Not bad. But unfortunately, nothing more to see from the beautiful wood construction. And it was really very nice!
Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - nkp_174 - 03-02-2014
That building needs a light or two! That way, the awesome framing will be on display.

Bernhard: I saved my jig for the rafters and since it came out so cool I am probably going to build a house under construction somewhere. This model will sit on the edge of a small Free-mo/ Route 87 module and I am keeping the door open so people can see inside.
NKP: I just ordered some pre wired micro chip LED's I am not very good with electronics, so it will be a challenge, but I think it will be well worth it to show off the interior.

The frame work was the reason that I have built an unfinished museum loco shed a few years ago.

Reinhard: Thank you for your kind words.
I was able to get a better shot of the interior.

Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - mountaingoatgreg - 03-05-2014
I am continuing to work on the exterior detailing of Ludgren Equipment Company machine shop. I was able to add a few weeds, brush and get things in a more final location.

Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - Steve - 03-23-2014
Tremendous effort and results!
The framing and details are excellent. I don't do interiors, but I can certainly see how they add a whole new dimension to models. Great work!!!!
Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - mountaingoatgreg - 04-18-2014
Steve: Thank you for the kind words, I seem to have become slightly obsessed with super detailing the interior of buildings. This building and my Shell gas station are being placed on a Mini-Mo that will also serve as a display diorama.
Here are a few more shots of the new details.

Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - MasonJar - 04-18-2014
Wow! That's impressive! Really needs to be entered in a competition, or at least send some photos to MR, Walthers, or MRH.
Fantastic!

Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - Rscott417 - 04-18-2014
You did a great job with this, unbelievable details.
Re: Ludgren Equipment Scratchbuild - mountaingoatgreg - 04-18-2014
Andrew: When I started I kind of had the idea of entering it in an NMRA contest, only problem is that there are not any meets in my area anytime soon. There is a train show coming up soon that I plan on having it on display. Once I get it complete I plan on using it as a photo diorama, so it may end up in a magazine..someday
Rscott: Thank you for your kind words.
