It does look good, if extremely fiddly. I've since made downspouts for the 'box, but used a finer wire than it should be, but I think even if a little small, it still looks good. I'm waiting until I've finished scenic-ing the base before I take another photolnrmodelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849826220916229004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525098245529106918.post-54894566882136154802013-05-10T08:44:46.055+01:002013-05-10T08:44:46.055+01:00The gutters look great, by the way.

The flooring doesn't look too bad does it? Bit of a happy accident that as I ran out of the paint I mixed, so it streaked and went patchy as I tried to eke it out, the result being an uneven wood colour. I'd pre-scribed the flooring before gluing it inlnrmodelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849826220916229004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525098245529106918.post-51937226906409577042013-04-29T07:32:48.737+01:002013-04-29T07:32:48.737+01:00Good to see another post!

I'm still not 100% happy with the windows, having got crimson into the white frames in places, but that only shows in ultra close photography, so I've decided I can live with that and I,LL crack on and finish it.<br /><br />Geoff, those Ratio steps look incredible value, and is certainly an avenue worth exploring. I intend to have a crack at building them with microstrip first,but if all else fails, there's that to fall back on. I've got the gabled roof technique nailed and next time I may build the window frames differently, also fitting the windows after painting the outer frames.<br /><br />next up for this is painting the roof, adding the steps, then working on detailing the interior.<br /><br />Of course, I've got loads still to do on the station too...lnrmodelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849826220916229004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525098245529106918.post-63056543868242095102013-04-28T12:46:16.957+01:002013-04-28T12:46:16.957+01:00That is simply excellent.
