The underground station entrance. My first attempt at scratch building was the above ground ticket hall for the Great Central underground station. The basic structure uses foam board walls, and the Mind The Gap papers come with some station elements that I could use. I also used bits of another free downloadable station kit (Walford East Station of Eastenders fame) from Kingsway Models. It's ok ... I'm not very happy with it and will probably redesign it at some future point. For now, it provides a bit of a focal feature that ties the above ground layout with the underground tube platforms. Theres no roof so you can see the ticket hall, the ticket machines and the way through to the platforms. The Kingsway kit in particular is a bit basic, which is one of the reasons I'm not happy with the end result.
