John’s workbench - a miscellany.

Ta!

Here are two shots to record progress with Coales Mill in 2mm scale. The larger block is now stuck onto the base and may have to stay there, I overlooked some unset glue when I did a fit check and its set while in place. This will make the detailing a little more complex, but I don't want to wreck anything trying to unglue it.

Progress is travelling left to right in theses shots, and the track needs to be glued down and wired correctly before “ballasting” - its almost completely covered over to form a roadway in most photos.





The next building along has some giant ducts at the back, making it look far more modern than the current Victorian styling. Stay tuned….

Hindsight’s a wonderful thing, John……..as I know only too well

You’ve definitely cracked the look with those mill buildings. A deft hand required there no doubt, which precludes me from ever adopting the scale

Thanks Jon, I can only work on this scale at certain times…. All has to be calm and sufficient coffee consumed. Also very bright lights. And magnifier.

The glue thing…. Yes its a nuisance but it'll be ok…
