Title: Paff Brewery, N Scale
Post by: tommot on March 23, 2016, 08:59:04 PM
Hello Everyone

This is a brewery I built based on an E L MOORE design. Everything is scratch built except the doors and windows. I even built the barrels and kegs on the dock. My space limits my to N Scale so I am very jealous of all the HO Scale kits available. Most of the structures I see in HO that I like I need to recreate them in N scale. I have a couple o dozen structures I built, FOS, FSM and bar mills. AS long as the criticism isn't too bad, I'll post some more pictures.

Tom, are you nutz???? Criticism? are you serious.  You do great work on a scale that is hard to make look good.  I model HO and On30 and I have trouble getting my stuff to look halfway decent.


More photos, Please.

Nice work, especially the dock details. I think the white of the windows/doors looks a bit too bright compared to the weathering on the rest of the building, but it's probably the camera flash making it look that way.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. And good point Jeff. I do 99% of my weathering before assembly and a little afterwards. I usually depend on the light coat of paint on the windows and doors to provide the weathering for them. I should have done some weathering on the doors and windows. Rest assured that will be taken care of as soon as I get home.

Yep. You won't get criticised for work like that.  Personally I'm not a fan of N scale but your model doesn't "look" N scale to me. That's meant to be a compliment I! :)
