The big shed

Eleven years ago on this page, I described the research and building of a cheap industrial unit for Rhiw Mk1 which can be found here . Onward to now and the rebuild and a new unit was required. As Mk2 is slightly shorter this too had to be reduced slightly and Mr. Hill took on the basic build in card and Slater's sheet. What I failed to mention was the cut outs required for the reinforcing block on the end board. The basic carcass as supplied is above.

Over the last two days it's been painted and detailed. All that it's required to do is to stop the eye at the end of the layout and to look as boring as possible, so some modern brickwork colour and the extruded sheeting in a dull cream. It would have been brand new so is very clean. The graffiti on the original ('Maggie out' was neatly cropped out by RM for fear of upsetting the readers as were the Jimmy Saville posters) tied in with the 1984/5 period of just post-strike. Now the timeline has been dragged back to 79/80 and the graffiti changed to what I remember going on at the end of my school days when half of my classmates were tripping up to Greenham Common to protest. It was pointed out that some Welsh nationalist script would be good, but the CND won out because I could spell it.
