New Module for Hotracks and a start to a YouTube channel.

ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.


While we're waiting for the 3D parts to arrive, let's move on with the next structure. This kit contains two buildings, so we'll focus on fully assembling the first one before starting on the second.

 
Of course, I need an interior—why make things easier for myself, right? LOL! I'm fond of these Walther kits, but some parts don't quite hit the mark aesthetically. So, let's get to kitbashing and spruce it up a bit. Those Tichy train group parts are just fantastic.


 


So, let get this outside ready for weathering and to be finish. Here's how I made the channels for the Tichy Trains Group doors for this building using evergreen styrene strips.

SORRY FOR THE BAD VIDEOGRAPHY IM ALSO LEARN HOW TO USE THIS NEW EDITING PROGRAM.

 
WELL, WE TRIED SOMETHING NEW AND IT WAS AN EPIC FAILURE BUT WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE IT AND THE OUTCOME WAS PRETTY GOOD.

 
Well Its been over 20yrs since I did any decaling so let see How I do and I'm going to try something new an destress the decals so they look like much older signs. Come see how I miss this up.


Here's a link to the decal discussion.

Walthers decal issues

Hey all I was applying the decal that came with the kit to a Walthers building after I dull coated the building to lockdown the weathering. some of the decal did not stick down and after 4 to 5 application of Micro Sol they stuck but didn't sink into the siding. I there was some air bubbles so i...

Well I'm done with this building till all the 3d printed stuff comes in so stay tuned for that.
Thank you all for watching and giving your input.



 
Ok here we go on the final stretch with this Module this is the last building to be built lots of new techniques tried on this building.
It really was a enjoyable build and very satisfying.

 
So here is a new technique for me I've never used before sponging to add some color to this brick building. So, I went a little old school when I did these windows and used SOBO to make the window glazing this was an old-school technique I used back in the day. We fitted the Tichy Window and doors too

 


It's time to scratch-build some doors for this structure. The process of constructing these doors was unexpectedly straightforward, and the transformation they brought to the building's appearance is remarkable. What began as a modest $40 kit has been elevated to resemble a $140 craftsman kit. You can see the difference for yourself.

 
Progress on the building is advancing; the next steps include installing the flooring, and interior walls, and fitting the windows and doors.

 
The final stages of the building's construction are upon us, with the weathering of the roofs and the installation of lighting on the horizon. Tackling a shingled roof for the first time is an exciting challenge, and I'm hopeful it will match the high quality of the rest of the structure. While this video may be on the longer side, rest assured, future videos will be shorter. Keep an eye out for what's next! 🤞
 
It's the final build video for these structures I'm happy to be moving on to the completion of this module. It is so nice to see all the little things come together and bring the story to life. There are still some little things to be added but for the most part, it's done and done.

 
Well guys you suffer threw this build this is the last video in this build series there will be some updates as some more detail are added but I'm moving on to a Ntrak module build next.



Ok, it's time to tie up some loose ends on the Stateline farm supply building. It has been a long haul to get to this point.

Thank you all for watching and helping build my channel .
 
So finally, we get to finish the ground cover on this module. It helps bring the whole story of this module together. There still more to do but I'm done for now and will pop back on it now and then in the future. NEXT up is the rebirth of my Nscale module I hope you all enjoy that build too.
