Background Buildings for Northern Division of the Santa Fe

Thanks Bob. I hadn't used it before but it works great in this application. Another advantage is it isn't crystal clear so it obscures things behind the windows.

Thanks Mike.

Here are some background building.  J.Dutton Warehouse was build for the new layout.  J Schall & Co. and J.K. Inabinet & Co. were reused from the old layout. All three were scratch build.

Howdy Mike,

Excellent work on the structures.  The construction and colors were first-class. They will fit well on any layout.

Have fun,
mike

Those 3d ers are great!

Good to see you here, Mike, and nice work on all the structures you've shown.  I have Micro Krystal Kleer, but I generally keep it away from the front of my layout.

Mike some really nice work!

 Hey thank Mike. I try to keep colors subdued looks more natural. That's the one plus to building a new layout you have plenty of finished structures to transplant.

Thanks Philip but those are not 3D printed. Build the old-fashioned way with strip wood and siding before I got the 3d printer.

Thanks James I didn't start using Micro Krystal Kleer until after getting the 3D printer. I found getting a flat surface to glue clear styrene to was a problem. I now make my own window and door casting. I print them laying flat so there are a lot of supports to clean off. Plastic casting don't have that problem. I can print 40 or 50 doors or windows for less than a dollars worth of resin. Because they are laying flat it usually only takes about 1 hour give or take.

Thanks Jerry.
