Thanks Will.

Thanks to both of you, I really appreciate it. It’s coming along now, and I’m hoping to be finished in a month (even though I’m waiting for glue at the moment!) or so now the big bits are close to finished. I love the Metcalfe kits, they’re quick to do and you can adapt them easily. I’m going to miss doing this when I’m finished though.

Thanks again.

Yesterday’s work when the glue ran out...the standing in the foreground was a hangover from when there was a bridge here. I decided to break between the loading area and holding spur. I used a couple of containers, weathered them heavily and put them in place to look abandoned. I think there’s going to be a crane on the spur, but I had it earmarked for a covered goods area earlier. The crane might have it though, the gantry support isn’t far away and it might look better being a bit dilapidated in this area. I think some serious weeding is needed, but not in the normal sense...

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Steve, that’s a great idea. You’re right on the corners, I added them to the original warehouse yesterday, so they will tie in nicely here. It’ll continue the pattern of the right hand side a lot better as well. That’s tomorrow night sorted!

Thanks again,

Charlie

Thanks George.

Thank you both, I’m afraid the seam is my fault, it should have a hoist, and could have been avoided in my bashing. I took an easy way out in it!

Thanks again.

Thanks both of you for your kind comments. I hadn’t thought of any of these and my thoughts on the pipe entry were a bit clumsy in comparison.

Motivated now to get this finished!

Thanks again.

Glad I could help and thanks for the comments. I saw your earlier post Steve, I think you got your answer, it’s scalescenes clapboard glued onto mountboard, then I cut single strips to add the details and deepen the shadow underneath with humbrol smoke weathering powder.

Thanks again.

I’m sorry but all I can tell you is it’s Hornby. I picked it up at a car boot and it needs couplings. Afraid I can’t be of any more help.

Thanks Mikkel. 

Thanks Mick, glad you like it.

Thanks for the kind comments, glad you like it.

Really well observed, great job!

Thank you both, I will try the wash.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind comments, I've had a lot of bits for a long time and it's starting to come together now.

Thanks Mikkel. I'm looking for potential operations for this warehouse so I can add a bit more 'life' to it. At the moment it's a bit Heath Robinson but it's getting there I hope.
