    Is this weird? Did it just get weird here?

    I don’t clamp it down and occasionally it does move - especially on smooth and shiny surfaces like acetate sheet. Cheers Darius

    To be fair, my use of a steel rule makes it a lot easier… Cheers Darius

    Windows made from acetate sheet (old report covers) with masking tape applied. The window bars are cut away with a new blade. The masked window is sprayed with grey etching primer and then white primer. Once dry, the masks are removed. Cheers Darius

    Hi Leslie. I’m using neat pva. As the model station buildings are following the curve of the platform, there are very few right angles… Cheers Darius

    I drew the pattern big scaleee in MS Paint and then shrunk it and printed strips of them on clear decal paper. These strips were applied to the painted valences. Cheers Darius

    Canopy building painted. Columns made using 2mm sq. Plastruct, plasticard and tape strips. Supporting header beam made from 2mm thick card. The columns slot into the beam and can be adjusted up/down so that they all touch the platform surface before final fixing. Cheers Darius

    Worked on the access steps and porch today. Took it slow to ensure everything was level and true - ish. Also tiled the roof. The early photos show a chimney but this appears to be missing in photos of the early NIR era onwards. Cheers Darius
