Building a Church
Jon & Jim, if only I had read your post earlier this week! :D
All the tiles are attached now, I spent a few days in the office this week with blackened fingers!! (thankfully no mishaps around the church, just on my hands). Invested in a box of surgical gloves for next time!
Will put up some posts of the church in situ soon, just got to test a rain shower on it to work out where there needs to be some drainage working into the model.

By drainage do you mean actual guttering that works? The flat roof parts will be a tough one, as there should be a over shoot to the roof below, then a hopper either end of each apex with a downpipe to the ground, of course on any straight bit of roof striaght guttering with downpipes down the walls will do just fine, have you started ground works on the drains

Some pictures of the finished build, kind of sad to finish as have enjoyed the build! Need another project now :-)
Just finishing off some drainage through the towers and then it'll have it's permanent place in the garden.

As you can see from the finished pictures on the previous page I went for drainage channels on the lower roof to shift as much water from the roofs off the side.JCSteam:119603 wrote:By drainage do you mean actual guttering that works?

The flat roof I'm not too worried about as there are gaps round the edge and the model if hollow so it shouldn't trap standing water.
The towers have a drainage hole in the centre of the top and then holes at the base.
I thought about putting some drain pipes in (I did on my station built a few years back), but if you look at photos of the real church a lot of the water was just dispersed outwards rather than taken down drain pipes. I thought about doing this for the towers too but decided it would be too fiddly! :D

Took a while, but here it is in situ with some modeltown figures.
Holding up well to the weather, might need a little bit of maintenance to change the roof material on the small flat areas behind the towers but apart from that the foamboard is doing well.

p.s. the white streaks on the right tower isn't the paint weathering badly. No that's the birds getting rid of all the digested seeds that my wife insists on feeding them!

You know what I don't think I do, next time I have it running I'll take some footage and post it up here!tom_tom_go:120680 wrote:Great work, I like the look of that diesel as well.
Do you have any videos of it running by any chance please?
