Building & Modifying Walthers George Roberts Printing for the National Model Railroad Build Offl

Building and modifying the George Roberts Printing Company as part of an abandoned factory complex with 3D printed details. This is the fourth structure in my diorama for Walther's National Model Railroad Build Off 2022. We add interior details, lighting and build a grungy deserted factory

If you would like to see me do another kit like this, either Walthers or from someone else, reply to this comment and I will see what I can do.

very well edited video. The 3d printing is great for this kit.

I just ran across this video and your channel. This turned out to be a great looking kit bash. Thanks for sharing it. 👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent paint technique for brick.

preface.... I am a hack modeler myself and am working on a like project based on another Walthers kit. This provided some great reference and ideas on how to do it right. Thanks for sharing....

Great job love the various techniques - Thanks again

[@trainglen22]

Very impressed. Just realized that I could used this as a rebuilt co-op apartment building.

Very nice video production quality. Great content and tight editing. I know it is a lot of work to do this, but I would love to see more of this type of work from you.

[@HobbyGenix]

Thank you very much, I love watching your videos, especially when you build the crazy old school kits.

Beautiful work - really great!

Reminds me of Buffalo NY. Very well done.

Wow ! That's a great video of Geo printing or Tire plant. I got sooooo many of them. They're part of a paper mill complexe. I've putted together many of them in one long building. Those are great tips to doma very high quality weathering job.

[@HobbyGenix]

This is fantastic! what did cut the inset masking tape with at 1:52? #11blade?

Have you ever checked Evans Designs for lighting solutions? They have a lot of lighting options that really eliminates the need for solving math problems when lighting structures. If you happen to order items that aren’t compatible they call you to make sure you meant to order those components.

Very detailed kitwork, but I wonder why a deserted building would have active lighting. ;)

[@HobbyGenix]

The story is one of decay , defeat, and rebirth. The final diorama has the factory being reopened and thus the lights. Plus it is fun to add lighting, even if it's not supposed to be there :)

[@lucgagnon5241]

Hi, would it be possible to get the colors used for the bricks please ? Thanks

[@HobbyGenix]

These are the paints I used. I would suggest getting a reference photo and using that to pick paints at the store, which is how I picked these:
Craftsmart
brown
Espresso
Brick Red
French WIne
Folk Art
627 Tangerine
Americana
Canyon Orange

@@HobbyGenix Hi ! Many many thanks for answering. To be honest, yours is the most beautiful "version" of GEO print I've seen since that kit exist. Like I said in previous email, I'm using many of them in my paper complex buildings. Some are alone but mainly put together (like three or four of them) in a loooong single building. I'm always looking forward to find ways to prime the realism on them. You sure did !

[@AbelG8781]

I'll be utilizing these methods to my N scale version of this kit! Love the brick work!
