Five met for a very successful meeting inaugural. Julian gave a brief introduction and set us on our way.
John shared some photos of progress he'd made on his Darjeeling & Himalaya railway. The first one shows the well known feature of the urinal at Kurseong with an up train for Darjeeling running past. The Urinal is constructed from card on a balsa frame. The second photo shows a close up of Kurseong Station building again constructed from card (except for corrugated roofing from Wills sheets). Windows are all hand cut in card and the posters, timetables etc. are all reproduced courtesy of Google Street View.
Hugh treated us to photos of card buildings he'd built as a teenager, a shack, water mill and half timbered home. He also explained the construction technique used on buildings on Angst-Lesspork
Paul shared photos of card stock and a building including the Alphagraphix L&BER bogie brake and Clogher goods shed as seen here.
Meetings are to be held in a bi-monthly pattern and the next will be on Thursday 10th February at 8.00pm.
s.p.t. 12-12-21.
I don't know how I missed this topic but the models are super. From an ankle snapper to now, I've always enjoyed working in cardboard.
I completed my engine shed 2 years ago. It does have 3 commercial items in its construction. Das for render, brick paper from Noch, and the windows from a clear styrene sheet.
It's not to the same calibre as these models.
Robin.
