The D&S needs two of these - one each end of Tawnton
so they will be built together at the same time.

I tend to agree with Marty here - I don't think it's one of Mr Wiffen's best models somehow, although I've never seen it "in the flesh" ………:roll:

If they were a light colour it would transform the look of the model.
You could always do the weather boards and the roof tiles in layers Ron…..that would give it some texture.???
Looking forward to how you approach the build.':cheers Gormo

Give a bloke a chance to get his work area set up !!! plus find the card, etcI too thought that the window glazing was the culprit.

Sorry to hear the sciatica is back Sol - hope it's not as bad as last time. I have a few aches and pains but fortunately, nothing as constant (or severe) as sciatica. Do painkillers do much good or do you just have to grit your teeth until is wears off ?

Take it easy,
Bill :cool:
At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

and then on 200gsm card

still not impressed so I have just with a thin pencil, darkened the lines between planks and I think that will do as both cabins will be 24-30" ( 60-75cm) away from the operators/

I reckon the fine pencil line should do it, if you invoke the three foot rule.
Maybe one of each?

Bending cardboard into 90 degrees is no fun as the card can split the wrong way - thank heavens for corner elements

this photo shows where the cabin will be based on Operators viewpoint

so any minor blemish may not get noticed ( hopefully)
