Building Bikkelheim

From the previous post
I have already removed the flowers and window boxes, the setting for Bikkelheim is early 1945.
Most railway buildings on EBay, if you want a lower price anyway, are off layouts. Invariably they have bits missing, in this case there would have been a wooden door at the one end on the original model. I have replaced the missing door with a brass etched gate (I recall this came with the Ainsty cemetery gateway)
Gate added and the building primed with Halfords car paint primer.
At Partizan I collected a base for it from Martin at Warbases to make a backyard, inspired by one made by Rob Rowell I added an Anyscale Models wall section which I had in stock and Wills cobblestone piece.
To be continued............

  3. What a difference the paint and gate makes. I used to have a fairly good supply of used model rail buildings at a hobby shop 30 miles from me, but as seems the way of such gems, it eventually had to close its doors to the public.
