Looking real good Lynn.

Excellent work and interesting scenes.

Thanks Will, I've been working on the sawmill , very slow going, i'm looking forward to seeing what your progress turns out on your layout as well.

Here's a few pictures of the sawmill. This is a very slow going build but I'm enjoying it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Can't rush perfection.
Looks good.

Thanks, I'm hoping to get the castings in place today which would then allow me to get the roof cross beams in and the roof trusses. The roof itself has been very time consuming one board at a time.

Lynn that is looking sweet!! Keep up the great work I love all the machinery inside, that is too cool

Thanks Josh, this kit has a ton of castings that will also litter the interior walls as well as junk barrels for outside that all will be added very soon.

Here's a few pics with the windows hanging on.

These are pictures of the main roof, there are two halves of course, I'm trying to beat it up best I can, after all it wasn't about looks back then it was about making money and having a good time.

Been puttering along with the sawmill build.The rafters all done and roofing done well except for the 3 barrels to be installed on the peak. I tried to beat it up a bit. The castings I have left are mostly for the ground around the sawmill.
As you can see I made the whole a bit bigger to fit the dioramma, I think once I reshape the river next to the sawmill it should look pretty good.

Hi Lynn,

Great progress shots the roof looks so cool and realistic

It is a great build Lynn.

The colour you have been able to apply to the timber is the Winner for me. It makes it all the detail so believable.
keep us posted.

That looks really good Lynn!

Thanks guys I hope to build the sawdust conveyor and finish off the roof today. I think one led should lite up the building nicely. I also have a sawdust burner that will be built for the sawmill.

Wow Lynn this thread is total eye-candy. I can't believe I missed it until now. The progress on the layout is very inspiring, and I love the look of your scenery. The rocks and tress are spot on!


I'm looking forward to following your progress on the sawmill. It looks amazing so far. Keep up the fantastic work, and don't worry about how long it takes. Your patience is already being rewarded!

cheers
