Some of you may have seen the thread posted by Steve Cook regarding GWR Plate Layer's Huts.
I recalled seeing a kit on ebay which appeared from time to time along with ones from other regions.
Having found it and posting on the thread i went back and had another look and found myself clicking the "buy it now" button, dont worry, others are available
.
Well the kit has now arrived, basically a set of lazer cut plywood parts to build up a 10mm model based on one located at Branches Fork sidings South Wales, well thats what it says in the instructions. The kit is produced by Woodbury Models who i must admit i have not heard of but then it's good to find something new as the missus says when entering yet another clothes shop
.
Apparently the kit is suitable for beginners with some modelling experience, i figure if you have experience then you are no longer a beginner but i guess i know what they mean.
Anyway, here is the first piccys,
This first one shows the one side and the back attached to the floor, apparently the hole in the floor is there so you can put weather proofing after assembly however i have my own idea about that which i will describe as i go along, but the hole should be useful for those who want interior detail or lighting etc.
The same but from the outside, what looks rather strange on the side is actually lazer cut brick work as this is where the chimney will be, plus there are slots for locating the said chimney, clever stuff in what is nowadays a pretty cheap kit.
Although i do 1/32nd scale i don't think the fact it's 10mm is gonna jar too much.
Hopefully it will prove to be a quick and easy build, some light relief away from the Class 22,
cheers for now, Rob
