Wandering around Glasgow a few weeks ago, I spotted this interesting, and to my mind, very modelable, plumbers yard.
None of the buildings is remarkable, but that's no bad thing. The temptation to stick lots of unusual items, be it buildings, road vehicles, or items of rolling stock, is strong for most modellers, but needs to be resisted for a realistic scene.
Despite the ordinary outline, modelling this requires some skill in the yard area. Lots of detail is required to bring the scene to life. There's quite a bit going on on the walls too, with both pipework and wiring to add texture to the model.
At the time, it reminded me of Iain Robinsons' sketch builders yard. Still one of my favourites.
