FAQ – Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions – 7mm Sylfaen Hut (Resin, Glazed)

What scale is the Sylfaen Hut model?

The Sylfaen Hut is produced in 7mm to the foot, which corresponds to 1:43.5 scale. It’s ideal for O gauge layouts and rural halt scenes.

What is the model made from?

The hut is cast in high-quality resin. This allows for crisp, intricate detailing while keeping the model relatively lightweight, though it should be handled gently due to the nature of resin.

Does the model come painted?

No, the Sylfaen Hut is supplied unprimed and unpainted. The photographs shown are of a painted example for reference only, so you can see how it might look once finished.

Does the model include glazing?

Yes, the hut features realistic glazing, adding depth and authenticity to the windows and making it particularly effective when lit from inside on a layout.

What are the dimensions of the Sylfaen Hut?

The approximate dimensions are:

• Length: 67mm
• Width: 50mm
• Height: 69mm

What type of layout is this hut suitable for?

The Sylfaen Hut is perfect for rural or lightly used lines where a simple halt is needed without the footprint of a full platform. It works well on branch lines, country stops, and small wayside scenes.

Will the model arrive ready to place on my layout?

The hut will arrive with all supports removed and the basic cleanup done, but it is unpainted and unprimed. You may wish to carry out some fine sanding and, of course, painting and weathering before placing it on your layout.

How is the model packaged for delivery?

The model is packaged with great care to help ensure it reaches you in the same condition as described. Extra protection is used to minimise movement and reduce the risk of transit damage.

Is the Sylfaen Hut a limited or rare item?

This is described as a rare and beautifully detailed model. If it suits your layout, it’s well worth securing one while available.

Can I contact you with questions before buying?

Yes, you are very welcome to get in touch if you have any questions or need more information about the Sylfaen Hut or its suitability for your layout.

Is the resin fragile?

Resin is inherently more delicate than some other materials, so gentle handling is important. Avoid dropping, twisting, or placing heavy objects on the model.

Why are there slight marks or rough areas on the model?

Support structures are used during the resin casting process. Every effort is made to remove support marks, but you may notice some faint areas that can benefit from light sanding before priming and painting.

What should I do if the model arrives damaged?

If there appears to be damage from transit, please take clear photos of the model and the packaging and contact us. While we can’t cover accidents after delivery, we will do our best to help with issues that occur during shipping.

What if I accidentally break a part after it arrives?

We can’t be responsible for accidents once the model is in use, but you can still contact us. If you send images of the damage, we’ll see if there’s any practical advice or assistance we can offer.

My hut seems slightly warped or uneven. Is this normal?

Minor variations can occur with resin items. Often, careful, gentle adjustment or mounting the hut on a flat base during installation will help. If you are concerned, please send photos so we can advise.

Do I need to clean the model before painting?

It’s good practice to give resin models a gentle wash in lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry fully. This helps remove any remaining residue and gives a better key for primer.

What tools are recommended for final cleanup?

For fine sanding and cleanup, use:

• Fine-grit sanding sticks or paper
• A small hobby file for tight areas
• A soft brush to remove dust before priming

How should I prime the Sylfaen Hut?

Use a primer suitable for resin miniatures or models. Apply in thin, even coats to avoid obscuring the intricate detail, allowing each coat to dry fully before proceeding.

What type of paint works best on this model?

Acrylic model paints are a popular choice for resin buildings, as they adhere well over primer and dry quickly. Enamels can also be used if you prefer, provided the surface has been properly primed.

Any tips for painting and weathering a rural halt hut?

For a realistic rural look, consider:

• Muted, slightly faded base colours for walls and roof
• Dry-brushing lighter tones to pick out raised details
• Subtle weathering with washes and powders to suggest age, soot, and grime

How can I protect the paintwork once finished?

After painting and weathering, you may wish to apply a clear matt or satin varnish suitable for models. This helps protect your work from handling and dust, especially if the hut will be moved around the layout.
