Back to some ‘proper’ modelling. A heavily modified Ratio platform canopy is now a covered parcels bay, including around 80 individual corrugated sheets. Assuming the glue sticks, I’ll get some painting started tomorrow.

That’s this stage of the process for the parcels canopy done, just waiting for some hanging lights to arrive.

Very impressive - I hope the corrugated sheets are well secured - wind has been pretty strong over the last few days :)

Having had my order for pendant lights cancelled by the eBay seller due to an ‘administrative error’ (not sure why they didn’t just post the order again or provide a full refund without being asked!) I decided to make my own.
Now installed and working in the parcels bay.

Also started to add some interior detail to the engine shed - the disadvantage of a removable roof. :D

Interior shed detail makes a huge difference.

Lovely modelling Steve. I love to see interior details. It’s great peering through a window to see what’s going on inside.

It was fiddly fitting out my shed in O gauge, you must have magnifying eyes Steve.

I like the interior of the shed - I think with all that oil,steam and general dirt, the walls might be a bit grubbier :lol:
Nice touch the guy working on the lathe(?).

It was never built with the intention of having any interior detail - left it in the base primer coat. But yes it needs a wash of grime and crud.
