The Tin Mission
p.315
4mm
Gerry hall builds a beautiful 4mm model of a widespread and peculiarly British institution - the 'shack of worship', for want of a better term. Invariably 'low church' and often reflecting lack of funds or some particularly pressing local need for soul-saving, they present modellers with an appealing blend of widely divergent architectural disciplines. This model is based on the example at Banbury, Oxfordshire, and is destined for David Ratcliff's LNWR layout of the same name.

We asked Andrew Lambert to take us through the process step-by-step, and he did so with a Ratio LMS coal wagon.
Twenty-three step photographic tutorial.
