For the older, resin cast kits, that have been joined together to form one building, everything has also come together and been primed. No guttering was supplied with either kit. In anticipation of this build, at the same time that I ordered 3D plastic guttering and drainpipes from Kippo Models, for the scratch built carriage shed, I also ordered for this build. The guttering had to be cut to length and parts glued together in order to fit either side of the chimney stack. Also the drainpipes did not have a bend in them to line up with the guttering. I overcame that issue by immersing the ends in boiling water, to soften them, then bend them to shape. The result was not perfect, but good enough. I also created a pair of soffit boards, from wooden coffee stirrers, for the ends of the structure. The only detail I have to add, will be some door knobs.
I received an email, this morning, to say that one of the paint colours that I ordered, not specifying which, is out of stock and it will be 2/3 weeks before the order can be filled. One of the colours has a relatively minor, but nonetheless important role on these buildings. I can make a start on painting them both, but cannot finish either model until it arrives. Best laid plans and all that.....
