Detailed structures
This started as a Woodland Scenics Machine Shop that I detailed and illuminated. Photographs of this finished model recieved and Honorable mention and award from Woodland Scenics. The photos have also been shown in the Chicago Photographic Socity and won awards in Division and regional meets.
The forge is lit with a LED that can be brightened when in use. The room lighting is done with surface mounted LEDs on the extra frame below the roof. There is a welder on the outside using an arc welder also lit by LEDs and animated to look like sparks of a stick welder.

Other work, 24' Work Caboose & Logger cabins
24' Work caboose
First steps working on the frame
Truss Rods did not fit the holes so I replaced them with 30 gauge wire.
Here is the frame airbrushed with red oxide primer.
Logger's cabins
Painted roofing and smoke stacks on the roof placed on the roof.
First steps build the cabins less widows
Acrylic paint over alcohol stains with peeled paint FXs following FOS Scale Models instructions.
3 cabins with windows and doors.
Notice the sub roofing, in some cases the tabs are tight as the size of the buildings have changed with painting and peeled paint. Care must be taken with the corners as the precut material is a little long and will force the roof up. Careful cutting or sanding of the corners and the door frames will help the sub roof fit snug to the cabin.
