Buildings

Checking on what suitable buildings I had stashed away for WW2; 

enough for most scenarios I can think of...


A game setup with my fixed layout town board(s)..

To get some more variable town layouts I tried out using some old table mats as town blocks...
the scheme has possibilities and is more flexible than my fixed layout scheme.

Warehouses ...

 Mulling over a possible game set in the environs of a harbour I realised I was short of suitable dockside buildings. A couple more warehouses were needed.

I bought a Gaugemaster OO/HO warehouse kit,  I made it up into two warehouses, filling in the missing walls/roofs with cardboard pieces. While I was in building mode I decided to extend a low relief building into one the same width as the warehouses.

The initial build ...

I photocopied the front of the low relief building and made up some image files to print, so that I could have a similar brick sheet and the front elevation to cut up as needed.  The 2nd phase of the build with the roofs added, warehouse fronts painted and the printed paper sheets cut up and stuck on as needed.
Finished off front ...
and back ....

Refurbishing railway scenic pieces ...

 I've been refurbishing my railway scenic pieces; I recovered the track from the old scenic pieces and re-used them on strips of cardboard with surface of ballast effect paper.
