Beginning to take shape. This kit's a little odd in that the walls are spread over multiple pdf pages since in O-scale (that's the default) these walls are too long to fit on a single page. HO scale gets scaled at 55% before it gets printed, so maybe getting the older HO scale kit (minus some of the details and printed with grayish brick) which includes all of the buildings (A through D) might have been the easiest and most cost-effective option. HOWEVER, we soldier on!
Wall No. 4 (pictured below) includes provisions for a single story garage door, but this is supposed to be a brewery - there will be a lot of deliveries and a need to bring in large vats, etc. I need a decent-sized door for that. Back to one of my older buys and I collect the rollup door (on the right of the picture below). Although the new door fits well in terms of width, it's not high enough to cover the 2nd floor door (what's the purpose of that anyway?), so I'll have to do some brick replacement for the 2nd story opening to complete the kitbash.
