I thought it would be fun to do 1 structure in 2 scales at the same time , see what the differences are and at the same time learn what I can do to improve building in both scales using those differences and hopefully your comments.
2 scales , 2 different sized boxes.

The N-scale parts. Tichy windows, less cast white-metal parts, and of course much smaller.

Paint colors Pollyscale New Gravel Gray and Pollyscale Weyerhauser Green. This is where the HO build differs from the N-scale one for the first time. While I would call the H0 walls painted ( not a wet paint cover, but also not drybrushed ) the N-scale has to be drybrushed to get the weathered paint effect, and even then it's hard to not cover the N-scale walls.

You can clearly see that even though drybrushed the N-scale paint is more monotonous then the H0 scale paint job.

Sweet!
Very nice. Very interesting concept to do both scales at the same time in a side by side build thread. You know I'll be following along. Thanks for sharing! :D
Very interesting.....I'll be looking in. :)
Hi Jan:
I will also be following alng with this build.
Karl
Me to Jan.
Don't believe I have ever seen this done before.
Cheers, Mark.
Novel idea....glad you thought it up.....I'll definitely be following.
Thank you gentlemen, glad to have you along , please don't hesitate to criticize or give me pointers especially when you think I should do the H0 kit in a different way, N-scale is less emphasis on the details so I am a little scared I will do the H0 kit too similar to the N-scale kit , where more detailing should be required.
Spray can primer white for all the trims , cornerposts , windows and doors.

An emery board to just very lightly sand the back of the printed signs, do this before you cut them.

Instead of putting glue on the sign I put glue on the wall , this was easy because the piece to be glued was bordered by the ends of the wood and exactly between the lines on the clapboard.

Some more signs, put glue to the signs and then stuck them on. The H0 kit has a dry transfer , somewhat easier to install then the glued signs, but maybe looks a bit too new.

Jan
Great idea for a build thread - this will be very interesting - I will be following along.
Jan,
Very neat idea, and I'm following along with the others.
Tom ;D
Looking good, Jan.
I agree - the red and white sign looks a lot better than the white and black one. The red colour seems to have a more aged look too. You could maybe rub some of the dry transfer off to help age it?I think maybe that font with the lower case 'i's is a bit more modern too.
Cheers, Mark.
Jan, take the N signs and have them copied at 184% then you can use on the HO kit.
and your right the red looks better by far.
rich
Janbouli I want to like the Red signs better but unfortunately i like the clear sign better. Good build.
Hi Jan:
Looks great so far. Would you like to see my Mooney's Plumbing that isn't the kit? It's scratch built.

Tomorrow more of the N-scale structure, while doing the above the Tichy windows and doors were drying.

Press the wall onto the window and then paste with Micro Kristal Klear, this will hold the window in place and when dry leave a clear glass window.

All the walls done, there are differences in the 2 kits , I can't say I like one better then the other. Of course the detailing in the H0 windows and doors is better but one will only notice this from close by , from a scale 100 feet distance both will look good.

I am just speechless Jan.....great modeling .... as usual.
Thank you Donato , really appreciate the compliment.
Nice job Jan! I particularly like your application of the "painted on" sign on the gray wall. Fun idea.
In my switching to HO, I haven't found a tremendous difference in the assembly process.

Thanks John. I do find the H0 parts easier to put together, peel and stick windows in H0 have just a little more beef to the sides to place them easier , things like that. Weathering in H0 is also just that trickle easier , and mistakes with a brush or glue or anything like that are not immediately HUGE mistakes.
Its getting better each day as you add to the structures.
Jan,
Great thread and progress. I love the signs. They look like they've been on for years. Thanks for sharing.
Tom ;D
Jan,
What a great concept to build HO and N scale versions of the same kit side by side! And you are doing great job executing it. I am guessing at least HO kit is older one unless Art has changed his mind and restarted supplying dry transfers with it. I have a version where in the manual it says people had issues applying dry transfer so it is no longer included. I see you had no trouble at all.
Vilius
Thanks Martin , Tom, Vilius , the dry-transfer was easy to apply , I just did what I always do with dry-transfers, take a pencil and color the back side with a bit of pressure, I use a soft pencil to do this , doesn't rip or break the dry-transfer and it's easy to see if you've done the whole thing.
Assembling the walls , I keep them square by using a tray and magnets.

Now for the water tower, The boards are a one piece laser cut with peel and stick. First you gently break all the boards along the lasercut lines , as you can see in the photo's I just bent them over a sharp edge until they snapped , watching out to not break the transfer tape.

