hmm
It's to cover the floor on your box-file
Oh, ha ha….
No, it's to be the backscene on this, a small factory-based photo diorama, which I will build in the near future.

See how you have drawn that last post? With the buttresses going down to the deck….well if you made up some pieces of bevel topped paper covered strip to put between them that would be just purfek!

I also need to fit an office building (thanks again for the pdf) somewhere as well.
The two factories I've done were quick (about an hour each) and cheap (!)so scrapping them (or relegating them to the back of something else) won't be an issue.

I've also made up the factory office block as well.

That Doofer has a lot to answer for, his fault some of us have the bug to build these dam buildings, :twisted:
Trouble is i am enjoying doing it, i have looked at the layout and thought :hmm a nice flat scene be nice there or i could do this with the offce block etc.

It requires a degree of courage to continue but I am a great believer in warts and all!
Those of you who have looked at my Granby Layout will know that I have an extremely flat back scene……principally Townstreet in front of which is an 8 road storage yard fronted by a Metcalfe Mid? Scene and then the branch
There is a very noticeable join between the backboards and a gap between the factory and the housing
I have been promising to fix these for over a year
Before Doug launched this project I started to make a flat warehouse using Scalescene Paper and some spare Metcalfe Windows
I have now learned a lot from this thread and so I may well replace this…….Apart from all the obvious defects I thought it had quite heavy weathering…….clearly not:twisted:
To cover the back board gap I made a chimney and two factory units using Dougs PDF and some Scalescenes tiling
Why YMR?
I dont like twee names (A Spud Potato Merchant :Red Card)
but I do like naming businesses on the layout after friends and family where it fits into the context……fortunately my son in law is called Roberts which will do for Wales. I am calling the Canal Scene…..Richards Wharf to recognise all the help Wheel Tapper has given me…….I am struggling with a welsh version of MaxSouthOz……it will come eventually
YMR has a nice almost Welsh ring to it and certainly recognises the many friends I have made on this Forum
To get some provenance I googled YMR North Wales……..guess what was the first hit???

Hopefully all this froth has diverted you from examining this effort too closely and to finish I have a long range, slightly out of focus shot and you can see that, after a fashion, I have filled the gaps
I have a lot of space to fill to the right……..probably with another mill but this time with ………….recessed windows, windows cut out correctly, buttresses, chamfered bases……I could go on
The biggest problem ………Dooferdog Mills doesnt quite ring the bell……………maybe a petfood factory?

Wow! This is the first time I've seen your layout from this angle. Amazing; right up there with the best on YMR.

Thanks indeed Max
I knew we would crack the name eventually……..I will get it in there somehow

Regarding "Maxinsouthozton" and "Dooferdogsville", Im absolutely certain having seen your inventiveness with Matilda, that you'll come up with some very interesting names. :thumbs
It's always a real pleasure to spend some time on your layout. :cheers

That backscene looks great John. :thumbs It's got a real 3D effect now and, to my mind, you could easily continure the YMR factory (like it thumbs) along to join up with the gabled factory at the left hand side.
It never ends does it…..I looked at the mill ticked the job as done then looked to the left and realised I had created three more jobs:sad:
Aah but wait until you see the Welsh Whisky Distillery owned and operated by a Scots/Yorkshire Farmer living in FranceRegarding "Maxinsouthozton" and "Dooferdogsville", Im absolutely certain having seen your inventiveness with Matilda, that you'll come up with some very interesting names. :thumbs
Could I have a mead distillery?
