  1. This is the city's major department store, name yet to be decided. I've drawn up some shop windows and doors for 3d printing. It's ideal for mass production of identical items. Here printed off on card so I can mock up the facade. Not sure on the central roof structure yet. The present one is intended to be similar to the roof shape on the corner pavilions but it's not doing it for me.
  2. Thanks guys, I've got the scale link fret but was looking for the more ornate ones. Dean
  3. I am looking for some brass Fleur de lys roof ridge tiles. I am almost certain mike's models did them back in the day. Photo shows the style of thing
  4. Why finish one project when you can start another. This is the back of the Kibri townhouse used to create the building above. Bit of cutting and shunting and we have another kitbashed city building. Sides are from an auhagen kit. This I think will either be a bank, a pub or an in insurance office.
  5. More slates arrived today so lot more roof done. Will finish that off tomorrow and fettle some chimney stacks to match the roof pitch.
  6. Is this what the exciting new announcement of a new train on Facebook four hours ago is all about?
  7. A parade of chimney stacks and crown pots. These arrived today from Model Railway Scenes. Nice crisp prints and beautiful dainty pots. I've added a stone cap to the stacks If I have a complaint it's that the odd dimensions of the stacks. There are two wide for a single flue and not really wide enough for a double flu. I think they are intended to be one flue wide by two deep, but again the depth is just a bit two deep for two flues by half a brick. Anyway I don't think the six pots look two crowded on top. The do a range of stacks with various angles depending on the pitch of your roof, of these that you can cut to your own angle. Now I need to finish of the slates and finally decide where to place the stacks so as to serve the notional rooms below.
  8. So made a start with the redutex roof slates. Not much done as I only bought one sheet to use on something else. I'm quite pleased with it. Cuts easily and is nice and flexible, allowing it to be pushed into awkward corners and the trimmed. Other projects in the pipeline, the towns monument to Admiral Lord Nelson, made from an old cast clock column and a delivery prado figure. Just a pedestal to knock up to put it all on and of course a coat of paint. I've long yearned to get the Walthers Milwaukee Station and finally succumbed last September. With some modification such as new arched central entrance and ground floor shops this will become the front of the town's market hall
  9. So roof all shaped up,skylight left over from Walthers Union station added. I'm going to try the redutex self adhesive slates, a first for me so wish me luck. Chimneys bought from one of the 3d printers, Model Railway Scenes, if any knows them. 3d printing has made me lazy.
  10. Any chance of restoring the photos
  11. Roof shaping up Roof at the back still to shape up, and I'm thinking of some kind of spire/cupola on the corner and perhaps some ornamental dormers.
  12. Thanks, Tatty. Yes lots of work to do on the roof, including tying those gables to the main roof.
  13. Wellington chambers has had a coat of grey and the windows have been installed. Now got to work out the roof.
