One door closes another door opens!

As the door of 2021 closes and the door to 2022 opens there is a similar situation with the two sheds for my narrow gauge railway. As I said a few posts back, one shed will have its doors open. Unfortunately the kit doors do not include the internal detail of the doors or the floor. The floor has already been made and described a couple of posts ago so the next job on the non-Mrs. Wood list of jobs was to make some internal detail on the doors.

The external detail on the doors.

The undetailed and blank back of the doors - a bit like me - featureless!

After scribing some plank detail with the back of a scalpel blade and assisted by a straight edge the internal framework of the doors was added from an off cut of plastic sheet lying on the work bench - sometimes its useful to be untidy!

I have also added the roof sheets and the window frames to the sheds and although not finished yet they are taking shape. The doors still need another coat of paint on the internal side which will probably get done sooner than the door that is still on Mrs. Woody's list of jobs for me! Just don't tell her!

I have also airbrushed the various crates and barrels in  wood shade - the drums will wait until I decide on their colour. A bit of weathering will tone the brightness of them.

With regard to watery matters, I have given the wharf walls and the bridge abutments a gentle misting of green paint where the water line will be. If you look at any structure surrounded by water for a while there is a layer of green slime (no doubt there is a biological definition but slime is about my limit on the science front!) that builds up. It is subtle, but hopefully will have a visual impact.

Well that is another year of modelling done! Hope you see the New Year in, in the manner which you want to and hopefully this blog and me - oh and nearly forgot (how could I) Mrs. W - will be here in 2022 for more adventures from WMD HQ!
