Yep, today, just put the tools away (and cleaned out the cement mixer).

That is awesome. You can't even see any seams and thats hard to do with brickface. Truely some magnificent work. The Roof on the tower is perfect, the whole station is perfect. Did you have to use 4 stations?

Thank you kindly sir; you can see the seams if you know where to look, but I am pleased with the result. Just two stations used, this is what's left over:

Anyone need a spare window?

Absolutely beautiful and certainly the only one of its kind. Only using 2 stations is also quite the feat. Making the seams so there aren't any gaps is truly an art and it doesn't look to be any paint used so you you must have smoother out the cuts pieces so as not to see any rough plastic. What was your tool of choice?

Square, +2.5 reading glasses, liquid polystyrene cement, paintbrush, craft saw, needle files, ruler, emery-board, Stanley knife, and a sheet of no.150 emery paper.

excellent. Now you can fit a 3 car train into one station Smile

Thanks Chrisjo. I am going to have to look into a craft saw like that and maybe those reading glasses to as moving my head around trying to line up my bifocals is a pain. Good idea. Can't wait to see this station situated on a layout. Hmmm, thought of installing some interior lighting to shine out those windows maybe?
