    Here's a scratchbuilt structure I finished a few weeks back, just needs weathering and the grey card taking away and bedding into the baseboard. The final structure I am just on with is a new Sawmill with a footprint of 15" by 11". Should have this completed by the new year.

    Wow that looks amazing! [​IMG]

    Is it a waterside structure? That looks like a boat ramp on the right?

    As usual, it’s simply amazing Paul. Where do you get the inspiration? Do you draw a plan based on old pictures, or do you simply draw one from your imagination? I just started working on my first scratch build building, (I’m trying to use the black foam core technique described here http://www.horailroad.com/clinic2/cl2_005.htm ). I drew a simple plan for a coal mine building in TurboCad and am now ready to get started. Of course my building will be very simple, nothing fancy like yours, but at least it’s not a Walther’s “standard” kit. But where do you get the inspiration?

    I see some elements that I have seen in other kits...I think Paul simply sees what he likes, draws it out, adds his own flavor, and builds it...I wish I had the time!

    Excellence, as usual. When you're done with that prototype, I'd like to order a kit from you. Ready-built of course :D

    Hey thanks all, really nice comments from you all. [​IMG]

    Sorry, but I cannot stop building these structures, everytime I find a photo of one I like, I jump straight into it and get it started. [​IMG] :D

    Paul, there are plenty of areas here in the States (and down in Australia) that woulda loved to have some of that damn rain [​IMG]

    The rain does have other benefits- you can get some more modeling done. And judging from the looks of that awesome building, it must be monsoon season in England :D
