Looking excellent Sol.

They really are great little kits although they do take time to build - as I'm finding with my parade of terraced shops ……………:roll::roll::roll:

Actually Marty, the gutters were easy,  paper folded over & then bent.
 It does seem that that kit R002 is no longer available but I have asked John Wiffen about it - he was going to provide an updated kit with a longer ramp.

I asked John Wiffen about the R002 & this is his reply


Hi Ron,I have an updated  version of the kit waiting in the wings, should be back on the site  later in the year. In the meantime, please feel free to mention that I’m  happy email copies of the original kit to modellers if they get in contact with me.
Happy modelling!
Kind regards
John

Hi Guys  
I have the Original .PDF and as it was a freebie I don’t THINK John Wiffen will object if I email it to anyone who asks, but I object to piracy of someone's work so no move without his say so.


Regards card building I can say that it is possibly the fastest and cheapest way to fill large spaces on the layout. Also, I use a “Silhouette Portrait” to cut the main printed faces of the building and block cut out the backing. John uses a belt and braces approach which is excellent and supplies interiors which are superb but mainly not visible in normal use. The “Portrait” can also cut card as it’s a horizontal Flat Bed drag knife cutter so I can use it to cut card when needed. My main problem is finding the correct thickness of card.
Regarding card I used to use genuine Weetabix boxes as they were strong but pliable but dwindling income and rising prices mean we have been eating, (fill in store name here ibix), for years.


Still, must contact Mr Wiffen.

Regards
Jim
