Finally gettiing out of my system.

The awning is super and I am impressed that you have stuck to card throughout the build.
The bridge scene is great too, all very realistic.

Michael

Thank you very much Michael.

Back to the goods shed. The wooden platform on the rail side was fabricated from a strip of 1mm greyboard covered in Scalescenes' clapboard to match the floor of the shed.  The supporting wooden posts were cut from mountboard and coated with superglue to harden them before painting.  They were glued in place and aligned by eye.

Terry - thats a fine bit of modelling

Excellent result Terry.   :thumbs

The steps are a masterpiece - other then the superglue "tempering", what did you use to stick the card ?

Thank you Barry and Peter. Very kind of you.

Peter, for card modelling I use a white acrylic adhesive called 'Cosmic Shimmer '. My wife put me onto it. It is much used by the lady crafters when making greetings cards. I like it because it is quite thick and does not run out of control. Also, any excess can easily be removed with a toothpick leaving no residue on the surface of the model.

Regards,

Terry

I quite agree, and your simple description of the process belies the skill and patience required.  What could have been a simple little building has turned into a masterclass.  Thank you!

Michael

Thank you Michael, very kind of you.



Best wishes,

Hi Terry
It's amazing how little things can really bug, but a sense of achievement when we do something about them.  More nice grass work too…

Michael

Very true Michael.  Seeing the ply grain would have made me wince whenever I looked at it.  I should have sorted it sooner.  Thank you for your kind comment.


Terry

Lovliness Terry!

I'm in total agreement with Barry and the figures, in due course, will bring the shed to life.

The shed looks good but to my eye, the awning is too big - almost looks like the shed could topple over.

Looking forward to seeing it in place

Thanks all.  Very kind.

Ron, don't forget that you are looking at a close-up picture with the awning nearest and just a few inches from the lens.

In real life the actual shed appears to be more substantial than the awning.  You will have to pop over to see it!



Best wishes to all,



Terry

It looks excellent Terry - a very nice bit of modelling you've done.   :thumbs

I do understand what Sol means about it looking too big and yes, to a certain extent, it was down to camera lens distortion.  However, looking at your latest shot illustrating your point, I do wonder if, in real life, there would have been some kind of stay running from near the front edge of the canopy back to somewhere up near the ridge on the roof.  I can't tell what the measurements are but there's an awful lot of weight pulling down on where the canopy is attached to the shed and any supporting beams don't appear to run further than the shed wall so the twisting moments at that point must be enormous……………….particularly when covered in a decent layer of snow.  :hmm

To me, a metal (plastic) rod at each side taking some of the weight would look great.   :cool wink

That goods shed is just a superb example of great modelling. Wonderful character, and unique. Amzed at the skill and attention to detail. 
Very nice indeed!
