Another brick in the wall…

This is another of those structures that, despite not being for a layout, just called out to be modelled. It's actually always been fairly local to me, and I'd driven past countless times without paying much attention. A recent change of living arrangements meant I started walking past it in the evenings when the summer weather was nice, and I instantly wondered why I'd not noticed it before!

My model is not an exact replica in terms of dimensions or construction. My building is a standalone structure, the real thing has an adjoining building. This meant that I had to guess at one of the ends and the back - as there's no public access to the rear.

Built using good, old-fashioned, card and embossed plastic sheet, As an aside, working with card is so pleasant and nostalgic.

The real thing also has a breeze-blocked up window, a feature I was keen to copy. Everything, including the windows, is scratchbuilt and made using various off-cuts and bits and pieces.

There's still a long way to go - but it's getting there slowly.
