Working to a brief can sometimes be constricting so I try to find ways of pushing it beyond the obvious and squeeze something unusual in. The Scottish needed a 'something' in the lower left corner so a lengthy peruse of google images of the general area suggested that a non-conformist chapel. The Wills kit being the logical start point. Photos of tin chapels are plentiful, in either converted or derelict states. The later was chosen and an example at Skerray was found. This led to an idea to cut and shut two kits and go for the full last -legs look. Here just before the windows were boarded up with plasticard plywood sheets.
When going for the derelict CI look in 4mm I actually find the clear Wills sheet, painted , works best. Obviously it fits with the solid version as well
ReplyDeleteI'm really struggling with CI in N gauge. I've tried printed sheets, whitemetal, plastic, Redutex and etched brass. Nothing quite works for me. which isn't helpful modeling the Tanat Valley.
