Adding some of my signature puddles on Grimsby and Intentio pits on my new Show display

 

More work on the shed scene at Grimsby

Box was collected this morning so it’s time to start a new project, not quite sure what the brief is just yet but the client was adamant they wanted the same pair of buildings I used on Kemys Fawr a few years back

so here they are, Superb kits from Intentio designs, don’t take long to assemble it’s the paint process that takes ages!

 

Many thanks, the signal was made by Jon Fitness
Box made the national press yesterday with a picture in the Daily Telegraph.
The bridge for Newton Mills underway, dry assembled ready for painting.

 

New GW shed project underway, Pontycwm 6’ x2’ my dad started it and there’s a coal stage and shed building to go with it, I’m removing the Peco track and home made pits to replace with C&L track and Intentio pits, a few Intentio lineside buildings will also be added.

 

The bridge for Newton Mills is nearly complete and we have the brick sides glued in place in the pits for Grimsby
