Here’s the first thing from my large stash of kits.
422 Modelmaking make a ‘Timber Platelayers’ Hut Kit’. It’s a nice kit but I wondered if could be converted into a simple timber platform store.
The kit normally has a door and a window in the front. I asked 422 to supply me with an additional rear wall instead of the normal front wall.
Here’s the kit bash…. Click on a photo for a larger image.


















So far so good. It looks like a simple store, made on the cheap.
The corrugated aluminium comes from a company called Schulcz. It was in my stash but I have absolutely no memory of where or when I brought it (?). It’s rather nice though.
Painting will come later. I will try to paint groups of buildings at the same time so the paintwork appears consistent.
More soon…
Nicely done. The padlock is superb and I like the bolt detail on the roof, correctly placed on the ‘hills’ rather than the ‘valleys’.

Thanks Paul. I studied the corrugated buildings at the Mid-Suffolk Railway.They have a selection of nicely preserved ‘Edwardian’ corrugated buildings. Worth a look:
