece, although only being A4 it might only be enough for the sign.)

RMweb Gold westerhamstation Posted January 25, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 25, 2018 Now this bit is fairly boring, It involves cutting out some of the window openings in the mount board which will form the outer walls. A paper print out of the position of the windows was pasted to the mount board. then the window openings were cut out with a stanley knife and steel rule, after they were all cut out, some card strips have been glued to the back for reinforcement. A start has been made on covering the panels with some dark brown brick paper. Some pictures of work so far. All the best Adrian. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
