Flat styrene base shaped around the depot with the passengers shed extension. I’ve glued a second layer of paved styrene ( cut at 45° ) for the floor of the shelter. First spray a base light grey and then dry brush with brick dark red |
|
Framed the shelter floor with walnut strips and darken with a wash of alcohol & india ink |
|
brushing some single plates give different shades of wear. Then put in place the depot. |
|
preparing pieces for the shelter : board with styrene framed by nut sticks, columns made by 3 wood pieces ( squared base – column – 45% filed head… glued together … well, next time I will made a resin moulder! Manage these microbes is not so funny! |
|
the top of the shelter done! |
|
and a bird view of all parts before mounting |
|
… and after |
|
Now (another tedious job!) shingles on the roof. I’ve select two types of shapes (cedar squared and diamonds ) to replicate the prototype variation ( see the picture here: http://www.pbase.com/espeef5/image/77115096 ). |
|
To give the impression of the super-elevated roof on the shelter ( see the original here ) I glued some wood sticks on top of the cardstock roof cover, then covered everything with thin paper |
|
An U squared styrene strip all around and brass wires shaped to simulate water pipes |
|
Water pipes installed on rail side and shingles on the windows sun covers. Painted the shingles in dark olive green. |
|
A step back to admire your job ( and also note some wrong details too ) |
|
And a step forward (My poor...how so crude is the digital picture machine: it enlighten all little miss-alignments and ….. well I know “where”) |
|
OK, now playing with fleas again! The roof corners ornaments are made by …. styrene and brass. |
|
a short cut of U strip contain a piece of brass pipe ( flatten and then filed to have the hearth shape of the point). Then I’ve added 4 little strips of styrene also shaped with a jeweller file. |
|
Station name plates ( 3 different dimensions ) also filed from styrene. One on the shingled roof of the pagoda |
|
One on top of the Bay window and the last one on the shelter. |
|
I’ve noted on the pre-1964 pictures a little brick chimney positioned on back side of the roof ( not exactly as mine, but … that's what I've found in my scrap box for now!) |
