Several prototypes were constructed of the Nissen Hut before the final design was selected .
The Trapezoid design was a failed prototype rejected in favour of the more familiar semi circular design
Don't forget to paint it in a prototype and not an operational scheme.
;)
looking for reference photos of other buildings in Raspberry Ripple
Give the time period wouldn't you want P on the side?
:angel:
good catch will widen my research to cover that period make sure I get lots of references with peas in them
The underside ought to be painted yellow for a prototype................. ;D
Red oxide primer with a selection of colour swatches on the side from
which the Ministry can choose the production colour.
;D
It's always puzzled me why the UK government bought huts from a country the UK was at war with.
Why didn't they use Morris or Austin Huts instead?

Are you not of the body?
