Some really rough and nasty flash shots to summarize the weekend’s activities.
This is going to be the large diesel shop at Ardley Road MPD. It’s made from two Walthers Car Shops- I combined both kits and slightly modified them. One kit was cut down to a single story structure. The second kit was left as two stories, but I removed the upper portions of the structure’s façade to make it a bit more utilitarian. British Rail buildings tended away from the ornate…
The structure, as supplied by Walthers, has small glass panes and looks like something out of the 1920’s. I wanted to update the structure and get out of painting the mullions molded onto the glass supplied by Walthers. I decided that larger panels on both the windows and the skylights would be appropriate. Instead of glass I intend on using something frosted, similar to the opaque fiberglass panels used on structures. Of course now I have to cut all the horizontal members of the skylights…
This is going to be a large structure- it dwarfs the steam shed. |
