Cottages for Raven Hill

 

A pair of cottages have just been completed to go with the pub.  They are made in the same way using a foam board shell with Redutex Stone sheet applied and Juweela Roof Tiles glued onto a card base.  For the windows, this time I used multiples of 4mm scale Dornaplas six-pane windows, and the doors are resin models from 422 Modelmaking.  Some flashing will be added on the roof where the cottages join the pub when I get to mount them on the base board.  Looking at the photos, I think the buildings would benefit from some curtains at the windows.

I also arranged all the buildings that I have so far on the village board to see what it may all look like.  A start has now been made on a small warehouse/works.

About Me

I had been modelling 009 scale narrow gauge model railways for over 40 years, so I decided to write about my projects including my recent layouts in larger scales Gn15 and now O9. I have built layouts large, small, and micro, and find the hobby creative and enjoyable. Initially I ran my layouts at home, but from 1992 I started exhibiting at local shows with a few friends in the "Norfolk 009 Group", then later I preferred exhibiting with my wife who has been very helpful and also enjoys making scenery on the layouts. In 2016 I decided to build a layout in a larger scale - 1:24 - 15" gauge (sometimes called Gn15 scale), and we built an exhibition layout called "Longstone" in this scale. While "Longstone" was being exhibited regularly, I briefly returned to 009 modelling in 2018. Now (from late 2019) I model in O9 scale (7mm scale, 15" gauge) which I enjoy immensely. email: graham.watling1@ntlworld.com
