A Cheeky Build……….

As my main job, I work as a stock controller at the local port. It happens that once a month I am required to work both Saturday and Sunday. Granted it is only for four hours or so each day but, the time does seem to drag a little, as it is not as busy as it is during the week. So, after yesterday morning sitting twiddling my thumbs waiting for wagons to turn up to be loaded, I decided that today I would take a knife, ruler, glue and some card to work and fill in my time building a model. I didn’t want to take the new build I have started, the T007 Office Block, as all of the elements are laid out on my table. So I thought I would have a bash at the free R002b Low Relief Warehouse. It’s not a difficult build as it is designed as a free download to encourage people try the products available from scalescenes. Sort of try before you buy. It only took me a couple of hours in total to finish this build in between wagons coming in, but it did help the time fly by. If I can build this in a couple of hours, I’m sure that if you downloaded this kit or even the R002 Small Goods Shed, with a little patience and some gluey fingers, you will not be disappointed with the results. So go on, give it a try, you may just enjoy it.

Here it is in all of it’s glory…

P.S. Don’t tell the boss what I’ve been up to.

Hopefully this time next week I will have so pictures of the T007 Office block to show you. After that I may go missing for a couple of weeks, but don’t worry it’s just that Jak and I going the the last night of the proms at Castle Howard next weekend and the weekend after Jak’s Boss Gary is getting married to a delightful American girl Bailey, at Maften Hall in Northumberland and we have been invited. We have booked a room for the night so we don’t have to worry about getting home afterwards. So no model making for a couple of weeks.

Until Next Time…………

Great blog Chris. I'm 72 and I belong to a model RR club in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. We are updating our modules and I will be given a 2'x4', two mailine track with a small siding to scenic. I've decided to try paper models and downloaded the T002b Low Relief Warehouse in OO Scale. I'm assuming when I print this I'll have to scale it down to 87% for HO.

Anyway, on their home page I saw your blog listed and checked you out. Awesome content and I'll be back for more.

I'm going to be modeling an industrial scene and this low relief file looks like it would be perfect at the back of the module directly in front of the backboard.
