Scratch building N scale

[Anachron]

Hi all

This is my first scratch built building
It's in N scale and measuers 14 * 7,5 * 10 cm right now(yes we use metric system in sweden and sry about that )

It*s made from evergreen's sheet styrene a couple of windows that I found from another building and some Plastruct strips

As I progress I thought I could show you how I go along and hope to get some feedback cause im a newbie

This is the building I will have as a basic insperation

the pice that lies next to the house is the small roof over the platform

Lookn good bro. On a similar structure that I built, I used .020" wire (this was built in HO) to "hang" the roof from the side of the structure at a 45 degree angle and used styrene strip as a ledge to rest the bottom of the roof on, glued to the side of the building.

Good luck and keep us posted, it's looking great so far.

It looks good. I'm in HO, but enjoy seeing good work in any scale. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures as you progress.

Looking very nice! The big challenge for me when scratchbuilding is cutting out neat openings for windows. Yours look great! I like that big window on the side.

Awesome!

And... is that a microsoft keyboard and optical mouse you have there? I think those are the same ones I have !

 

[Anachron]

thx alot guys
I love this forum and all of you guys that give me the motivation I need

Yes Ralph the windos are the hard part
specually when they measures 7 * 5 mm
But I found it easier to look good if I make the hole smaler than the window I am going to use, then I file the hole to the correct size.

yeah Arlaghan it is an ms mouse and keyboard (great for elit gaming)

I will very soon have some more photos, so stay tuned
