The eagle eyed lurkers on this thread have let me know the door within the main doors is on the wrong side. Easy fix for the kit but I’m going to leave as is here.

Bit more on the Engine Shed build.

The pit is our standard pit road resized for the Engine Shed. So same construction sequence.

Glue the sides to the bottom piece. Use the shed base as a jig to keep all square.

Carefully slide in each step through the sides and line them up in the slots.

Add the top step.

When glue had dried, fix the interior sides and clamp in until dry.

When complete, the complete unit is ready to be fixed to the shed.

In readiness for fixing the slates, the chimneys are built up.

I used UHU glue for these as I wanted a quick grab and set.

The roof parts, need a mitred edge filed. Easy job.

Additional thin paper or plastic strips could be added to detail these up.

I’ll leave like this. The painting and finishing by the kit builder will take care of that.

In preparation for adding the slates, the soffit and barge boards need to be added first.

Also the base, being a key part of the construction, hasn’t had the assembly covered as yet.

The laser cut chairs pushed into place and really don’t need any glue. The rail profile was kindly supplied by David Rayner from Off the Rails. Check out his shop on Shapeways. Off The Rails by drrayner - Shapeways Shops

Glue the halves of the base together. Then slide the rails through the chairs. This holds the rail perfectly in place. Cosmetic chairs can be added if required.

Next time, the doors will be fitted and hung. Hopefully slates too.

I am impressed with your sloping bricks 10 courses from the base. Didn't know they could be laser cut like this. Terrific looking buildings. I am well chuffed with this medium.

Yes, thank you. That’s what makes my kits unique. No one else does this in kit form. Though Tim Horn does on his built up models.

I like the rail fixing method, looks to be very secure.

Yes, brilliant way of doing the chairs, secure, and self-jigging. I’m having a “D’OH” moment, that’s so much better than having to glue down C&L chairs on the pit edge. Too late now.

Presumably there’s a downside, you have to do 0MF, 0F and S7 versions.... :)

Another project that is making headway is this one. This is the first 3D render for a series collaborative projects between myself and Nikki Wilkes. It is the shed at Kings Lynn in 7mm ready for final cad to 2D for laser cutting. It will encompass both Intentio's and Nikki's own systems and methods as a kit. The best of both thoughts in design for what we hope will produce leading edge kits for the discerning modeller.

Next in our project line up will be Peterborough Maintenance point and then we have some exciting plans for two and triple road sheds and much more.

Having a play around to perfect engraving real stone work on our building kits and for a customer that demands realism. This small section took about 50 seconds to engrave.

For a project I'm after some good quality straight on images for stone work as used on Victoria and the Albert Ernest Bridges on the Severn. Any one in the area able to help please?
