Evening Projects: 20' Pup Trailers From CMW 30' Vans
I do believe this one has been done, but my reference escapes me. Nonetheless, the project is so simple it's easier to do it than find the missing reference!
We start with a standard 30' CMW van and use the side panels to scribe the sides and the top with a razor saw. The top is luckily the same ten feet as the side panels, offset, so we have natural joining lines to blend in the cut lines.
Can someone help me to interpret these pictures of a sawmill?
Hullo folks,
Recently I've been making various evergreen trees based on tutorials I found. I'm having fun with this, and was thinking of using my trees in a diorama, which led to me researching New York Central stuff in the Adirondacks. I've discovered an interesting website about the sawmill at Reynoldston NY but could do with some advice about what's likely to be going on here.
Mock up lumber yard
Mocked up where the lumber yard will be going and decided to add a little something fun. A sliding gate. Now please excuse the crudeness of the gate and the fence. This is just a mockup to see how it might look. Couldn't figure out how to upload a video to this site so here is a link to YouTube.

Building 3 final touches
Added some rain covers over the loading doors and then a little weathering....okay a LOT of weathering. Maybe a bit too much but I wanted the building to look like it had been there for many years. Through many years of rain, snow, hail, sunshine and winds. May have to come back and remove some of the powder.
How to Model Road Markings
This week I'm looking at how to model road markings. Really simple but they bring the road to life:

Wetterau Food Services Micro Layout
Introduction:
The Wetterau Food Services Micro Layout was completed in February of 2016. Layout planning and construction began in 2014. I am currently enjoying operations on the layout, and wanted to share the steps I followed in building this micro layout here on MRH. I have learned quite a bit in building it, and hope you will find it informative.

Decorative Shingles
I am finally finishing a kit of the tower at Quinnimont West Virginia in HO scale. This is not a good kit for various reasons and I have had to do an unreasonable amount of modifications and shimming and such to get this far.
But I just noticed the kit does not have the decorative shingles that are on the tower below the windows and in the gables on the roof. They are mentioned in the instructions but are not in the box. Note I am a bit meticulous in organizing and keeping track of my parts for laser cut kits so trust me they were not in the box.
Building 3 comes to life
Guys I don't want to sound braggadocios but I think this is one of the best structures I have built. It's a combination of photo laminating, sheet styrene and strip styrene. The sheets are actually 8 x 10 For Sale signs you can buy at your local big box store for 96 cents. Submitted for your approval.
