I have started to work with the printed papers from Kirtley Models. Starting with the rear parapet means that a few errors will be less noticeable and in fact the wall will be further dulled and weathered and have various low relief attachments to hide the most significant errors!
The recommended glue I first used is a gel glue but I was not happy with it so switched to a UHU glue stick and this seems to work better. The photo shows the first efforts with the part in front of the Jubilee being the glue stick variant:
There is space between the parapet and the sky for various low relief roof tops to be placed, as seen in this photo:

Yes, the train is running down the up line but that was to check clearances! The label A represents the down advanced warning signal before Snow Hill tunnel. The down line splits into three at Snow Hill (platform 1, platform 5 and the down through line) but I understand these were controlled by coloured lights in the tunnel during the 1950s.
