Long overdue update. Work has slowed for the summer, but I have had time lately to make some progress. The project is taking a lot longer than I had thought. It is very hard to cut out windows and make everything as straight as possible. The below pictures show some of the scribe work to make the block detail. All of the block work is to scale and an exact (or close to it) match to the actual building at 1/48 scale.
The first picture is a shot of the side windows to the left of the waiting room large arched windows. The second picture shows the arched top windows that face the passenger platform next to the tracks.
These two pictures show the front entrance to the station which is at ground level. I have to complete cutting the vertical detail pieces above the window and the door, which is very difficult to get just right. Also there is more scribed block work on these pieces, as you can see in the second picture. More decorative pieces go above the center of the door, and window. I have not yet figured out what I will use for those pieces.
This final picture shows an overall shot of the top level of the station. For perspective, the track is Atlas O-72. The caboose is an EJ&E O-27. I am currently finishing the scribe work. The next step will be to add trim and decorative pieces, and start testing paint options.
