Westside Lumber Engine House

**skidoosnopro** · #1 06-28-2021, 10:30 AM

Well I have started on the build of the First Pc of my Westside lumber in HO scale . I have all the Russ simpson plans so I am using those for this project . I bought the Board and Batten siding texture online and then changed it in Gimp to get the color I wanted. The window frames I cut out on my Curio, an amazing little machine. So please offer me any advice to make this look better or any thoughts
Thank you

decided I did not like the windows they looked fake to me . Love the cutter but did not look right

I agree, the new windows look more realistic. I like the Heisler too!

Definitely headed that direction!

Smoke and oil fragrances sold separately?

Is there going to be a handsome, idiosyncratic, barn cat named 'Dirt'?

(reference to a certain, somewhat frizzy, personality at the Nevada Northern)

Good start, I like the texture. When I do windows I cut multi layers. Attached is a double hung window in 3 layers for a friend's laser cutter in 0.0010" material. Upper glass attached to the middle layer and lower glass attached to the back. Can your cutter do this fine a cut?

That is great . I will look into doing this and see what it looks like. Yes in my first post is the windows I cut they have really small pane edges around 3/64 so yes I think it will cut that small. I have a laser cutter sitting in garage that I need to get fixed up , bought used from a guy so might also do that .
