Schwarz Foundry - 2019 Challenge Build - aka FSM Sewall's Foundry

[S&S RR]

Lots of machine tools to add to the shed and shop buildings - this is a flash picture to show the interiors with the first machines. The flash really messes up the exterior colors. I will be adding LED lighting inside the two open structures and on the outside of the buildings with gooseneck lights.

[S&S RR]

Yes - I need to trim the stairs casting before it is glued in place.

Very nicely done John.

[Oldguy]

That is going to be a great scene.

[Janbouli]

Great scene John , your layout is just amazing, with all of those fantastic scenes.

[Opa George]

Agreed, this is a great scene, John. The concrete work patio is genius, and I hope you don't mind that I plan to borrow the idea for later. It is a really distinctive change from the standard earth based work area.  I am already envisioning the multitude of mini-scenes that can be created with it.

Very nicely done John.

Thank you - we have a lot of detail work to do to make it come alive.

[S&S RR]

That is going to be a great scene.

Bob


Thank you - I try to make each one of my builds a little different from the out of the box kit builds. Sometimes it just happens naturally to make the kit fit the area on the layout.

Thanks you for the kind words - the concrete castings are from FSM and George did a few scenes using them on the F&SM. Jimmy should be able to help out with castings.  Are you listening Jimmy?

[S&S RR]

I made some progress on the detailing of this build and took some progress to evaluate my next moves.  Here are a few pictures to show where I'm at on it.
