binny Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi George Hope the railway company funds run to a toilet roof. I would not fancy reading my paper and looking at the stars at the same time. Binny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PeterBB Posted August 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 10, 2016 George, It's been interesting to see you use plywood so well - I have recently been discussing buildings with those who build with plastic and those who build with cardboard as well as wood. It becomes personal preference ... for me I still have some unbuilt cardboard from 30 plus years ago so perhaps I will put these together when on holiday sometime. Young granddaughter wanted Thomas today and while putting a 6' x 4' together I realised that I had Xn old cardboard signal boxes and other buildings as well as a number of small plastic kits so I might as well prime them and stick them together to fill yet another cardboard box.

georgeT Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Thanks for the whitty comments and the likes guys, makes it all worthwhile, waiting for some more plywood to arrive, l have used ply - plastic - card in most of my building ventures over the years, case of whats at hand never had any problems with using card, once its painted you cant tell card from plastic.. going to add the DAS clay soon, then scribe some stonework to the shed, should be fun... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If they come out half as good as the Trebudoc Buildings mate, then I'm sure they will look great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Added the roof to the toilet and workshop and marked out where to cut the tiles, going to try something different on the shed walls, instead of using DAS clay and getting messy l am going to scribe the plywood instead should be a lot less messy ?. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 A lot of hard work has gone into that by the looks of it, brilliant mate. Thanks Andy, l have as you know built many building for many people over the years but have never really built any good buildings for myself, but having had some long discussions with over the past few weeks l have realised that l will never have a exhibition layout for myself, there is just too much hassle and frustration involved, maybe if l were younger and fitter who knows ? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hello Buddy, Well l have decided to make some new points, but this time l am going to use wooden sleepers using C&L chairs, as l found that the soldered ones didn't look right, so l looked through my wood supply and found 2 12"x12"x3mm plywood and cut them up at 7mm l now have 72' of sleeper now, just waiting for the chairs to arrive... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point Andy, when most of the work is done l will give the shed a coat of primer (dark grey) and that will be the mortar colour, and then dry brush some greys to the brick...

Mortar's NOT grey mate, check out Al's Tunnel mouth, he used a Yellow ochre to start with as most mortar is a yellow / cream colour, and then he's used a Grey for the Stone work.
