hybridangel77 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have now added the extension to the rear of the building and have added the plastikard too. The building is now ready for its first coat of mortar paint. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 The coat of mortar paint is now complete and i need to let it dry over night until the other colours are added. I am using humbrol oil paints and i used a tan colour to represent the mortar and i will end up adding another three or four darker shades of brown grey and black using the dry brush method to get the needed end result. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 As you can see i have now added all doors and windows.All of which are scratch built using micro strips and clear glaze. the roof and chimneys still need to be added as well as the minor details such as drain pipes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
66702GBRf Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi, Look absolutely amazing!!! Really looking forward to seeing the finished product!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have now started to add the roof, the base is glued down and all i need to do is add the slates which will be made from strips of paper and glued in place and painted. The drain pipe has also been added and the final coat of paint has also been added and the final colour was the railmatch sleeper grime which gave the bricks a nice darker shade of brown. This model is by no way perfect as it is my first attempt at building a house but the measurements are spot on but the window lintels are over sized as that was the only micro strips i had to hand.The steps to the doors still need to be added as i did add a 5mm recess to the bottom of the building. I need to make several more of these houses to go on the layout and the next ones will be of a far better quality as i have learnt from all the mistakes from building this house. I think from this point on i will be scratch building all the buildings for the layout. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi all Sorry its been a while since my last post but the weather has just been too nice to be stuck in the loft so i have spent most of the sunny weather with the family. However i have managed to get up in the loft this week and make a start on the new bridge and station building as i decided to demolish the old style. Below are some photos of the work done so far and this is still a work in progress.The whole lot was built using 30thou plastikard for the structures and 50 thou to form the paths that run along the bridge and then went about scribing the paving stones out with an olfa scriber. The station building is almost complete apart from some weathering and some outer detailing that still needs to be added I.E. cctv cameras, signs, posters etc. The interior is complete along with added ticket booths and escalators and people.The bridge has just been painted and also needs to be weathered along with paths.Details still need to be added like the street lamps and graffiti etc.I still need to add some different shades of greys to the road surface before i attempt to add the yellow and white lines. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 On a lighter note here are a couple of pictures of the new additions to glebe road junction. First up is a Bachmann class 37 railfrieght redstripe which has been weathered by me. And the second is a Bachmann class 47 railfrieght distribution.I have only just got this model and have yet to fit it with a decoder and weather it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 That little station looks just the business. Better than its Bachmann predecessor - Which I love because we have one or our own layout. Absolutely right to enjoy the summer with the family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
