Superior & Seattle Railroad Build (Volume 2) Started 2/25/17

[S&S RR]

A new mold for the boiler house chimney and locomotive pits is also curing on the workbench.

I squeezed the plastic cup that was holding the liquid mold material to tight and broke it.  Can you tell these molds got poured in a hurry. A bit messy but we recovered and didn't waste the material.

I also made some progress on the Mackenzie build today.  Added the posts and lower roof cards.  You can never have too many weights within reach on your workbench.

And finally, tonight a few progress pictures on my Isaac's Coal build.  When I detail a structure I add the weathering and details in layers.  In- between each layer I take pictures and then mark them up to get ready for the next layer.  It's  just how I do it.  The pictures I'm sharing tonight are after about 4 layers of detailing. I will do one more round of detailing while this model is on my workbench and then it will be mounted on the layout for the final round of detailing to blend it into the scene.


When I mark-up the pictures I'm looking for things that are to shinny, too light or dark in color, look out of place, or unrealistic etc.

That is going to be a great looking engine facility.
