just finished this corner shop.

Very smart Owen. I like the look of that. Done a neat job. What glue do you us?.

I supose you could change it from a shop to say some office?. May be worth a look for my layout as a office in the corner somewhere, like a scrap yard, with shop at front for the bits and bobs for a car and the bilky bits in the yard at the back.

Phill

That's a nice design. Very smart job!

Mike

Very well built there Owen!  

Metcalfe kits look good almost without exception and go together well in my experience.  

I do like the prospect of fish and chips for 1/9 as well ….. it's been a few years since I was able to get them at that price!   That's a shade under 9p for those of you reading in metric :shock:  

But that's what you used to pay and your meal was wrapped in newspaper as well.

Phill yes you can change the use, it comes with set of signs and window displays.

Rick i agree fully,they really are the biz.

Very nice Owen

Where about on the layout are you going to put it ?

Alan it is in situ now on mn&s.

:doublethumb Now that is a super piece of modelling, Owen! Impressive stuff. Have you ever tried weathering the Metcalfe models and if so, what do you use?

Cheers :cheers

Just checked your layout thread :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

Sorry Owen

Terrific stuff Owen. Metcalf stuff really is good and you've built a great little number. We have ventured into sound but wouldn't it be fabulous if we could do "smell" decoders as well.:thumbs

Les

Very nice Owen - could quite imagine nipping in there for a fish supper out the newspaper.

Les - not sure about the smell decoders - it would probably mean that no-one would ever model a sewage works , farmyard, glue factory or gas works again !

A good sturdy model there Owen and it sits very well on your layout. :thumbs

I think the Metalfe kits are great if you need to build either quickly or lots of the same thing.  Unfortunately, I don't think they do that corner unit in stone yet and all mine need to be West Riding / Pennine stone.

Myansome, i do weather them i use coloured chalks and for dirt just a soft pencil
and a damp finger..

Peter the shop does come in stone,check out metcalfe web site.

So it does Owen - it's on my shopping list for my trip over in early November. :thumbs

:thumbs Thanks, Owen ……… much obliged. I try the soft pencil smudging technique!
