Church part 2

Hi Gary

This is the best Scalescenes building I've used, and by far the most complex. Curves to cut, a bit of fiddling at times to make it fit and so on.I can't believe what great value for money it is. This one is highly recommended, if you have the room.
Elsewhere you mentioned Scalescenes kit bashing. I plan to do something like that, to make a copy of a house we once lived in when we were in England.
I've bought quite a few Scalescenes kits and now realise that I have a good stock of windows as well as a lot else.
See you on Saturday.

That's helpful, thanks Paul.

 

I've now finished it according to the instructions, apart from sticking it down to the baseboard. I still have quite a bit to do though. I need to tidy up the ratty edges and, most importantly, stop up the gaps around the roof line. I want to use lights, which means that I can't make the roof removable. Lights inside show leakage around the roof line.
I plan to use blu tack to fill in the gaps from the inside.
So here is the roof from the inside, which won't be seen again once the church is stuck on the baseboard.

 

It's a lovely afternoon, so I took it outside into the sun.







The last photo shows that it's a tad too large even for a baby bird's nest fern.

 

Thanks Paul, I'll look for that tomorrow. I used blu tack in the chancel, where it is hidden from all angles anyway. But I paused before putting it in a more visible place. Black would suit very well.
I now wonder whether I might not stick it down after all, so allowing access to the interior. If I can disguise the bottom of the building with grass etc...
In the end, the late afternoon sun was too strong, washing out the colours. Winter, strong sun, yup.

 

Yes thanks, that would work well especially as I could slide it in from the back where the join can't be seen. Good idea, thanks.

 

Thanks Chris. I was hugely impressed by your 38 class loco!

 

Thanks Gormo. Nothing special from me, but a great model.
