From a youtube video. This is the sign out front:


So it has been rebuilt many times, but oh well I just liked the building. Don't even have a place for it.

It is very rustic looking. Perfect for some quaint narrow-gauge layout.

A very interesting and interesting looking building, beautifully modeled.

I recognize the barn door hangers on the far right as being from the LaBelle boxcar hardware set... Very cool! I love the board texture!

Chris, what are you using for the windows?  Are they printed separately or are they molded?

Chris, your topic was titled “What am I doing wrong here?”.   

I just gotta say, “Absolutely nothing” … what a magnificent outcome!

They are Grandt Line windows, but some are cut apart and rearanged. After the first coat of primer the windows had no grain. So I scraped them with a razor saw. Nothing 3D here so far.

That's the place- for some reason I was thinking Tichy.

Agree that the structure looks phenomenal.

I am trying to think of a way to print those flat, but still be well supported.  I think wafer walls are the trick instead of round supports.  I am having good luck with my N scale trucks this way.

Using them on windows would allow me to shave them off easily before curing, and after cure, lightly sand them on a horizontal belt sander that I have.  I am going to be doing some PRR towers soon and I want to test this method, based on how well my icehouse came out.  I used leftover windows from a plastic structure I had on that one, but still had to shave the opnengs to insert them from the inside (no outside trim).

This is how I do windows:


Just tilt them back around 23 degrees. Use .05mm layers so there is no sagging. Think I drew the thin parts up at .015" wide.

If I would have 3D printed the windows for this shed. I would have made the just like the proto instead of close enough.

Just a base coat, but now you can start to see what all is going on.





Painted the whole thing with tan camo spray paint. Gave it a wash with Tamiya panel line accent and some antique white dry brushing. And stippled on the barn red color. Just a base. Will go in and detail paint each board so they don't all blend in.

Hi Chris,

Is the base structure 3D printed?

Thanks,
Donnell
