Jaz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I probably cant read for looking back at the pages but how much extra length does the old loft part give you on AV. the new loft where AV is 43ft 9in, and approx 11f6in wide with two side of 4ft3in of layout. the old loft (not including the 4ft of stair access) is about 40 give or take a foot, (so about the 44ft in total length)it is almost the same length as the new loft. there is 30ft or so in length with a similar same width of 11ft6in and is the same height, but at the end the last 10ft it is only 8ft wide and not so high, there is a wider part than 11foot 6in but it is also is not so high, these two areas might not turn out to be even good fiddle yard areas but will at the least be extra storage. So to recap approx 35 odd foot by 11ft 6in of good usable area, and some scrappy areas which we are not yet certain of. So we believe conservatively there is about 80feet of good loft space by 11foot wide although a certain person said we could take a helix down to the double garage....... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) That Young Lady, would need slightly more than a Helix me thinks hahhahah A firemans pole would have been fun, but I think we're a little to old for that nowadays.....we did consider a spiral staircase but once you sized them em they needed a room of their own!!!!!!! Perhaps a slide.......and some mats at the end... commonswekipedia.org have you eve noticed that a helper skelter looks like a DALEK????? Perhaps I should short sort out 1. The Dr Who I was supposed to do ages ago 2. Build a helter skelter for the 1960s Heartbeat area, and for those scary cows.clowns...the helter-skelter could be made to look quite like a giant DALEK!!!!!1 3. Maybe I should contact the BBC and sell them the storyline Edited October 4, 2014 by Jaz 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Unitmodels 2.25 fans-mixed rmweb3047detailing I did my usual google search, and found mostly aluminium or galvanised ones so that's what i decided to try I started off with a metallic finish for the fins of the fan... rmweb3049detailing mweb3048detailing9 I wasn't particularly impressed, but I have often started out bad and gotten better so carried on... I then tried an aluminium fan outside, and the whole colour was rather blah.....no definition so I thought maybe the resin is too see through I'll put up a white matt and paint on it rmweb3050detailing11 and dirtied it.....well there is nothing I like so far....... The shadow in the depth has a little merit.....but no too impressed 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I did do another attempt did not like that either....and the paint is getting a bit thick!!! so I did another google search and went back to white.... rmweb3051detailing12 but did the dirt differently. And this time added some green growth I can only link the original as its only available as a buy product... http://www.adpic-images.com/royaltyfree_pictures/Real%20Estate/Miscellaneous/Fan_of_old_airconditioner_59797.html era the colours I ended up using rmweb3052detailing13 I also cut some small squares, painted and supeglued them as labels.... I glued a couple together ggggrrrrrr, I got a couple too wet ggggrrrr....one hit the floor.....I didn't even blink...it was lost and i wasn't looking foe something THAT small..... I ended up with way to much glue.....and they are goopy and need to dry...... the two on the far right on the 'cleaner' air conditioners are most noticeable rmweb3053detailing14 once the 'mess' is dry I will copydex them on to a building or two for you to see what you think. Lessons learned...... put a prey or black 'primer' on first when using resin the light shows through use thin paint...otherwise the detailing disappears at speed!!!!! f at first you don't get a result you like....try try again....and if you can't get a good facsimile of the picture you are working on? Get another picture!!!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted October 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2014 I like the top two, and the middle two are very effective. Not sure on the bottom two as the glossy brown/muck colour looks a bit much to me. But I'm looking forward to seeing where they go from here as I regularly look at your starting points wondering what on earth you're doing and something magical always happens along the way. That's one of the thing I like most about this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the thing I like most about this thread. Yes, I agree, I thought that of the top and middle two originally and put some more white back..... Once I have trailed them we'll see which looks best....I may need to grot the building down to match such filthy units tho...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I also decided to get on with the pylons and make the other two. I should be able to 'repair' the damaged one... rmweb3054detailing15 Then learnt a valuable lesson.....when you but plastic kits.... and open them....BEFORE you cut them up....check the mouldings carefully...while you can still send them back!!!!! rmweb3055detailing16 the bottom of this leg has to stand in a 'foot' so I will need to address this.......

Jaz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Also I have done these the vents on the left rmweb3045detailing6 looking at this you need to check and clean up the resin occasionally as well rmweb3046deailing the one to the right is plain grey, and the two to the left are galvanised using a silver grey which i water before i put it on dabbing only here and there rmweb3058detailing18 then adding some dirt around the crevices and further back....not so in your face... rmweb3060detailing20 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I did the grills but I think they need more...I suspect they would always be in shadow rmweb3059detailing I don't have a real dirty factory building with a flat roof, this is the Hornby Cinema rmweb3061detailing21 align my shadow with the real shadow rmweb3062detailing22 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Spalding station is getting a small over haul rmweb3068spalding station3 As you can see it is a fairly attractive building rmweb3069spaldingstation4 with some nice architectural details Before the days of Beeching it was massive and is now reduced to just 2 two tracks and two platforms. rmweb3070spaldingstation5 It is not even open 24/7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Well the fans still need to be boxed...but this is where I am going with them rmweb3089spaldingstation24 the cleanest one the grubby one rmweb3090spladingstation25 and a vent positioned....though it will need to be angled at the bottom if permanently placed on this type of roof rmweb3091spaldingstation26 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I painted and 'signed' these some time ago. They are from Ten Commandments, and were plain white plaster when I started. The labels if I remember correctly were in the kit. Being low relief they will come in handy. At the moment they just sit in their boxes until being issued a final position. They are most likely to go on the back scene in the old loft in places where the back scene needs a bit of added interest. rmweb3092spaldingstation27 rmweb3093spaldingstation28 I am thinking the cleaner ones look better once placed on buildings...... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
