Grange Castle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ok so I've taken the plunge a tried out a kit build. Based on Kevrail's Tesco Ive made a start. I was surprised how easy it was to put together, I have the kit months but was afraid to attempt it, i know this is probably the simplest kit you can get but i kept imagining myself with fingers glued together and pieces stuck in the wrong place but it went smoothly. Still a lot of detailing to be done but its a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Very nice! What's the base kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grange Castle Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Cheers Bos ! Its a hornby roadside cafe from a few years ago but they are still knocking around if you look hard enough. Got this one on ebay a few months ago. Couple of signs maybe a splash of paint and it could look a lot better. The trolley bay came from a layout that was being dismantled and sold off in pieces.

Grange Castle Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 About Bloody time. Looking good, I told you it was easy, have you the transfers ok for it. Well done you. Thanks Kevin, I wouldn't have even attempted it only for you persuading me to try it. Have transfers but sods law, as i went to print them the ink went in the printer so i'll sort that later. I've also done a Burger King drive thru, not a kit, a bachmann building just made a few transfers for it. And next job is a Hornby fine foods supermarket converted to a SPAR. Gone a bit of a building buzz lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevrail Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Right what you need now is the baseboard sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yum, can smell the grease from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grange Castle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Right what you need now is the baseboard sorted. Ah who ya tellin. Always gets put on the long finger Theres just so much to do before I can start. If it was just a straight forward room it'd be done already. But hopefully it'll be wired in the next 3-4 weeks so that will be another step closer. Then the insulation, boarding and installation of a couple of velux will be next on the to do list before the baseboards start. But I'm hoping when its done i'll have built up a lot of stock to really get stuck into the layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grange Castle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yum, can smell the grease from here Nothin better than a nice grease dripping whopper Didn't which of the main 3 to feature, tried mackers but the BK signage turned out better especially the ones in the windows.
