I built a set of shelves from balsa, and added some bright details, to catch the eye. They are nothing specific, but maybe paint tins, etc. In place And I've built a cupboard. Firstly as a bit of detail, and also to cover up my thick, wall bracing Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2809 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 01/15/2021 :  08:40:28 AM     I like your interior detailing, Rob. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16788 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 01/15/2021 :  09:59:48 AM       All those little bits inside make clutter for the eye. No need for great detail there.

That's one of the things I enjoy about this site. You all bring a high level of modeling with attention to detail! Scott Country: | Posts: 190 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/17/2021 :  04:37:41 AM     Thanks George, Frank, Jerry & Scott. Scott, yep it's all the little details that make a good model even better. I've made up the rooftop extension. Again just basswood siding mounted on matt board. This was just 3 sides. Then attached to the front wall, and painted Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2809 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/17/2021 :  11:37:58 AM       Rob, Love the interior detail and your approach to building the structure!

Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6130 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/17/2021 :  6:56:44 PM     Looking good Rob. Country: USA | Posts: 4151 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/18/2021 :  01:31:08 AM     Thanks Dave, Frank & Carl. Dave, I do model a bit different to most others, I think. Many seem to paint, add signs, windows etc, while the walls are flat on the work bench, before assembling. I'm always worried about damaging such things due to handling, so tend to add those things last. Maybe I'm just rough. It's just what I'm comfortable with. Also, sometimes I change thing on the fly.

Just used balsa blocks and some scrap box items, just to hint of something, should anyone peak through the windows. 5mm thick balsa Sub-roof on. The good thing about thick balsa, it's strong but weighs nothing Peaking through a window Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2809 thayer Engine Wiper Posted - 01/18/2021 :  02:38:35 AM       Rob, a very effective hint indeed. I will remember that for future builds. Country: | Posts: 327 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/18/2021 :  08:26:30 AM       Rob, I’ve been noticing how straight and true all your walls are in what is a rather complex structure. I agree with previous commenters that being able to look into the interior through doorways and windows and actually seeing details adds a lot of interest. I’ve also noticed your frequent use of balsa. What advantages do you see in using it? Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7221 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 01/18/2021 :  08:59:33 AM     Those simple details on the top floor will look good when peering through the windows.
