Starting with the idea, of building a model of  the London Underground, is quite daunting. Until I visited London for a holiday and saw Leslie Green’s commission 1903 tube stations up close.

 While the stations were essentially built as a full size  kits over a existing building façade, no two were identical. A metal frameworks, clade with ox blood tiles and large gold serif lettering.

 

My design began a little different to Mr Green. 
I began with a computer word program, saving pictures of windows, doors,   and logos, pasting  over scanned red brickwork, then saving  it as a PDF  This allows me to print it at any size I would require. I then glued it all to a sheet of cardboard . This was my first step toward my goal.
