Rail Scale Models

[Janbouli]

This is the build of Rail Scale Models Branchline Coalhouse. A new manufacturer for me so I am starting with one of the smaller simpler structures to get to know how Steve's kits build .
I'll place all my Rail Scale Models builds in this thread.


The box.


Manual , contents list and a general manual how to work with lasercut kits. Very well done.


The contents, walls , lasercut doors , plastic glazing , roof material and even the bracing is provided.


There is a bracing diagram in the manual , I did some additional horizontal bracing , you can never have to much bracing.


Peel and stick doors , I like peel and stick in N-scale , makes life so much easier.


A wash of A&I , I did the extra bracing after I saw there was some slight warpage.

Jan,
Thanks for trying out my kits... and posting your progress here.  I can't wait to see how they come together for you, and get some of your feedback.
For those that see a resemblance in some of my N scale kits to those of Carolina Craftsman Kits, it is true, your eyes are not mistaken.  Jeff G of CCK and I have an arrangement that I am reproducing some of his kits into N scale.

Hope you enjoy these kits.
Best Regards,
Stephen Milley

Welcome to the forum Steve.....

Sprayed lightly with a dark green from rattle can, trim and corner posts done with a green artists marker. Installed the doors.



Putting walls together.


Tar paper on roof , stamping with paintbrush using the template provided in the kit. Also roughed up the bottom of the boards with a steel brush.


And did some weathering with powders.








Tomorrow I'll go on with the next kit from RSM

I like the color. In your first couple of pics, I thought it might be a tad dark. But with the weathering you did in the last photos, it lightened up nicely. Nice contrast to the usual fare one tends to see.

Thanks Vince , I agree , without the powders it would have been slightly too dark.