Hi Jan:
Great job sofar. I'm not sure I could do this. I'd probably have all the parts mixed up. I'm lucky I can build one at a time. Keep up the great work.
Karl
Wow. You're really making a lot of progress and doing a wonderful job on both builds. These are going to look super! Thanks for taking the time to share so many photo's! :D
Jan - Here is my take on Mooney's. Entered it in the Lancaster EXPO but didn't get any action. Jim
Whoops missed the front.
Thank you all for the compliments , means a lot to me, and Jim thank you for the photo's , you set a high bar for me.
Karl ,did you find the photo's of your scratchbuilt Mooneys? I'm sure everyone would like to see them.
Hi Jan:
The diorama looks just great. Here's my Mooney's Plumbing. I used a structure off of the Franklin and South Manchester RR. It is scratch built.

Thanks Karl, lots of ideas for weathering and details there. The rock foundation is great as are the shingles, oh , and everything in between ;)
Nicely build, Janbouli

Merci beaucoup Eric.
Hi Jan:
Thanks glad you enjoyed it.

To weather the roofs I used a product I have only just acquired, they are textured paints from Citadel from their Technical series. These are mainly used by Wargamers.

First a brush of Typhus Corrosion , I know , I don't really like the names of some of their paints , but that's what they are.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fmooney%2Fmoon51.jpg&hash=04cf473109b62ebb86ea74797dc5b3ad7833bc91)
Then a dry brush of Agrellan Earth , I think the texture of the paints makes them look just a little different to what we are used to.

And the N-scale roof. It's a lot smaller , and from close up shows less texture because I brushed off some of the texture that was to thick for scale.

Then a sort of wash with the Nihilahk Oxide, I forgot to take a good photo , but if you look close you can see it on the left N-scale structure, the tarpaper roof I finished with a dry brush of Nurgles Rot. I then glued on the dormers.

And installed them to the H0 water tank. This didn't work out for the N-scale tank, more on that later.

A nice job Jan. I built this kit a few years ago. It is a nice little structure and I think it is one of BM's best.
Keep up the good work.
Mike ;)
Thanks Mike, good to see you here again, it's been a while hasn't it. Looking forward to March , I will be at Ontraxs on Friday.
Wow Janbouli what a great build.

Yes I have just got the details from Ontraxs - it looks to be a great show with the advertised layouts. The following weekend we have been invited to the London Festival of Model Railways at Alexandra Palace, London. So a busy few days.
Once again your models are great, looking forward to the final results...
Mike :D
hopefully you all will take pictures. ;D ;D ;D

I'm sure I will, a few hundred each year at Ontraxs. I even have a newspaper article with a photo of me taking photo's at Ontraxs ;D
I'm the one with the orange hood on my jacket.

On with Mooneys
This is the N-scale watertank, I used sewing thread to make the bands, everything else would be too thick.

Both watertanks to compare.

The roof of the H0 office after weathering with Citadel Technical paints.

The holes in the roofs are a bit too big for the chimneys so i hold them up like this until the glue sets.

Another roof , and deck installed.

The loading docks compared, only difference is the size.

Somehow, a Dutchman wearing orange isn't an unusual site ;-)

Nope, I have a lot of orange clothes, most of us do.
Alas , no Dutch supporters at European Championships this year , our team did not qualify. So no Orange Sea at the football stadiums.

Looks great Jan...I especially like the roof. Congrats on your new HO layout. ;)
I love that layout you were photographing. I've studied many pics of it - Troels Kirk is one of my favorites and that one is, to say the least, inspired by his work.
John
Jan,
I also like the roof look and I'm enjoying following this thread.
Tom ;D
Janbouli I am glad that you all will be taking pictures. Your layout is going to be a super one.
Great progress Jan..... 8)
Thank you all for the compliments , it is really motivational.

Martin Wellberg is a friend of Troels and i am glad to say also one of my Dutch railroad friends. Yes Troels inspired him , but now Martin is taking his modeling to a next level. He was already a master in grass and tree scenery , now he is working on new weathering skills.

I'm really enjoying the thread Jan. Great work! Oh and I also have been watching Troels' work - he is a great artist.
Jan,
Troels is definitely an artist and certainly has inspired many and has quite the following among modelers.
Is the tank car your or Martin's. Very nice work either way.
Tom ;D

The tank car is Martin's , I think this is On3 , that level of weathering/modeling is simply not possible in N-scale.
