The inside of the shed is simply stunning.

I’m watching your development of the roof trusses with interest as I’m wanting to do the same (open roof) with a goods shed I’ve just started. Keep the images coming please.

The interiors of the engine shed is looking so life like with spill patches and cracks on the floor and the damp
Rising up the wall, amazing details Steve.

It does not take me long to do five minutes work.

Thanks Carl, if it turns out ok once the additional plasticard arrives, I may do a ‘how to’ series of pics. Bear in mind it will be my way and not necessarily the only (or best) way. Have you looked at some of the laser cut trusses from the likes of Scale Model Scenery ? (Other suppliers are available) They were either too short or too long for me but may suit your purposes.

On a different note, I am planning to build my own ‘proper’ spray booth for air brushing shortly and I may do something similar to that on my painting and weathering thread.

Damp and spills were happy accidents. :D

Steve, I’ve done three walls (the fourth is open) with laser cut products so the width is determined. The company do laser cut roof trusses to fit but I don’t like the flat profile, particularly as the roof will be open. The profile of yours using girders looks much better. So I think I’ll be following suit.

Really, they look like you've stamped them out, not come across those before.

Railtec Transfers are worth a look. They primarily specialise in diesel era transfers with a few specially commissioned steam era sets (but not enough imho). All their transfers have minimal carrier film making them almost indistinguishable from printed liveries.
They have developed a process to 3D print name and number plates (and rivets) as water slide transfers. They are excellent quality products. You can even make out the slot in thread of the machine bolt that holds the plates on.
Knowing how you like to make wagon kits Brian, check out their wagon transfers as well.
