A couple of shots showing the unseen bits. Firstly you can see how the recess is made for the glazing by sandwiching the core between two cosmetic pieces, Internal partitions are all slot and tab for strength. the chimney and fire place will be added as will some relief to the doors...
The entire structure is a sandwich 2mm - 3.2mm -2mm which is close enough to scale 13 1/2 inches.
Interior walls are 4mm which is a tad over 6 inches. at the moment they are place holders i may well use 4 pieces of 1mm mdf, but to be honest the relief doesnt show through the windows.
Thanks for the book link Adrian, ill see if the Bath bodger has a copy Id love to do something art deco

I have tracked down a copy of both Ian Allen books, so that might give me something Southern to go on. You never know Simon it might mean an LSWR box.....
Thanks Phill, I have both OPC books.
This is the stables Lancer is fantasising about

Possibly. the machine i have is fine for doing small commission projects or one off jobs, but it is not quick enough to make proper money on kits. Having said that if something is on file then I am happy to make a kit of parts and everything i design is done as if it is a kit, and if i get a bigger machine then there is the possibility.Are you thinking of making any of these available as kits ? ......or is it just for your own amusement ?
There is an art to painting mdf brickwork, I go with grey primer (halfords) then vallejo acrylics for the bricks, followed by matt varnish, pollyfilla mortar, and dry brushing. I would imagine that you could also use enamel for the mortar if you wished.I like the finish on the walls very good I have to do something similar on the signal box I have found a picture of a LNWR box that I think I could get a similar finish to
