Another new (old) structure on the California Southern
Author: MrMRL

Just continuing the construction blitz on the HO scale California Southern layout with a brand new building mashed together with parts from both the Walthers Red Wing Flour Mill and it's background counterpart Centennial Mills. This is another background structure, this time built askew to match the angle of a street along one side. A few of the window and door arrangements were modified with styrene inserts to help blend the major wall sections together. Once assembled, the building was weathered with a sampling of AIM Products alcohol weathering washes.

In case anyone missed it, check out my post from a couple weeks back to see some of the other structures already in place.

Gee, you don't spose they actually MAKE SOMETHING THERE?? Well, even if it's an espresso stand/storage unit now, it's a beautiful industrial edifice. Thanks for showing--almost makes a body want to get back into modeling. Kurt.

FYI. American Hardware Supply is not served by rail. Whats left of the old spur is near the street, the rest covered when the track was recurved to accommidate 70' LPG tanks for the CalGas off load.

Those who can, do. Those who can't complain. Maybe this gentleman can post some pictures of his work and show us how it is done.

It's actually tougher to correct model a prototype, but that being said, there's some nice
freelancing going on.
