You can't beat a MK 2 for comfort, those at north weald are great. Still in blue and grey

My Welsh style signal box is going through the Intentio paint shop.
Here, I've built the box and it is in parts ready for painting and Peter has primed all over in Halfords Primer.
Peter our lead artist is seen here using his coursing tool to widen the gaps between some of the block work to bring a bit more relief to the otherwise flat laser cut stone work.

Hmm, I can see them but I've uploaded the images now where before I had just copied them in to the post.

When you copied them in to the post originally they were still linked to the photos on the Gauge O Guild forum. For those of us with an active GOG login then the images were visible - for everyone else it was just a little blue box with a question mark. Now they have been uploaded then they are visible to all.

A little diversion in to something GWR.
I think it is highly likely that I will be constructing a GWR based running plank.

Early mock up.

Starting to add the bricks. This is the hardest part for me as I obsess that I've got the correct pattern.

Well, it is based drawings of Wargrave but I was just putting together a set of standard parts such as attached so that I could produce any of the GWR standard stations.
The dimensions on the drawings are what I'm coining as metric feet! 5.25 metric feet is 5'3" and 1.5 metric feet is 1'6" in old money.

A bit more done on the station. I'm not happy that the roof line is quite right just yet. It is also interesting that there are no doors on the road side.

Been a busy day catching up on jobs. Southern Signal Box is a bit tricky but the ground floor is coming together ok. Next the difficult curved walls of the first floor! 
Some lasercut baseboards too.
And a house sign for a Western Thunderer...

On the signal box, my client wanted an interior that could be detailed so I’ve included all the internal walls and rooms including the stair well;
And the toilet, only one and locker rooms.
Not sure how will be viewable but sometimes it is just the knowing.
I’m putting the kit together and much of it will disassemble to allow for painting. @Peter Insole has quoted for the finishing off and painting and I wait to hear if that’s the direction my client wants to go. I know Pete is itching to have a go, no doubt because of the southern connection! I know he will do a fabulous job too.

Green and Stone paint on stand by Phil...!
At least all those internals will help to keep that wonderful great long structure straight and true as well as blocking some light and casting a variety of shadows in the windows.
It would be rather fun to put a warm white LED in the loo - so it would look like someone had been in and left the light on...?!

Another diversion from where I wanted to be;
A house sign for my mum. How could I refuse?
Then back to the signal box.

and the tricky curved brickwork is being applied.
The join that can be just seen will be covered by a rain water pipe rather conveniently.

1mm MDF, and it was a B******D...... but I didn't want to use thiner ply as I didn't want to risk a woodgrain finish bleeding through.
