1880's Colorado Narrow gauge on 45mm track
Hi,
The hotel that I built earlier has a quite large space behind it that was perfect for a small shed to fit there; so it was time to use up some scrap from the larger sheets that I normally use. The building is a composite from some plans in one of my 'RGS Story' (American Narrow gauge) books, adjusted for size, it is 9" long and 6" wide over the roof.
Quite a simple design though adding all the battens was a long job, and the painting more so - there always seem to be some places where the paint missed. The roof was done to match the hotel as was the colour scheme.
Here are 3 photos --
The base - using up more 'bits' There is another one of the same size that I may use fora variant of the building - having a single slope roof, and different wall designs.
the front that faces the rear of the hotel.
the rear - with a double straw (one glued inside the other for strength) stovepipe and (paper clip )wire brace to assist in keeping the pipe in place in winter. There is also a small piece of .060 under the edge of the roof that the pipe is glued to, to secure it.
Paint is mainly masonry paint with acrylic paint for the trim; and then varnished.
