Yorke Animal Feeds (Ltd)

 Yorke Animal Feeds 

The weather's been grotty lately so we are working along the back scene from left to right placing buildings and images.  The warehouse was designated an animal feed merchant (eventually), so a sign and arch were created using some old dry print lettering, everything else I had was too small.  Opening gates and posts were made from plasticard to complete the building.  All it needs now is an old Land Rover parked outside and a farmer loading sacks.

Adding Buildings, and new loco.

 

"Orthus" posed for a photo on the new scenic section.

Positioning of some of the buildings on the village board is in progress.  Corner Cottage was glued in place first at a slightly higher level, as "Beacon Hill" rises behind the village.  A stone wall was created in front of the cottage (actually the rear of the building) with some railings added.

Corner Cottage in position with some watercolour calendar cut-outs added to the back scene to give more depth.

More of the village scene.

"Orthus" in primer.

I bought a resin Freelance Diesel kit from Barry McDowell, the mouldings are very good and the kit went together beautifully.  I love the look of the completed model, it runs on a Kato 103 tram chassis.

Just finished is this cottage rear to fit into the corner of the village scene.  Made using a foam board shell again with the last remnants of some Redutex sheet for the stone walls, Juweela Pan Tiles and York Modelmaking window frames.  This should be the last of the buildings made to go into the village scene.

A Warehouse?

 A Warehouse?

Just completed is this warehouse for the village scene, but really I am not sure what it will be yet, possibly a garage, animal feed supplier, or an small engineering firm.  I was made using 5mm foam board again, but this time using whitewashed Slaters Large Stone sheet as the stonework.  Windows are by York Modelmaking, the office door is Peco and the other warehouse doors are scratch built.

Again I have used the Juweela Pan Tiles, the photo below shows the roof panels being made.  The building sits at a slight angle to the back scene so it was difficult getting panels cut to fit.

Yesterday I applied this "mush" to the village baseboard as the ground cover.  It's the lightweight filler/fine sawdust/p.v.a/acrylic paint/water mix I always use, and because of the good weather it has almost dried already.
