Beautiful work, once again. The deck looks great - I stored a couple of your pictures in my waterfront project file.   Inspirational work, thank you for sharing it with us. That weeping willow tree is amazing.

Thanks for the kind words, Jerry.

I am always drawn more to colour than anything else when searching for signs.  I felt the red on the Norton boatbuilders sign really popped, especially when framed with the antique white trim.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks so much, John.

I decided to build it as two separate pieces (bearers and piles/ joists and decking with structure attached) to allow me to scenic under the wharf.  I'm hoping I'll find room to get tools in there and do what I need.  Time will tell...

Neil does some great work on his scenery.  I must take a couple of overall photos next time I'm in his basement.

Cheers, Mark.

Hi guys.

I thought I'd stop by and upload a couple of photos with the roofs on and the last of the cross braces attached to the piles.  I thought I had allowed heaps of 8x2" timber for those cross braces - there isn't much left over!  The lengths worked out will for my stock - 6 pieces cut on the chopper per stick and there was an offcut about 3mm long.  We like that! I'll add some nut-bolt-washer castings to the outside braces, and maybe the next row in (depending on how difficult it is).  Beyond that I don't think you'll be able to see.  I may add some dots of rust further back in the right position.

The roof pieces still need their ridging added before painting.  The small lean-to roof will also be clad in corrugated metal and the central lean-to roof will be clad in rolled roofing.  Fly rafters and rafter tails will be added in antique white from 6x2" timber.  I always put my fly rafters at the very extremity of the roof.  Many modelers seem to put them hard up against the gable walls, and leave the 2' soffits unsupported.  The gable wall behind the cladding supports the roof and so rafters added to the side of the cladding are nothing more than expensive and unnecessary trim.  I'll try and remember to draw a diagram of how we used to usually attach fly rafters when building houses.

Photo 1 - shows the bearers and piles with the cross bracing completed.  You can see I have long thin rectangles in which to get my fat fingers and tools in for landscaping/ seascaping...hopefully!

Photo 2 - shows the deck and structure slotted in position.

Photo 3 - shows the structure from above showing the different roofing materials.

More soon, cheers, Mark.

Hi guys.

Thanks so much for looking in and the nice comments, Karl, Gregory and Jerry.

I've been playing around with some lighting - something I haven't tried before.  Still a bit more playing to be done, but I'm liking the effects.  The light shining through hose partially opened doors is pretty cool.  I'm pleased I did them with 6x1" rather than 6x2".

More soon, cheers, Mark.

Mark, Cheers,

This wharf project is looking fantastic. I really like how you have the building and roofs at different angles. Makes the entire diorama look very natural for the setting.

Great job on your first attempt at lighting. I'm assuming you are using LEDs as you didn't specify otherwise.

Very nice on all of it.

Yes - LED's.  I was given a Woodland Scenics transformer, light hub and a couple of stick on LED's.  I bought a few other accessories to add to it and see what I thought.

Cheers, Mark.

Hi guys.

Here is a couple of shots with some details added to the interior of the boat shop.  I added decking to the floor, added a suitable interior division wall image, attached to some card, and painted and added some details - drums, crates and shelving.  A figure or two still to add.

Photo 1 - shows the view from above with the roof removed.

Photo 2 - shows the view through the doors.

Photo 3 - shows the same view at night.

More soon, cheers, Mark.

This really looks great. I love the peak inside the door with all the details and the lighting is fantastic.
