Hi guys, This kit was built pretty much stock, just painted the mortar joints in the main brick building. I also added some more roof details that came with the kit, Walthers gives you extra vents, so i figured well why not use them all? I also build a very small tank and added it next to the 3 vertical tanks up on the roof. Then added some decals, 2 "Superior Paper Main Mill" signs on the Mail Mill Structure, "Shipping", "Receiving", and "Office" signs on the Mail Mill Structure by the loading docks, and 3 "Superior Paper Kraft Mill" signs on the Kraft Mill Building. If the decals look shinny, thats cuz they were still wet when i took the pics. I had just applied them and brushed a layer of Micro-Sol on them. As soon as there completely dry (probably wait till tomorrow morning) ill spray a layer of clear flat on them that will dull them right up. Here are the pics, comments, questions, suggestions always welcome
This one is also up for sale and not yet up on eBay. I am asking $130 plus $12.00 shipping via USPS Parcel Post (within the US.) Can ship outside the US, but shipping will be more. Shipping Insurance will also be mandatory for this one as well as the Blower House and Blast Furnace I accept PayPal, USPS or Bank Certified Money Order, or Personal Check PM or Post here if interested.
Thanks Raymond, this kit was one of the more fun kits to do. Next time i build it, ill do the mortar joints a little different to hopefully give it a better effect of actual mortar joints. i think i just need to thin the paint. I also was told to try white shoe polish, so ill give that a shot as well on the next one
Hi Hey man, long time no chat. Good to see you on TrainBoard, and good to see you're still making amazing models. My steel mill is pretty much on hold until I move into our new house, but am looking forward to hitting you up for advice when things get going again in a few weeks. Cheers

I need to do one of those in HO using the New Ashland Furnace's lol. Will have to be my next Furnace project. Look forward to seeing you back in action, and feel free to ask away, im here to help wherever i can Also got my own hobby shop now too hehe, so it really makes building Walthers kits like the Blast Furnace alot easier money wise LOL
