Going to watch this one with interest.

Excellent work. Michael

Not purchased from them for a while now but I have always found Digitrains staff very helpful and pleasant and give good advice as well as an excellent mail order service. Michael

Hi Shaun, Thank you very much for the kind words, yes it is 4mm and you're right about the camera showing up things that wouldn't normally be seen. It's guy's like yourself and other scratch builders on here that gives us beginners the inspiration to have a go at scratch building and to try to produce some buildings that are somewhere close to the excellent work that has been produced here by you guy's. Michael

Great work so far Carl, following this with interest and looking forward to more. Michael

Excellent work there, I enjoyed looking at the build photos, well done! Michael

Thanks for the comment Rob, yes it does need a bit more work done to finish, not sure about the White doors. Michael

This is my very first attempt at scratch building, I needed a CLASP style building to represent an admin and TOPS office for my ongoing layout I overlaid perspex with Slaters 2mm planked plasticard and Evergreen strip for the window frames etc and used a piece of wet and dry on the roof to represent roofing felt, I also added some 'Faller' office furniture inside, I may fit lighting yet. The building didn't turn out quite as good as I had hoped but I don't think it too bad for a first attempt but please let me know what you guy's think. Michael [ [/[/url] [[/url]

You have produced some excellent work there Rob, working slowly certainly pays dividends as can be seen by your work. With me it's always s**t or bust which is why I make so many mistakes! Michael

Great work! The water is excellent. Michael

No, the flats are still there and still occupied but they have had some modernisation work done over the years so they look a little different now, I had a couple of school mates who lived there in the 1970s. Michael

Looking forward to more on this one. Michael

Hello Dave, You are definitely right about those new houses next to Malvin's Road, I think those homeowners are going to have problems in the future. It's always great to see pic's of Blyth, I remember it all so well, thanks for posting. I hope that your mum is a bit more comfortable now. Michael

Hi Dave, I'm really sorry to hear of your mums fall, please pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery and as already said look after yourself too, as you know I'm in the same town so if there is anything at all I can help with please let me know. Best wishes to you both. Michael

All the best to everyone, yes had a quick look through and have to say I'm very impressed so far. This book has definitely been worth waiting for! Michael

Got an email saying book would be delivered two days after receiving email, guess what..........no book!

Thanks for the update Martin. Michael

Looks like a cracking book to look forward too!

Some more great work there! Michael

I'm not familiar with Yorkshire at all so for me these photos and drawings are great to see, thanks for posting. Michael

Glad you got sorted Mal. Michael

Sorry Mal but I couldn't say for sure. Michael

Hello Mal, Not sure if this might help but the shop is only a few miles away at Cullercoats. https://www.esr.co.uk/ Michael

You have done some great work there, the ivy growing on the office wall looks great. Michael

Hi Mike, Excellent work so far, following this with interest. Michael
