Box bodgery


The box just about done. This has been a bit of a battle in more ways than one, but I have roughly what I was after. To recap: The top half is a Ratio GWR M&H style small box, picked up part built for a fiver, The lower section is Wills sheet and a mix of strip. The steps have been moved forward to suit the site with some jiggery pokery undertaken with the railings to compensate for this. The internals (top) are the usual bodge of scrap and some off cuts of Ratio spear-point fencing with a touch of colour to fool the eye. Behind the glass it disappears into the gloom, but fools the viewer into thinking that there is a lot more detail than there really is.

Now to deal with Mr. Hill's fencing...
