I purchased a large Halt kit from Lineside Delights , P.no.LD030, to try out a resin model kit. the following pictures show the product almost finished. i have to paint the gutter and repaint the downpipe but so far all looks ok. The windows were completely cast and I cut out the panes and glued some clear syrene to the inside. other than that it is as bought.
Then i decided it would look better on a platform. I had some 4.5mm acrylic so i bashed up this:-
sorry about the photo quality. the platform has a ramp at one end and stairs at the other I then decided some fencing would be in order so i began to manufacture some. I had purchased some (1000) wooden ON30 ties from fast tracks and thought they would be good pickets. here is the start of the Halt, platform and picket fence
Of course then the stairs needed some balustrading
That is where I am at the moment. I intend the fence to cover the complete rear of the platform and ramp. The platform will need some kind of finish but as yet I am not sure what to do, other than grey paint as per a concrete look. now I can see through the windows I might need some curtains to prevent people seeing that there is nothing inside. I will post some more as I progress, any comments, other details needed appreciated. Dave
