The Railway Station
Using some photos from an internet website and rough measurements from
google earth i have begun constructing the Jamestown Railway station
building. It is made from sheets of foamboard purchased at office works
cut and glued together and covered in a thin layer of airdry clay. I
experimented alot with ways to create the stonework of the building
hoping to find a quick easy solution that looked good but to no avail.
Using the clay takes a while longer than pasting coloured paper to the
sides but i think it looks much more realistic, it will eventually be
painted to resemble large limestown blocks in a random ashlar style. The
small bricks used for the corners and windowsills are red but i think
may also pass as a painted cream colour. For the roof i used matchsticks
and plain white card, I then cut strips of tin foil and wrapped them
around a screw to get the corrugated iron look. Once everything is glued
together and painted fingers crossed i get soemthing that looks like a
railway station!
