8. Drainpipe in green

 A small advance with the smallest building in the mill complex I am constructing in 2mm scale.

I’ve added a gutter and downspout, though I’m now thinking it would probably have had a header on the spout, or whatever they were called. Anyway it’s on, painted in “Works Green”, and looks the part. 

Just brass wire and fuse wire to attach it. The gutter is card.


I can’t stress the value of photographs to record progress. This was my second take after only seeing an off square door top thing, my brain has forgotten all the names tonight! Seeing models in blown up photos can really help with quality control.

Now, onwards with the bigger buildings.

In other news, the 08 (see last post) now has wheels turning in both directions, and the frames are ready to be fitted after testing and chemical blackening.
