That's a nice start to the warehouse Dave. I got what I think is a final drawing for the block portion of my Freight House. I'll probably go over it 10-20 more times before I'm sure of it, but in the meantime I need to find a way to simulate the cement block.Jason
You know...I do have a laser at home Joe
Are you using preprinted cardstock textures or doing it from scratch?
Nice warehouse, Dave. Really captures it from what I've seen of the photos of the real thing.The only thing slightly photo worthy I've done all week is ballasting the tracks around the Scheissewasser Brewery complex.Now to figure out how to make these building look more like a brewery.Mostly I've been tinkering with DCC settings and tuning trackwork, plus soldering in a few more feeders into the yard for smoother ops.some logos and tanks
Duly noted Joe. Of course, I owe you enough as it is. I guess I'd like to ask you, and anyone else with experience, if wood is really a good way to go. This building is over 10" long and I know that warping can be an issue with wood structures. I'm definitely down with making all the vector drawings and having this cut for me, but I gotta know what I'm getting into. I probably only have one shot at getting this done before the convention.I'll finish the drawings and put together what all is needed and I'll just lay it all out for those who know more about the process.Thanks,Jason
Joe,What does a laser like the one you use go for these days in upfront and operating costs? Best wishes, Dave
Vincent,Sound like you got the package with the step risers. Now we need to see those in action! I am curious whether the top step bracket will be usable, as it is such a small piece. /snip
Bryan,The plan was always to strip and repaint. I think you actually sent to the decal set a while ago that I'll be using. That said, do you think I coul dget away with stripping the decals and just redoing those?
