4mm Scale Corfe Castle Station Building
I have a small model shop offering 4mm scale card kit buildings. Recently, I started to offer assembled models, hand built from the kits.
A customer contacted me interested in buying a built up model of Corfe Castle station building, if one was available from me. Well, currently it is not available but after discussion we came to an agreement that I would design a kit of the building for inclusion in my catalogue and supply him an assembled model. This is my next project and is expected to take a couple of months to complete.
The card kits require paper, grey board, acetate and wire to build a model. The assembled model for this project will use 3D plastic printed parts for some details.
I doubt the card kit will generate many sales because it is a unique building for a specific location, unlike my other models that lend themselves to multiple localities. However, I have a cunning plan that might make it more marketable.
This posting is the first of a series that will cover the development of the kit and build of the model.
I have a 2mm scale plan of the building so, the first job is to scan this and enlarge it to 4mm scale.
To Part 2.
