Matt's workbench - current project: back to random modelling
- Thread starter matto21
- Start date
Good afternoon and happy easter to you all.
I'm having a short break from NG scratchbuilding at the moment, and have decided to turn my attention back to the Post Office I began building in July last year. This has been languishing in a semi built state since around November. Although I've had to pause my layout projects, this building will be key for one of these and I'd like to get it done. I've pushed on with the roof - all that's left now is flashing around the chimney, ridge tiles and some more paining and weathering.
Ignore the blue tape - its a visual guide to the bit that'll eventually be bedded into the scenery only.

That's very nice Matt, very understated as a humdrum subject should be.

The last time I looked in on here, you were building the Palbrick wagon. Turned out okay, though I am still hoping one of the rtr manufacturers will do this wagon then I can have a few. A brickworks train would make a change from the usual quarry stone, china clay, coke or coal trains.
KMR have done the PALBRICK - after a fashion! Don't take the liveries too seriously!

Thanks. I checked the website and its out of stock. No mention anywhere what it is made of..... plastic? brass? 3D?

Like most KR Models output they are made of dreams, tears, indifference and fantasy...
But mainly plastic.
Hi all,
Thanks for the comments. @LarryG - I was indeed building a Palbrick, sadly I've still not finished it...but I will, one day!
The opportunity arose recently to scratchbuild a pre-fab structure for a friends future layout. The building itself is based on a photo of a similar building in Hereford Wagon Works - however only one side and end is visible in the photo, so I've had to guess at the rest...
As usual, this is entirely scratchbuilt in plastic sheet and various bits and bobs.

Hopes, dreams and sellotape knowing them.
