New member with a different agenda...

[Stubby47]

Hi everyone, hopefully you'll accept me as a member.

I make model buildings, mainly for model railways clients, but am open to any sort of requests - No, I'm not looking to advertise my services here, but it's why I've joined the forum.

What I would like to do, firstly is send a note of thanks to @Tunnel Gricer , for the photos they posted about Ashby Tunnel. I was commissioned to make a model, and found the extra photos on here very useful.

I'm not an urban explorer, at least not to the extent that seems popular on here, but I am an avid buildings investigator, their history and story, as all this helps when creating my models.

If I may, I'll add a photo of the tunnel mouth.

Cheers

Stu

That looks amazing, love the calcite.
How did you do the brickwork ? It looks 3D, is it molded or carved ?

The brickwork is embossed plastic sheet, the arch way bricks are laser etched on thin mdf.

That looks amazing! To be fair there is a ton of railway infrastructure and buildings that would be a good model, the good shed at Heyrod power station, or maybe the Dinting engine shed, a lot of possibility. I would love to see your work

Again, thanks for your comments.
Most of my models are not actually railway infrastructure, as they are well catered for by the main model manufacturers. My portfolio includes bespoke models of specific structures for clients who are reproducing a certain area.

Not normally a fan of the plasticard walling, I know some people can make it look great but I've always preferred the separate clay block construction. It takes forever of course but the results are amazing. Also depends on scale required.
Keep up the good work, would like to see some abandoned buildings like denby done.

Hey, guys I decided to do a solo visit to the old Great Northern Railway corn warehouse today in Nottingham. The main warehouse is in surprisingly good condition despite the absence of the original roof. However the office building to the west of the building is in a much worse sate as most of...

Thanks. That's a little bit ( no, a whole huge bit) bigger than I've done before. But, as a completed model, to then sell on, it is a distinct possibility.
