My first scratch built structure: Purgatory Creek depot, built from card and strip wood in HO scale. Windows and doors are pictures printed out on card stock; outer window and door frames are strip wood. Shingles are cut out from construction paper and painted Polly Scale Grimy Black. Chimney is styrene with printed brick paper covering.
I think it looks great! Well done!
Nice job!. One of the beauties of scratch building is you can create a structure to fit a given space. Also you don't have the same building from a kit that 5000 other layouts have. And of course the satisfaction that you created it yourself.
If that's a first I can't wait to see the second.
Nicely done!
