The brickwork was initially treated with Humbrol 'brick', then when dry a paler redder and a greyer colour mix were splashed on here and there ('brick' mixed with dark grey or orange). Rendering is good old DIY matt emulsion (Focus DIY 'Pebbles'), diluted with a bit of water and Fairy Liquid then washed over. Additional work with be to have one of the windows 'open' (they're not fixed yet). The frames were 'Pendon style' using self adhesive lable cut into thin strips. Further work will be a portch over the door on the end and some additional wooden 'lean to' buildings and shelters. I also need to make en enamel SR green 'Catcott' sign to go on the side of the building.

Model Railway Layouts by Chris Nevard @ fotopic.net

Update 11 July 2007: A bit of rather badly rushed Photoshop trickery, the crossover being a virtual one using layers and the 'warp' function. In real life this will be a B8 crossover from C&L Components.Previous | NextIt's amazing what a bit of paint can do. The paintwork is still in Southern Region colours. I remember the Southern Region green paintwork quite well and it never looked like what we see on preserved railways for very long, but took on a dusty copper oxide colour (Humbrol 120). The cream or more correctly 'stone', again I always remember this as a pale shade which is nothing like the custard colour often seen, for this I used Humbrol 148.
