Scratch built after looking at various pictures and I came up with my own idea…Using the windows and doors I had in my boxes..

I like to think it capures the look.






The white stuff in the windows is 'Glue and Glase' I find it brilliant, as specially when you want some missing panes of glass..



A little touching up to be done,  But I am quite pleased so far..

Hi Alan,

The building looks great and the blackened chimney top looks good. The 'glue n' glaze does the job nicely. Top job. :thumbs

Cheers, Gary.

Hi Alan, your building reminds me of the boiler rooms/workshops they had on some of the RAF units I served on. Well done.

Always try to look on the bright side of life!

Well done looks just like the ones at the bottom of our road on the ex Markham colliery site now used as industrial units, still at least they haven,t been demolished, a great job you should be proud.:pathead  Pete.

Looks good to me Alan, a light wash of dirty grey or a dusting of weathering powders will finish it off nicely unless you want the freshly painted look.
cheers

Hi Petermac.
                    The windows are mainly brass glazing bars I bought from Mainly Trains some years ago and the rest are left over from a peco/wills pack and the doors came from a rumage box at Doncaster Toy and Train Fair.
                    At the moment I am converting Diecast to get the coal away…Here is a little Treat…




I hope you like. And Thank You for your comments
