4mm Llanfair

[LarryG]

The box is pretty well ready for the spray shop, and shows the component parts. The decorative bargeboard overlays were sprayed brown along with the steps...


The roof was given a centre strengthened and bargeboard fitted. Only three locating pegs were retained to make removal of roof easy...

Most of the painting is completed and awaiting matt varnishing with Halford lacquer. The staircases are always awkward to assemble and fragile in 4mm scale. A simple 3D set of 'standard' steps that the customer could cut to length would be useful on which to attach 3D sides/handrails. The chimney stack is plastic from the spares box....



Window frames and locking frame door (from another kit) attached with Evostik Impact adhesive. The woodwork colours are Phoenix-Precision P16 GWR Coach Cream and P17 GWR Coach Brown...

As a maker of model buildings I find estate agent details quite useful for gaining info. In this digital age they are becoming increasingly useful for providing interior / exterior photos, plans, 3d renders etc.



This is the first time I've actually seen a full 3d scan though.

In the case of my current 7mm build, I've been added by one of the properties being a shop that's done a Google Streetview style set of 360deg linked images of the interior. Was a great help on working out the interior layout.

Also planning application drawings can also be helpful. The plans are normally dimensioned.

Flazing has been fitted into the box and in the vestibule, which was then glued t the main building with Evostik....


The roof is still removable, but I cannot attach the rest of the vestibule roof at this point until a Ratio 553 interior has been fitted....

 

[LarryG]

Interior fitted. I'm relaxed hence the slow going.....

Fantastic Larry wonderful modelling

 

[LarryG]

Almost ready for Llanfair Road. Awaiting finials. Another job is to find nameplates for signal box and running in board....


Llanfyllin signal box provided the inspiration for the locking room below platform level.... some work remains here...


No weathering has been applied yet....


The real thing....

Hole cut in platform for the locking room staircase. Made to measure gate made from styrene sheet...

An Intentio waiting shelter has been built and painted in BR Western Region colours....

I deviated from the kit by using Slaters corrugated sheet for roof cover instead of the fine emery paper supplied...

A gutter and drainpipe was also fitted, then it was weathered...

Did you commission this, Larry? I don’t see it on their website.

Brushs Laser Cutting and 3d Printing workbench

Just a few metres from my driveway is two large pits from an unfortunate accident with a couple of these after the war. I think that might have been 6th Jan 45, Phil? S/N 42-97082 MISSION MISTRESS lost an engine on take-off and crashed right next to where you are in the woods and caught fire...

I didn't commission the waiting shelter. As I am a regular laser cut builder, Phil very kindly tries the occasional kit out on me. They help keep me occupied during the Winter WB season.

Seeing as the season is coming ot an end, I am working on cattle dock from Ratio and building it to suit a particular location. Regulars of this thread may remember the previous one was moved all over the place and finally fell apart haha. This one knows where its going! The external walls have been replaced by Wills random stone...

I love the look of the Waiting Shelter!
It is somewhat reminiscent of the one on the Upside at Liskeard

 

[LarryG]

I'm looking at my photo and wondering how on earth I mounted the steps that way round....!

 

[John57sharp]

Glad it’s not just me…

It happens but it's quite often someone else who spots it .

I did look at them and wonder that Larry. Didn't get around to asking this morning if it was deliberate.

I quite often find the camera spots it where just looking doesn't... No idea why it works like that.

Quite simply, it is because people tend to see what they expect to see, not what is actually there in front of them.
In real life there is always so much else "going on" that the brain kind of just takes in the big picture and will smooth out the details, but when you are looking at a photograph you are much more likely to be focused on that one thing.
