Bavarian Cottage Model 12d

October 13, 2020 by 4g3nd4

1/2" Scale miniature, shot up on a hill against natural sky & distant landscape. White bounceboard for shadow fill, no flash. Almost 2′ tall, wood construction, cast resin details, and polyester resin for stucco like textures. This was a piece for a private collector.

These scale models are also ideal for G-scale garden railroads, part of a European Village.

Fantasy Storybook House Model 12e (Color Corrected)

September 24, 2020 by 4g3nd4

Scale model color corrected from the previous photo. The first time I downloaded this I didnt realize I had color correction on the scanner! www.flickr.com/photos/8331880@N02/3600447061/

Some more models rndmodelshop.com/

Now we can see the window frames and stucco detail a little better. The window to the right over the door has an organic stain glass pattern to it. The double window below has a diamond criss cross in it. The doorknobs themselves are the heads of nails, the rust color is.. well.. rusty nail heads!

As an experiment I tried different patterns for each of the windows. I made wood masters, poured silicone rubber molds, then 2 part resin parts. It saves alot of time re-making components for other houses.

Roughly 24 inches tall mounted on a round base, interior lit. Please see the other photo in the stream that gives the scale better 🙂

All wood & rigid material construction. No clay, foamcore, card stock, fimo, super sculpey, etc..

Godnow Bridge

August 25, 2020 by 4g3nd4

66074 approaches the reverse curves of Godnow Bridge with the 4R53 1355 Drax to Immingham biomass empties.

The railway here is on raised ground between the Stainforth and Keadby canal (just visible on the far side of the track), and drainage ditches, which all run parallel with the railway.

There is a very attractive ground level gate box here, which replaced the original signal box in the year 2000. It’s quite an attractive building too, incorporating some of the decorative woodwork of the original box.

13th March 2020.

Former Chicago & Alton Railroad Station, Lincoln, Illinois

August 24, 2020 by 4g3nd4

A view of the historic Chicago & Alton Railroad Station in Lincoln, Illinois. The Spanish Mission-style depot building was constructed in 1911 by the former Chicago & Alton Railroad, and later used by the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The station underwent a $4.1 million dollar renovation in 2016-17. Historic interior features include the original ticket counter, a scale used to weigh luggage and handsome woodwork. The depot building is now occupied by the Logan County Tourism Bureau, while the Amtrak station is located in the rail line’s former freight depot, now connected by a breezeway, that was also renovated in 2017.

Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.

Durand Union Station porch

August 21, 2020 by 4g3nd4

The two-and-a-half-storey Durand Union Station was designed by architects Frederich Spier and William C. Rohns, who also designed the Niles and Dowagiac stations, and completed in 1903 for the Grand Trunk Railway System and the Ann Arbor Railroad. This facility was constructed in the Chateau Revival style with Missouri granite brick and Bedford cut stone, with a slate roof. Its turreted west end with its circular porch faces the former Grand Trunk Railway mainline. Its interiors featured marble wainscoting and terrazzo flooring on the ground floor and oak woodwork throughout. The original station contained a ticket office, waiting rooms, ladies’ parlor, gentlemen’s smoking room, large corridors and a dining room. The second floor served as railroad office space, crew sleeping quarters, and telegraph offices. The cost of the structure was $60,000 in 1903.

Bavarian Cottage Model 12e

August 16, 2020 by 4g3nd4

1/2" Scale miniature, shot up on a hill against natural sky & distant landscape. White bounceboard for shadow fill, no flash (I didnt color correct the scanner so its too dark but the weathered paint and textures are more accurate). Wood construction, cast resin details, polyester resin for stucco-like textures. Finished piece for a private collector. These are also ideal for G-scale garden railroads, part of a European Village.

I re scanned the photo this time with color correction (I didnt know it was an option on the scanner argh) so I lightened it www.flickr.com/photos/8331880@N02/3667593460/ That pops the color a little bit better!
