I have been building a shortened version of Buxton depot in 7mm scale, with the office building on the opposite side. Now nearing completion.
The main structure is 40thou plasticard, i.e. inner and outer walls with 80thou spacers with apertures cut for the two main side windows. The internal and external walls being clad with South Eastern Finecast plain brick (I prefer this to the Slaters brick and comes in larger sheets. The office is a series of 40thou boxes. The roof is also 40thou, with corrugated profile sheets.
Painting of the brick work is is using acrylic paints (Warhammer / Games Workshop), with a couple of shades lightly brushed over the brick surface and allowed to dry before adding the mortar colour. The roof was sprayed grey, before painting the brick work and then grey paint lightly brushed over. Then using Warhammer shading paint (Agrax Earthshade).
More to follow.
