    Wathing this thread with intertest Mel
    Like that last pic of the 'rockery',  broken concrete when old looks very good
     
    love the grain on that split slate in the cutting


    Lots of inspiration from the Stoneycombe & Penrose Valley went into that Don. Glad you like it.

                    In the previous photo you got a glance of the new building for the town section, one (or rather two) of Stocker's finest - a Pendlebury "Village Shop" and "Village Cottage" joined together to make a small terrace.

                    After much planning (it's held together with tape in the first photo) the descision was made as to which way round it would be built, then the main structure was glued together with epoxy resin. A fair bit of filler was required, but mostly around the join between the two buildings (which is not what they were originally designed for). I also added a floor and party wall to reduce the "see through" effect.

                    The whole thing was then given a coat of Halfords primer.

                      Looking good Mel.
                      I know I should'nt look, coz I'm no good with spray painting, me.
                      Is your mastership of spraying anything to do with a previous occupation Real Big Smile
                      To live a longer life it seems that you must give up all that you enjoy, Nah not me, take me as you find me. I will be the one still smiling.  Trevor.

                        The terrace was then painted with matt enamels.

                        QI fans might get the Gorange gent's outfitters reference ("perhaps young sir would favour a cummabund for the cross-country?" Real Big Smile ).



                        The shop window dummies are 1/32nd figures nicked from my Scalextric layout.



                        The Cornflakes add on the end wall came as a £1 key-ring from Llanfair station the last time we visited the W&LLR. We'll see how it stands up to being outdoors in all weathers.



                        Access to the rear of the cottage is via a brick outhouse ..... well, some bricks have been used for a recent repair anyway. I understand that this is a new moulding from Pendlebury, in which case I can't wait to see what else Alan has got up his sleeve, because the moulding detail on the roof especially is excellent.
                        Curtains were kindly donated from the wife's quilting box, (Yes, she does know).



                        Next time the weather is good enough for train running, I'll take some pics with the terrace in place.

                              To be perfectly honest, I can't answer that as I have never built a BOB kit. All I can say is that the Pendlebury models just ooze character and that Stockers offers an excellent service and does a very good deal for members of this forum in my experience.

                              I've also built resin buildings by T&M, Modeltown and Lineside Delights and the Pendlebury kits stand up really well compared with them.

                              I'm sure that Alan would be more than happy to discuss your needs via a PM?

                                        The warehouse is one of my favourites, I converted mine to make it low relief (really easy to modify these kits).



                                        I can recommend the lineside hut too. Just my sort of thing.
