Sunday Showcase 3/17/13 ST. Patricks Day

Thanks for starting this off. A very nice building. Are those upside down soda cans?

Maybe you can change it to a Guinness factory.

Cream Soda!   . They look good through the front windows.

Very nice.

Patrick,

Thanks for starting off.

Steve ,

Great work.

Here are the pictures of the completed lumber mill, prior to bringing in any lumber or rail cars.

Patrick, very well done building!  

Steve, you've outdone yourself with that boxcar!  Very accurate looking rust and worn paint color!

Thanks Jeff. I have advanced to applying some oil paints now for the door scrapes and rust...

Steve, are you just dabbing the oil paint on to get the texture or mixing it with something else before application? Looks incredibly real.

Steve, your weathering is simply the best.  You have a gift for making things look neglected without overdoing it.  Your cars and scenery look just right for the northeast climate.

Your personal record is awarded ten merits.

As usual the work in the Sunday Showcase is great. I have been working on a Sugar Beet area on my layout for the last year or so and here are some pics of the boiler/lime kiln building...cant wait to finish them all so i can get them planted on the layout.

the boiler with the washroom building.  i am currently working on the refinery shown in the back as a prototype mockup.

Here a few Pics of my Santa Fe's running through the TMB club Layout going up hill and waiting in town for the west bound passenger train to clear the trck ahead

Steve, your weathering of freight cars and locomotives is just too wicked! Your layout detailing is awesome. I enjoyed the magazine article about your layout also. Keep up the GREAT work. Your level of craftsmanship is most extreme.

Cobrabob.

This is an awesome project!  Are you the one that had these all drawn up and cut out with poster board last year?I reconize the one in the middle. You ve come a long way and much worth it.

Just beautiful.

Steve,

Phanominal  as usual!

Graz,

the same -  very intricate detail. Nice.

LI - Really looking good.

Installation of the first of two bridge abutments.  

Hello all,

It's been a long time since i posted anything here.  This might have something to do with the fact that i haven't really built anything in over a year.   But the bug is back, and this is the first kit i've built in about 16 months. 

It's from Whiteground Models and it's copyrighted 1985.  I have a few Whiteground kits, but they are mostly plaster fronts.  I picked this kit to do first because i thought it was the one i was least likely to enjoy making.  I figured if i could have fun building this one, i would really enjoy the next.  I'm happy to report that this kit was a lot of fun, and it feels great to be modeling again. 

The kit itself was kind of dated, so i added a lot of stuff like upgraded doors and windows.  Anyway, I hope you like it.

As always, thanks for looking.

Nick

Working around my bridge area .

Another classic showcase !!

Thanks for starting it off, St. Patrick.

Nick, good to see you back buddy !

Wow Guys,

Just some outstanding work again this week.  Excellent craftsmanship!

I have been working on a new prototype kit, a radio station, building and tower.

Here are some photos.

Nick....This is so cool! I am currently working on a flat with and old steel mill theme to is and the is going to be a great model to add to it. It is the missing piece that will fit right in between the 2 Clever card stock (on foam core bd.) kits. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Patrick, you have a great memory it was indeed the same project.  I am about 2/3rds done with the big refinery.  It took some extra time to mock it all up but it has really helped as i build it especially since all the buildings tie together thru hallways or lifts.  I am trying to get done with the refinery before nice weather sets in cause i usually shift over and my car restorations get most of my time....what a great problem to have!!

Great looking projects everyone! Here on the Bellevue and Schenectady RR we catch engine 1956 passing a farm heading back to Schenectady after dropping off empties to the locals.

Looking good guys.

Wish I had anything to add but I'm in hold what you got mode for the time being.

Stubbygda that is incredible. I would love it if you would update your progress on your origional thread and explain how you constructed this masterpiece.

Alan the sawmill looks really nice.

very nice this week.  ill post up some scenery shots of my pond tonight
