These 1/76th scale buildings were made to try out various construction techniques and materials. The design came from a series called "Making a Model Village" which can be freely downloaded, but I altered some of the details to suit my tastes. With the exception of the roofs, which are a commercial moulding, they are made entirely from card and paper, and represent a style of building common in England in the 17th century. In fact, I did not use them on the model railway, and they are incomplete - no gutters and downpipes, no television aerials, - and no dustbins !! Canon Ixus V2. Photofinished in Gimp.

Another view of part of my 1/76 scale model railway, this building is actually a scenic cover for a three track traverser, which allows short rakes of wagons to be stored in hidden sidings beneath the roadways. Scratch-built from a mixture of cardboard and MDF, it is covered with brick papers downloaded from the internet. It's not quite finished, and although this isn't high quality architectural modelling, hopefully it serves to convey some of the grimness of post-war industrial Britain!
