No weathering has been applied yet....

An Intentio waiting shelter has been built and painted in BR Western Region colours....
I deviated from the kit by using Slaters corrugated sheet for roof cover instead of the fine emery paper supplied...
A gutter and drainpipe was also fitted, then it was weathered...

Just a few metres from my driveway is two large pits from an unfortunate accident with a couple of these after the war. I think that might have been 6th Jan 45, Phil? S/N 42-97082 MISSION MISTRESS lost an engine on take-off and crashed right next to where you are in the woods and caught fire...

I didn't commission the waiting shelter. As I am a regular laser cut builder, Phil very kindly tries the occasional kit out on me. They help keep me occupied during the Winter WB season.
Seeing as the season is coming ot an end, I am working on cattle dock from Ratio and building it to suit a particular location. Regulars of this thread may remember the previous one was moved all over the place and finally fell apart haha. This one knows where its going! The external walls have been replaced by Wills random stone...

I did look at them and wonder that Larry. Didn't get around to asking this morning if it was deliberate.

I quite often find the camera spots it where just looking doesn't... No idea why it works like that.

Quite simply, it is because people tend to see what they expect to see, not what is actually there in front of them.
In real life there is always so much else "going on" that the brain kind of just takes in the big picture and will smooth out the details, but when you are looking at a photograph you are much more likely to be focused on that one thing.

The cattle pens was sprayed with Halfords grey plastic primer. 2 hours later it was sprayed with my cellulose sandstone colour...
After an hour, it was masked off and sprayed with my weathering colour, very much like Sleeper Grime. The rest will be done with weathering...

Finished... A concoction of diluted acrylic black and red plus Fairy Liquid was mixed in a bottle and brushed onto the sandstone paint. When te surface of the stonework was dry but the cememner courdeses wet, The dock was run under hte cold tap to wash out the surplus.....
THe wall in this side will be burried in 'land' and will not be seen and so the acrylic paint was not washed out of the courses....
The Peco kit contains appropriate signs. the sign was first painted dark brown, then carefully rubbed face down on wet & dry to expose the lettering. It needs a wash to remove the dust....

It's official, Llanfair Road: The first time one of my Western Region signal boxes has been named. Phil at Intentio kindly did this engraved polate plus a running-in board. They are self adhesive and have to be accurately positioned before pressing down...
