Claus, Chloe is a babe! And she's not even wearing a vest...she'll catch her death!!! You have to try and maybe feature her on a poster or something! I was looking at your Birmingham tram kit awhile back and decided it was near enough to do a conversion to an SHMD tram,so I purchased one myself.I also have several West Ham trams that will magically become SHMD also.I got myself a Cardiff tram(motorised Corgi) off Ebay as well, and. when I tested it, to my delight it had internal lights fitted, so it's looking like a 00 scale tram layout will be appearing sooner rather than later... ...I blame you!  Cheers,John.B.  |

Covered walkway along Myer Work on the covered walkway (canopy) along the Myer department store has commenced. The columns are meat skewers with footings made of M4 'lock nuts'. The crossbeams are made of cardboard.  At the moment I am constructing the 'rafters', which will support the roof. ____________________ Cheers, Claus http://www.wct.payne-ellef.dk |

I think I will get her down to the first floor near an entrance and she will be seen through an open door. It will also require a new visit to the hotel to get a proper photo of the distinctive carpet! By the way, if you take your photo before the beer, Chloe looks like this:  ____________________ Cheers, Claus http://www.wct.payne-ellef.dk |

A new home for Chloe As I mentioned in my comment to John (Granby Junction, post 3030) I went to the 'tram room' and commenced the construction of a new home for Chloe. I have abandoned the name 'Young and Jackson' for the hotel, so for the time being the hotel is unnamed. As of the 12th of April the building has come so far:  The building material is cardboard with a few sticks on balsa wood. All 70 windows and doors are cut by hand. The green parts are green because I used green cardboard. Nothing to do with the final colour. The original building and the inspiration for the build looks like this on a rainy Saturday morning in April 2021:  Since Wombat Creek is set in 1963 I have to go back in time to find the right colour for the walls, A search on the internet gave me some photos but unfortunately in black and white. Instead I turned to Warren Doubleday from Melbourne Tram Museum. He dug into the archives and in no time came up with the following photo (photo: Peter Moses, 1963. Archive: Melbourne Tram Museum):  The walls are brown! Perhaps not the most inspiring colour. The window frames appear to be white. I intend to print the windows on transparent foil and in a printer 'white' equals 'no colour'. Therefore I will need to change the colour. A few years later the window frames were brown as the walls, which is just too boring. I think I will go with a light grey. ____________________ Cheers, Claus http://www.wct.payne-ellef.dk |

At the end of the day Claus,it's your model, your rules! I'm operating a 1930's layout with one or two 1940's locos, but who's to tell me I can't??It's going to look great, that's all that matters! Cheers,John.B. |
