Awesome. Thank you for the updates, fantastic.

Glad to hear it may be of use. The GWR stable blocks have been a bit ignored in my view, especially the larger ones. Let me know if I can help in any way with drawings etc.

 

I'm not sure what size and style the Chippenham one was, it will be very interesting to see what you come up with. I have found some additional stable blocks via the Britain from Above site, but haven't looked for Chippenham.

Hi Mikkel,

Thank you really appreciate your offer. I am still very much in the embryotic stages as I have a layout base but not completely happy with it so may dismantle and start again. I am still very much balancing time for researching and building. I, probably like a lot of people, tend to get submerged in building stock and various projects and forget to get the basics completed first. I have rediscovered my love from modelling recently but need to find more time to properly indulge but also need a layout, at least at running stage first.

Your picture of Chippenham from the air is excellent an one I have over looked for the surrounding station buildings. Thank you. I have a collection of old photographs from various view points around the station but nothing really of it's actual surrounding. 

I follow all your builds and topics with great interest. Fantastic work. I am still in two minds about a silhouette cutter but seem to have less time to spend on the computer so may not be able to fully use it's capabilities.

Thank you again. 

Mikkel, this is fabulous work and very interesting on various levels. I am planning a layout of Chippenham station and was worried about the stable block (plus many other things) and how it would have looked. I could not find anything of reference for this other than a footprint plan. Additionally I have been researching the possible use for a silhouette cutter for my buildings. Thank you for your inspirational modelling and blogs they are always a source of great interest.

Great job on the station building. I have been looking for Bath stone type covering and having the same mental debate as yourself, it seems. After not finding anything suitable I decided when I start again, (having semi built one before deciding it is accurate) to use Das on plasticard and scribe in the mortar lines. I prefer your choice of stone effect and will endeavour to find a local source. Thank you for your posting. I will continue watching with much interest.
