Yes. a slight down size this time,as the plans are sketched out onto paper card,and then scribed out. The building plans have been in my head for years,and having plenty of scrap iron on site, i thought it apt to make a start. The scratch built building is one made up of various asbestos sheeting,with an end wall of rendered up brick blocks. It will also have a rendered up brick office bloke,that has windows and a small chimney. There will be two blast furnace chimney stacks that will tower way above the roof of this rather grim place.The length of the building is ten inches,by two and a half inches in width and height. Factory type windows are to be set into the slopping part of the roof. However tiny lights will be fitted inside for night time viewing. Two of the metal shutters in the doorways have been raised so a glimmer of the working side of this place can be on view. Also the small office door will be cut so as to enable it to open inwards. So a tiny figure can be placed either entering or indeed leaving that section of the building. Other small figures will be dotted in and about the place. A backdrop of scratch built tree`s will be spaced out at the back of Glad Grind`s Foundry giving both height and adding to the illusion of greater width to this place,which is a facade of this smokey noisy place.
The time period is the 1940`s to early 1960`s.
Sections of damaged asbestos .
Supporting walls have been glued in place.
The roof goes on later today.
When finished and painted in black gloss the paper card will soak it up ,and eventually when dry it will be tougher than any plastic card.
This model will be placed right at the back of my railway layout. See Ya.BB
