Ok while looking for structures for the Port Lavender Terminal Railroad , I ran across the Clever Models website. There were lotd of reallly cool designs, and have been sold as complete kits. Now they have a lot of stuff for download, so i risked $11 and bought the Peach cannery as a download. im planning on using the structure as a small regional brewery. I printed this out on cardstock from Walmart, and the only tools need were a steel straightedge, some Xacto Knives, some markers for edgework, and some glue. I started cutting this morning and got this far this evening…

Nice work Bart! Those things look pretty darn good

#3

I’ll have to check that out. The Salida & Western could use a few buildings.

#4

Cool!

#5

Very nice. What format do they supply the print files in? Wondering if they could be scaled.

#6

Pdfs…so of course where theres a will…theres a way…

#7

True - But it would loose some quality when enlarged. Maybe I should write to them. The already do O so stepping up to 1:24 would be easy.

#8

I bit the bullet and ordered four different buildings, 2 of which are flats…

Product: O Scale Royal ImportsFlat

Product: O Scale Wood Warehouse Flat

Product: O Scale Plant #2

Product: O Scale Jefferson Ice Co.

#9

Ive got plant no2 on disc as well…have been eyeballing the flats too. Theres also a disk that has all sorts of textures and doors and windows and such as well…

So some progress has been made, the last three walls were assembled…

Heres a shot of the extra bracing I installed inside to keep the three walls square…

Heres the structure in the position I originally intended…Im not sure if it will go here or not…

I kinda like it how it stands with that tower…location of your choice but I like the water tower
Just my thought’s

#13

Bart?? As much as I hate to, I have to agree with the kid… I think it looks much better with the tank tower…

#14

Yeah…its gonna get a tank…but one with a roof on it…cant have Rooster Poop in the final product…or can we? rooster Poop Ale? Hmmmmmmmm?

Now, that could leave a FOWL taste in your mouth..... :)

So after spending a couple hours fabricating that loading dock door…I had a better idea. Its hard to model a convincing loading dock scene, with the door shut…so I cut the door out and installed a shadowbox made from black cardstock…

Use part of the door and some cardstock textures to pull off the illusion…

#17

neat idea, bart…

#18

very convincing Bart. Really looking good

#19

Great idea. If you can find a few props for clutter it will be even better :slight_smile:

#20

It’s hard to model a convincing loading dock scene without the loading dock, too, Bart. :smiley:
