I built the paper mill in N scale a few years back. I didn’t like the smoke stacks for the era I was modeling and found brick smoke stacks and was happy with the results. I repainted mine a complete different color and also blocked some windows out as they would do as the mill got older. Was a fun project. Also made logs and stacked a bunch in the yard.
Nice job red flashing lights on the smoke stacks. door numbers on the truck doors and outdoor lights on all doors.
Walthers makes me laugh. They put out low quality products but then complains n scale doesn’t sell. You did a good job compensating
Walthers puts out good products. I enjoy putting them together, painting, and weathering them.
You did great with the paper mill. It's the first time I'm seeing Walthers mill built online. I did it so many times myself but in HO. I got two paper mill complexes. A smaller one standing on 12 foot long on 3 modules. The BIG one is a complete 9 x 9 foot room layout. It's a combination of many buildings all put together. Mostly Walthers. From the wood chip and pulpwood yard to the shipping building, trains ops serve the complex. It's interesting that you've painted pulp storage tanks in silver. I got many on these and there all concrete color. I need to find a way to make them look more prototypical. Concrete is hard to model. It needs artistic skills to do it properly. Keep on your good work.
thats a huuuuuge model. and i love the spartan descriptions from walthers 🤣
I have two grandsons who are big into LEGO, and the more bags there are in the box, the better they like it.
Yeah I feel the same way. You feel more involved with more parts to put together.
Trick that might work for you doing weathering is using a can of compressed air to move around the watered down paint. Just a thought I had while watching. Looks great as always
Good idea. Thanks!
hello Nscaler454 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Nsacler454 Friends Randy
Thanks
I have this kit as the “centerpiece” of my layout. Fun build and looks great!!!
Nice job, looks great.
That kit just seems to be a bunch of other buildings kit stuck together. The long wall needs front to back bracing so it won't curl or bow in later. Also they needed to provide a support for what you had to make. Also I found out if you use a white wash over the gray or silver ac units and etc. It gives a toned down , but rain beaten look. Anyway that kit will add a large industry to a layout. It could be kit bashed and reworked for an even better one.
good idea for the white wash. I know it works on colors, didn't really consider it for metallics
Got one of these for next to nothing that someone bought but only partially assembled. I didn’t build the kit as a paper mill but used the parts for background flats and other buildings in my layout. It’s a great kit for that even if you don’t need a paper mill.
Great work on the build!!! I’ve had this one for around 20 years, but always struggle on where to place it on the layout based on its massive size. Looking forward to seeing it on your layout! -Billy
Thanks. I did a quick test to see it on the layout. I dig it!
@@nscaler454 can’t wait to see where you’re going to put it and super detail it with 3d printed parts!
I've got this model thanks for showing us
Use a square piece of balsa to hold up the Floating wall section to make it more solid as to not get a sag
Good idea. Really anything used to hold up the floating corner is a good idea IMO
nice video and very nice buildings
I've done this on other Warehouse buildings your ford. Truck bass I would have glued one of the doors halfway open.. it is a very nice effect
You have done a great job on this fantastic kit. I started on the HO version of this kit just after Christmas. I think it will be another month yet to finish it. Interesting to see quite a few differences between the HO and N scale versions. I think perhaps too that the HO instructions are better although not great. I have been thinking that I would make my silos concrete but I do like your steel version. I went with a different take on the rail entrance to the main building and just cut out two ties to go over the "concrete" foundation.
It takes a bloody long time doesn't it?! haha
Need a lazy susan for your paint booth,trouble seeing,well it is N scale after all
Good idea. I really should look into one. I think I would have a few uses too.
It’s cool that the N scale kit comes with 3 kits in one. I had to buy all my ho kits separately. Did they ever do a Kraft Mill in N scale? Looks great thanks for sharing.
I am not sure if the Kraft mill can be purchased separately in N scale. I do find this scene is a decent value considering the size of scene it creates.
Meant to say your for bay doors for the trucks
Ya, those instructions are a little to be desired.
I always thought they wanted you to use your imagination, kinda like Legos 😂😂
Looking great, thus far. Ron
Shame Cornerstone hasnt updated their moulds. Seeing that excess flashing material is a waste and causes more cleanup of there models than necessary, especially the large attach points from the trees. For what we pay for these models they should revamp their process. We shouldnt have to 'fixup' any defects. Dont get me started on their instructions either.... as you discovered during your assembly process.
Walthers has good products but their customer service sucks. I will never buy anything from them again.
Oh yeah what happened to your corners when you glued your buildings looks like chewing gum welds... Figure you would fill in putty and sand. Bottom line is your happy..
The plastic walls weren't completely straight. I even put a rubber band around it to hold it together and it still bowed out.
