The Railway Inn Part 22

 New replacement chimney for the central roof built to replace the oversized one I made before.

I have done some work on 1 of the 3 original sections of roof which is salvageable so it now fits correctly

I did have to cut away some of the roof at the chimney so the overhangs at each end are equal, this did leave a gap the other side of the chimney which I have cut out a piece of roof tile and filled it.

Even this close up the joint is not easy to see and once painted should disappear completely.

I cut out a piece of card and glued it to the plastic section to create a complete dividing wall on the upper floor.

Using clothes pegs and offcuts of plastic sheet to hold the card flat whilst the glue sets

 Detail painting of the Railway Inn this morning and afternoon.

Not that you can see it, but this morning I painted the window casements gloss white and then the 2 doors and 3 upper windows cills gloss black

I have done the same to the rear of the Inn

Chimney flue inspection hatch painted gloss black

To allow the paint some time to dry I vacuumed up the loose green flock on the castle mound now the glue had set

After lunch I painted all the fancy tiles red, and all the lower window and door surrounds grey

Same again on the end of the Inn

Same again to the rear of the Inn

Fancy tiles painted red on this end wall and each side of the chimney, chimney crown painted grey and chimney pots red

Glazing added to all the windows 🪟

3 Upstairs windows glazed

Castle Mound Grass

 I glued some green flock on the castle mound to simulate mowed grass from the car park entrance to the kiosk, as much as I like static grass, I had problems trying to achieve mowed grass on the old layout, so going for the simple option, but will add static grass to the edges of the mowed grass and the non-mowed areas at a later date. 😊

A bit later on I extended the mowed grass from the kiosk round into the ruins. 

All the mowed grass.

 Spray Day this morning, first I sprayed the Railway Inn with grey primer.

Then 1½ hours later I sprayed it with matt white.

Time for a rest🛌 after such hard work! 😴

The Railway Inn Part 19

 This morning before going for coffee at our local Community Centre I was going to primer the Railway Inn when I discovered I had not applied the fancy brickwork to the tall chimney! 

Upon returning home I added the fancy brickwork.

From a different angle

Then I realised I hadn't added the chimney pots!! So I added them.

Then I realised I hadn't added the chimney flue inspection hatch!!! So I added one.

Then I realised I hadn't added the 6 window cills!!!! So I added them.

1 window cill added

2 more window cills added

4 window cill added

Last 2 window cills added

Then I realised I hadn't added the roof tiles to the slopes of the tall chimney!!!!! So I added them.

Tiles on 1 side of the chimney slope

And on the other side

 All ready for primering tomorrow then! 🤪

 Things were going really well with creating the Railway Inn today until..... See caption for details. 😢

2nd Chimney stack built and crown added

Internal walls for the ground floor added.

Internal walls for the first floor added.

I discovered whilst fitting the internal walls the floor had dropped at one end of the building so I had to carefully prised it apart from the walls and reglued it where it should be.

4 transoms created for 2 parts of the roof.

2 sections of roof glued together with 2 transoms glued in place.

3 sections of roof glued together with 2 transoms glued in place.

Central section of roof glued together with 2 transoms glued in place.

Chimney glued in the central roof.

Central roof from underneath.

All 3 sections of roof.

This is the unfortunate bit, the central roof doesn't fit!

Something has gone wrong dimensionally, I am leaving it now until tomorrow for when I have got over the disappointment. If I cannot fix what I have done I will have to create 2 new section of roof tile and a new chimney, the only roof tiles I have are grey, but once painted it won't matter.
