At Bobs suggestion I'm creating a new post. I have made my first go at scatch building over the last few weeks, using advice from Bob and others. I have sought to make a goods shed, based on a real one that existing on a scottish branch line, and looked like this.
I decided to get some practice first by building some metcalfe models which was quite straightforward for a novice like me. The shed is a work in progress.
I used mounting board from an art shop for the walls and roof, and the platform is an off cut from a metcalfe kit, and brick papers for some surfaced. I have scribed the walls, using Bobs method of an empty pen. I have used enamel paint for it , but in future will try acrylic for larger surfaces, as the paint tends to dry out the pot too much. Overall I would say it has been a challenge, but not too difficult and its best not to rush a job. I'll give more updates as I go
On the last picture you can see an error, with a gap between the tile sheets! I am hoping to disguise this at the weathering stage. You will notice that I have simplified the roof as well, to make it easier to construct.
