Next project is the GC Laser Country Livestock Auction Building but in O scale. A very interesting building with construction nicely done especially with the roofs removed. Going to be fun....the posts are 3, 2x6 built up so as to have the 2x6 trusses centered on the post.Just beginning, need to do make 12 Trusses to start. The truss pictures is a prototype which will be witewashed for color and scribed for texture. The top picture isn't mine, just a representation of the kit.

In order to clean up the clutter on the first page of the Craftsman's Corner we have decided to group the different sticky threads in one sticky with a link in that thread to locate the original thread.
Here is the thread:
Modeling information and techniques.
and a link to it:

Hi all
please bear with me as this is my first post.
I have been constructing Brett's Sierra West Main Street kit and am looking for comments on the siding and roofing colors I have used.
I haven't seen a tar paper or shingle roof in the "flesh" so have no idea of actual colors.
I have used a technique similar to Brett for the "peeling' paint siding. I use small foam rubber squares )instead of the terry toweling) and dip the flat edge in to paint placed on a flat tray and then dab most of it off before applying to the siding. Sort of like dry brushing with a piece of foam, followed by a light wirebrushing.
All comments are welcome , good and bad.
Please feel free to post your own pictures so that I can compare.
look forward to you comments.
cheers
Dave

Hello from a lurker,
I have an old Guts Gravel and Glory 10 stamp Mill that I want to complete. My kit has no drawing or exploded view, only a 1 page text of instructions. It would help greatly if there was a drawing , photo or exploded view of the finished model.Does anyone have that or a photo of a completed model?

Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I have posted any building threads. I did not post this one from the start of the project because I did not intend it to become "this involved." The long rear stone section is a stretched version of the Hermanson Woolen Mill. At the right end of Hermanson is a wood section from a South River Modelwork Wrisley Papers kit. The brick section on the left end (not yet finished and attached) is a South River Blackstone Paper kit. The Blackstone was just a partially constructed kit I just purchased on Ebay. It is being repainted, roof added, tower finished and I've ordered the windows for it.
In the first photo on the far right is a NE Brownstone culvert and sitting on it is the top section from a South River Whitinsville Spinning Ring kit. These will attach at the right end the the mill, below grade of the stone mill's first floor.
This complex has the various building sections situated at slightly differing elevations.
I'll post more comments and photos on the build as it progresses including scenery and the area it will be installed in.
Mike

There is some really impressive modeling on this site, and it seems like a really nice community as well.

I'm hoping someone here remembers a train/rr chat site back in Oct-2000, looking for a member using "mongoose" as a username. At that time, he was with the FRA and living in Columbus, Ohio. Heard he moved to either PA or Md but still with FRA.
The site was changing to a "paid subscription" and that's when I decided to end it.
