A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.

Signalling hut - finished
After all the work, a few finishing touches were required to complete the hut. The back half of the roof was fixed in place - the moulding wasn't nearly as sharp as the one used on the front, something I've noticed on Wills kits before.
After painting with Humbrol colours sort-of right for the GWR livery the real thing wears, a wash of track colour and light dusting with weathering powders finished the job.
It's a nice little model and like most Wills kits, very pleasant to put together. I know I've filled a lot of posts with the build but you could do the same job in an evening. It's just that I have a lot of work on at the moment so need to spin these things out to meet my post-a-day intentions.
And in case you are wondering why the model is sat on sand, the wires coming out of the bottom don't let it sit flat on a surface. When installed on a layout, I'll drill a hole for them to exit the baseboard.
