Flying Snail Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 This is something else indeed. The scale of the project, the mix of techniques and the quality of what you're producing: wow! This is awe inspiring! 1 1 Quote
DJ Dangerous Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 No words. Incredible. Can you come do some building for me, please? 2 1 Quote
StevieB Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 What can I say but that it’s a most impressive piece of work. Keep posting progress for us, please. Stephen 2 1 Quote
Bob229 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Superb the size of the model and the standard of the work it captures the atmosphere of Kent Station not an easy build with different types of buildings and the long curved roof. You could charge a fee just to see the station alone Well done, looking forward to more updates 2 Quote
JasonB Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 This is without doubt, the most impressive model build I have seen on here. The size, detail, everything about it is top quality. 2 1 Quote

I really do need to be more regular with these updates but you know how it is. The roof trusses got finally finished, they're 3d printed and tied together in 3 main sections using wire lengths. and thankfully it fits! next up a lot of glazing. Some platform accessories added. The signal box was 3d printed as were the lifts benches, bins, fire hoses and railings. The platform was made up from photo's and printed on to vinyl and stuck on to the mdf cut base. I got the track work around the platform area ballasted over the Christmas holidays. Its the N gauge stuff which looks better I think. I've added some Das modelling clay in places to give that dirty well used look and painted with blackish acrylic paint. I'll be adding point rodding to the sides and probably give it a light dusting of break dust. Ticket desk section still very much under construction. Looking forward to modelling No.36 for here. Front Canopy. Tunnel Mouth. Really which I has more room here to model whats above. So photo background will have to do. Station front. Windows and roof added made from plastic card. The Wills brick was painted using various humbrol tones and washed over with cheap blacky brown acrylic for the mortar joints. Interior lighting test. The interiors have been modeled with lights added. The exterior platform signal box at the station loop was modeled using balsa wood and the window ops were 3d printed. Hope you like. I'll try and update more often...New years resolution. I don’t see many layouts that come close to this . It was a pleasure to see it at the cork swap meet. (You’ll have to bring it to the next one, see who puts down the most expensive car to swap for it!!!) Any progress on the no.36 model? 2 1 2 Quote
raymurph Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Incredible modelling scahalane. Awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing, great to see my local station getting such loving treatment. Would you consider making videos as well, maybe post them to YouTube? Ray 2 Quote

Become a very popular indeed. Recently saw a plan for an Albert quay layout around 1958 when it was also cork bus station as Parnell place was being constructed 4 Quote

I hadn't seen that video before and it contains a lot of info I was looking for particularly around the ticket office area. Thanks for sending the link. 2 Quote
Noel Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Stunning precision build that superbly evokes the appearance and atmosphere of Kent station 2 Quote
derek Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 My God! How did I miss this? The craftsmanship here is truly mindblowing. The work on those buildings is nothing short of spectacular. ....... So, do you actually live in the attic or do you leave it from time to time? Makes me want to rip mine up and start over, but then I realise that I would never have the patience ( or skill) to come any where near this layout. Fantastic. Keep it up 1 1 Quote
irishrailways52 Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 one of the best layouts I have ever seen 1 Quote
