Custom Build Saw Mill from Holland

[LooVille]

Right, Long weekend work 

Did not get as much done as I wanted, but progress was made, so I'm happy.

Started with the Deck.
Sanded and Glued all the parts together.
Then I placed it on some masking tape and I'm busy with the braising parts at the bottom.

Evert

I love that last picture, fantastic work. 
I would struggle to do that in HO scale, never mind N scale.
So when are you doing one in Z scale?

Not sure if you have the saying in german: "Let sleeping dogs lie"...

Good Morning All,

Hope everybody had a good Christmas and New Year celebrations. All the best for 2019 and I'm sure we will see some awesome stuff in the year ahead.

I had some time off so I could also work on the sawmill again 

All the buildings is together now so I mixed so cream paint and painted the outside of both buildings. I thinned the paint a little as I wanted to keep the grain of the wood.
Had to give it 2 to 3 coats of paint, but it looks good.
I then painted the inside of all the windows dark green.
I also stained the deck, I like the colour, think I'll leave it like that.

Next step is to cut all the paper strips for the back wall as it is covered in clapboard. That is dark brown/black.
Then I can fit all the windows. I will make them myself as the resin for the 3D printers got so expensive  almost R1k to get it done !!!!! No way !!!!!

Will send updates soon again.

Cheers,
Evert.

Evert,

What are you looking at for the windows?

R1k is somewhat extreme for printed windows.  You can almost get a whole litre of resin for that price (well it depends on the brand) so you could print a boat load of windows for th eprice.

Evert,

He must be using some good stuff in that case.  Possibly SLA rather than DLP resins or something.

Send me a copy of your files and I'll see what I can do for you.

Hi Evert,

Something I tried many moons ago that works great for industrial buildings :

Print a design for the windows (drawn in CAD, Excel or whatever) and print on overhead transparency projector sheets.  I have done this in black but maybe it could be done in colour on certain printers.   The trick it to cut the window surrounds a fair bit wider than the window, to allow for glueing that does not spill onto the visible portions of the window.  You also have to be careful not to smear the printing on the sheets.

Cheers,
Steve

Good Morning All,

I thought I'll post the update for what is happening.
Freightcars, really helped a lot with this one, can't wait to see or have the final product in my hands. 

Thank you so much for the help with the Windows and the Doors.   

I will paint them white and then it will be fitted inside the window frames already cut and painted in the walls.
Some of the Doors is a normal door with a frame and a few is sliding that is fitted on the outside of the building.

Cheers and I will update again soon.

Going to look good in place.

I got stuck down a rabbit hole and haven't gotten back to these this week.  I need to send those to you.

No problem helping out.  It's been an interesting test to throw at the printer.

Good morning All,

So last week I received the package from Freightcars  Thank you so much, it really came out GREAT 
I started to fit the windows this weekend, going to take a while as I have to sand each tiny window and door slightly to make them fit 100%

Once made to fit, I will remove it again and spray them white.
Then it will be fitted permanently.

Here is some pictures.
Enjoy.

Cheers,
Evert
