This time I built a crossing shanty for my friends planed Steam Loco Museum - see also my billbord thread. He asked for a ticket kiosk and I think that this shanty gives a good shelter. This crossing shanty is a laser kit made by Mounteneer Precision Products that I have given a few...

nkp174, looks very good and I'm sure you will have good success also when a few parts aren't good enough for you wishes for quality. Do I see right? Truss rods are not equipped with turnbuckles? Can I help you with a set of turnbuckles? Look for my PM. Bernhard

Because I should have objections? I think that it is a great compliment when a thead shall be moved to The Academy. Thanks for this nomination, PWRR-2207. But let the post here in Scratchin' & Bashin' until February. Than I think that I have made a few shots where billboards will be set to...

Making old time wood billboards – a step by step description For this description I have drawn this sketch that you can print and change to your designated size. So it could be a small help if you will like to build your own billboards - click in drawings for enlarging. I worked with...

Chris, all what I use for making small eye bolts ore shakles are one or two different fine flat pliers, no others, no jig. I know also that especially clevises are very small different in size because I must work from two opposite ends. In this reason I must sort shakles everytime when I must...

Steve, a very excellent work and this as first model. Kurt's technique is going to publicity - Congratulation for such unique models !!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Bernhard

Russ, sorry for late answer. I hope that most of detailing but especially the wood texture will be visible after coloring. The wood will get a coating by very thin lacquere so that the wood structure must be visible after. The many metal parts get a thin colour and than I attempt to add a...

Sorry, time before christmas was very busy and I did not find time enough for writing a tutorial. But description will follow; pictures are saved already and the text is in preparation. Nevertheless I finished my modern billboard yesterday ... ... that I built from brass profiles. Squared...

Kurt, a very good looking building !!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: The planks around the walls, shingles and all other details are really excellent. Congratulation again! I think we all would like to see more of the instaltation on your layout. Bernhard

@ nkp174, I'm looking forward to see the progress of your new models. The start looks great and I hope for fine models. But why do you not work with wood? This scale and these old time models will give an extra fine touch with a texture like original wood cars, I think. I love this and I...

Kevin, nice idea for a HO/HOn3 track plan and good pictures for raelization. Wish succes and hope for more pictures in progress. Bernhard

Kurt, a really excellent building complex !!! And the base is cardboard; an idea that I never would use for own buildings - before!!! Wish you good success for next steps !!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Bernhard

Wayne, I'm surprised each time seeing your modified and rebuilt locos. What for ideas and I must say what for courage starting such modifications. I think that I should modify one or other engine but I preffer to build a new car or an other model. I have a few small brass models but I delay...

Thanks Hello, thanks to all for your nice comments. Yes, I will write a step by step description in next days when I build four or five more billboards with a few different pictures. Write a pm if anyone will be interested to get such a small model. I have planed also a more modern...

In last days I built first part of small buildings and equipment for a planed (model) railroad museum on a few modules owned by friends that is focused to steam engines and steam loco facilities. This billboard is built without following an original but I attempt to build after a...

Wayne, steel constuctions per excellance again! Congratulation!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: Nice to see such fine model constructions which give new ideas and incitation for own models. Bernhard

Thanks again for yor interest and compliments. @nkp174, the special queenposts wait already for their use, but this will be one of later steps. Before I must arrange body bolsters in connection with couplers for right body high. And after I must build five complete brakes wich will need a good...

Adding first details What I must do is the stiffening of side walls with posts so that I can work after on underbody details without damaging of walls. To do this I must add to the two newer models are a few additions on underside, four cross beams for queen posts and stiffener beams at...

Thanks! Hello to all, thank you very much for all your friendly comments, thank you especially also to EzDays for idea moving this tread into the Academy. I can say that I like to build so fine and so small as I can do it and with each new attempt I try to model better than before. But I...
