Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: It's been a productive half term for me! I've completed all three parts of this wonderful commission, I know I say this for each one I do but I absolutely loved it! I certainly look forward to doing more commissions! These are now going off Monday to their owner 😁 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #ngauge #bridge #railways #railwayenthusiasts #completedcommission #railwaybridge #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #commission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #brickwork #roadbridge #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh railway station) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIyc33nDGl/?igshid=1rwmt526dl1fx

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: What happens before and after I get the paint brushes out... absolutely love doing brick work detailing! I started off with a white base coat of watered down acrylic and added in patches of browns and oranges. I then blended them to give an overall colouring before picking out bricks and weathering further... I'm not finished yet either! Swipe through to see where I'm at with the other buildings 👍 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #ngauge #bridge #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #railwaybridge #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #brickwork #roadbridge #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBGJ0Sgz37/?igshid=gmxd86w8qtpi

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: A little update before my work on these on the weekend... I've got quite far and I'm neatly ready to prime. I've applied the roof tiles and nearly completed the brickwork on the main station building (some edges to deal with) and I've added the little legs to the grain store. I'm going to enjoy painting the brick work so much 👌🤘 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #grainstore #drawings #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #construction #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #sculptured #artisttryingtomakealivingcreatingart #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQKWqDnGYY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10um5wjdfa8xj

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: Working hard to get the brickwork right on the station building, spending time picking out individual bricks and tiles 👍 also I've begun the bridge that has also been commissioned and its been a challenge because of the angles of the walls. I had to use a combination of Google Maps and my own head to work out those angles but we got there. Next job is to create the retaining walls on each side 👌 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #ngauge #bridge #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #railwaybridge #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #brickwork #roadbridge #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7JydgHUWE/?igshid=1ca7cgmnj4qqp

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: Corrugated iron in n gauge... I thought I'd share with you the tool I've just ended up creating to make miniature corrugated sheeting... in the past I've used two coke bottle lids rolled together to imprint the corrugated pattern but now I am working at such a small scale that I needed to build something to help do the job. I found two identical valves and glued two tubes of plastic to a sheet of plasticard, I've then placed the valves close together on top which has given me a textured roller system 👍 P.s I wanted to go to Makers Central this weekend but unfortunately teaching on the side has taken over... I will aim for next year 😁 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #ngauge #inventing #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #construction #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #corrugatediron #corrugatedmetal #sculptured #artisttryingtomakealivingcreatingart #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUkXv1nIsP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8px84zuj1kb3

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station area buildings: I've begun the brickwork and painted up the grain store 👍 I started with a mucky wash on the station building to get into the mortar lines, I then went over the bricks with a brown and now I'm picking out individual and clusters of bricks to build out the detail... it's a job with a lot of patience is needed 👌 I'm aware the tiles are uneven along bottom of the roof but the guttering will level that out 👍 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #ngauge #drawings #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #construction #artcommunity #southernrailway #stationbuilding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #brickwork #artisttryingtomakealivingcreatingart #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxnen1QnLno/?igshid=1d9jzkm27m4q2

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station building: A big jump from the start but I've cut the wall sections out, sorted the brickwork out and I've put them all together. I needed to show the building at this stage before I ended up getting too far ahead with things 😂 it's coming along well 😁 #eastbudleigh #lettheartdothetalking #stationbuilding #walls #railways #railwayenthusiasts #commission #brickwork #artcommunity #southernrailway #plasticwelding #railwaystation #newcommission #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #paintinganddetailing #thestart #sculptured #artisttryingtomakealivingcreatingart #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #weathering (at East Budleigh) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxC926YHEvP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u6a80pdffwbt

Commission - 2mm scale replica of East Budleigh Station building: Whoa! Here we go, onto another commission, but wait this build will be 1 of 3 parts!!!! Crazy! So this is the start of the station building which I've drawn out but swipe to the right and you'll see the grain store and also the bridge which I will be making over the coming weeks... They all are structures that featured around East Budleigh station and the chap who has commissioned me to make them is making a model railway layout of the station which I won't be able to wait to see!
