RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 30, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've just put the heater on in the shed so I'm going for a coat of primer now. Most people just get a tan, but no, you have to go for primer... Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Great modelling Marcus wish mine was as good as yours Thanks Craig Don't worry mate. Mine wasnt always this good. Not really sure if it is now from a personal point of view. I've picked up a hell of a lot since coming on RMweb. There's a lot of good modellers on here who are really helpful such as Al, Andy P and Cav (RBE) . These guys have really helped me hone my modelling skills. Never be afraid to ask if you want help with something as many of us are more than happy to help. All the best Marcus 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Cheers Sam. Here's a quick progress shot whilst I've hit the inevitable stumbling block whilst waiting for paint to dry etc. Primed it last night and first of the top coats applied. More later hopefully. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris64B Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The shed's looking great Marcus, nice work! Are you planning any roof detail? Railings, ladders, vents etc? I'd quite like to use my old Hornby diesel depot as a base for an 'enhanced' and extended version to sit in my yard and wondering where to get some of those sort of details. Cheers, Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Talking roofs I'd probably have gone for a standing seam on that. As for ladders etc on a new build like that I would think maybe a mesh one near the apex each side but more likely just two mansafe lines these days.

I'd quite like to use my old Hornby diesel depot as a base for an 'enhanced' and extended version to sit in my yard and wondering where to get some of those sort of details. Cheers, Chris Hi ChrisIt's based on the wagon maintenance shed in Dove Holes quarry which as can be seen from above doesn't have any vents or railings etc. As it's purely for wagon repairs it probably doesn't need them due to no diesel fumes etc. Here's a shot of the shed from the air taken from Google Earth. The Hornby shed is great for kit bashing. Good suppliers for detailing are the likes of Knightwing, Plastruct and Slaters. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Marcus 37 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 That looks great Marcus.......it's your dusty weathering that I'm looking forward to Thanks Adrian. Going to have a practice at that before attacking the sheds. Think it probably needs a different approach to the method I use on the stone. Also I think this needs to be more dust than rust.

jcredfer Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi Al I know what you mean. I could never get them right either, so I invested in a nice little modellers mitre box. One of the best £5 I,ve ever spent. I've just put the heater on in the shed so I'm going for a coat of primer now. Cheers Marcus Oooohhh ... you will look smart. :jester: J It's cold out, but need hat, coat, scarf ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Had a couple of days off from work so I've managed to do a bit more on the wagon maintenance shed. This has included fitting the glazing, roller shutter doors in various stages of openness and adding spot lamps above the doors. The glazing was made up of clear Plasticard with Microstrip added as glazing strips. They were then fixed in place with Clearglaze. I'm off om Saturday so I'm hoping to get up into the loft and put it in situ. Eventually when I get the required detailing bits I plan on doing a fully detailed interior which will include over head crane and the Bachmann lifting jacks I aquired sometime back. Anyway here's some pictures so far...... I'll try and get some pictures on Saturday of it in situ on the layout Cheers Marcus 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Marcus, seeing your photos of the wagon maintenance shed prompted me to recall that I took some photos of it some years ago one Sunday morning. So just to show you what it looks like from the other side.... HTH Paul 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Blimey. How did you get there then? Considering it was all a bit of guess work from google earth and some distant shots of the front. I didn't do too badly. I might add the flue to add a bit of interest as I didn't know that was on the real one. You've come up trumps again Paul. Really useful pictures indeed. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharrc20 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That would be telling! Nah I just followed the footpath that starts at the road and crosses the top of the Dove Holes tunnel mouth and just kept going until I came to the fenceline and followed it down from there. Not sure if you can still get up there but the stile and footpath sign are still there when I passed on foot a few weeks ago walking to Peak Dale along the road. You have done well Marcus with your model keep going. My own Speedlow layout is very much on the back-burner atm due to several things so good to see yours coming along nicely.
