A Grotty Washroom - Stu's words !!

As this is supposed to be a project for others to join in with, are there any takers for creating an odd little scene as a modelling exercise ?

Reminds me of some of the toilets at football grounds i visited up and down the country back in the eighties…

A fine piece of modelling Stu….:thumbs

Thanks Ste.

A bit more detail in the header tank,




 

and a poster which hopefully plants the idea that this is, in fact, a railway related convenience…

Looking really good Stu.  Well you know what i mean .   Reminds me of some filthy lodgings i was in once ,went to pee in the sink and it was full of tea leaves ,disgusting.yuk.

A light switch and makeshift door handle have been added…




 

as have a loo roll holder and some 'reading' material…

Come on chaps. Stu has shown the way with great results and hardly any cost at all, either in time or cash. Nice work Stu by the way, nice but disgusting.

It's excellent Stu and, having just looked at mine, I'm still not sure it's dirty enough ……………..:roll::roll:

Is the project just for fun or is there an exhibition in mind and is it based on those found in Wales or Cornwall ?  (Actually, it could be Leicester Forrest Services ……….)

I'm sure your smallest room is a lot nicer Peter.

The model is partly for fun, partly to do something different to practice weathering (!), and mainly for the Model Rail / other forum 2011 Challenge ( which is any railway related diorama in a 20 x 11 inch footprint).

There was also a thread asking 'what was the grottiest toilet anyone had modelled', so I just joined the ideas together.

What colour paint did you ask for in the model shop?

Not exactly sure what you mean, DD…

The paints are a mixture of Wickes tester pots for the walls, and a cheap set of watered down acrylics (£3) from Tescos for the floors and general grime.

The tiles were an off white gloss enamel.

B-dum-tish !:cheers

"Not exactly sure what you mean, DD…"

Yes you did.
I had visions of you standing in the shop asking for **** coloured paint.

Well, yes, there might have been some of that… but I chose my words carefully as I'd like to back there sometime and collect my BWT.

I really needed more greens and browns - GWR Chocolate doesn't have the right sound, somehow, for what I wanted to use it for… 

At least you had a bowl in which to mix it.

It's a fine job of work, Stu.

I decided to send in the Norty Boys to clean up the place:

I think its like graffiti, it should be cleaned up at once. And I'm glad somebody finally did.

Despite the attempts from those from over the border to affect some sort of cleaning regime, this small outpost of British Railways still retains it's air of independence and atmosphere.




I can also advise those few who may have looked that this Challenge entry is now complete.

Just the other 2 to finish by midnight tonight !

300 have looked at it, Stu.
That's not bad out of a 200 membership. :???:

Lovely job of work.

Yeah that was me :oops:  I had to look twice - couldn't believe it first time around ………………

Sorry Stu but it looks really crap …..:thumbs
