Our backstreet garage is a small yet beautifully detailed, atmospheric & versatile OO gauge / 1:76 scale garage building. Based on a real life prototype up in Liverpool, the building features heavily weathered, stretcher bond brickwork (red brick & painted white finishes included) with wooden concertina sliding doors, corrugated iron roof, glazed windows & downspouts. There's also a choice of signage to add addition detail where required as well as a fully detailed interior walls & floor with inspection pit & oil stains etc.
This is a very straightforward kit to build but does contain a few small parts (namely the windows) which you will need tweezers and a steady hand for. Alternatively, there are extra blanks included to mimic boarded up windows should you wish to go down the more derelict route.
The kit is supplied with laser-cut parts for ease of assembly and comes with fully weathered paper wraps and roofing, with no additional painting or weathering required on the main components for a "Realistically Better" finish straight from the pack.
The window & doors are supplied laser-cut from our eco-friendly laserboard and are packed with detail including engraved planks etc. These will require painting with acrylic paints prior to assembly or colouring with suitable markers. We used a Plastikote matt black for our test build which we then dry brushed with white, red, blue & grey artists acrylics for a more aged look.
The building consists of the main garage and a matching office/facilities building which can be positioned either side of the main building or used separately.
There's also plenty of scope for customisation too... The doors can be posed open, closed or anywhere in between.
