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

[S&S RR]

The window openings have all been fitted - I just need to do some work on the overall dimensions of the walls themselves. A little work with a sanding block. The next step will be to design and build the interior frame for each structure.

[S&S RR]

I also finished applying the pan pastel to the rest of the main structure both inside and out.  I now have to go over it with the eraser to make the darker stones pop out.

I'm going to make an exception to the three builds at a time to add a fourth for the RAYMO challenge this year. It will be the Monster Modelworks Brick Yard Tower.


The build thread can be found here: http://modelersforum.com/kit-building/monster-modelworks-yard-tower-second-annual-raymo-challenge-2018/msg85268/#msg85268

Here are a couple pictures of the tower from Monster Modelworks website. I will be adding a detailed interior.  Over the next couple of days I will collecting all the pieces that I have stored in various yet to be determined places.

The rest of this build will be on the special challenge build thread.  I will only include the final pictures of the structure on the layout here on my usual build thread.

I had never heard of Monster Modelworks before. Just checked out their web site. That's a nice kit -- beautiful brickwork. All that from just laser-etched wood?

John,

You always do really nice work.  I have enjoyed following your layout progress.

Keep it up!

Great progress John!

Nice progress. The color is grey as in the previous photos?  I ask because the last 2 photos the color looks silver to me (flash maybe?)

I really like the Monster Modelworks products. It is replacing hydrocal and resin for most of my new scratch building stone and brick projects. I have a huge mine project in my future with numerous stone and brick structures where I plan to use Jimmy's wall sections.

Great progress John!
