Great Job and Great Video. I love how you explained your process and detailed how the build is coming together. I can't wait to see the finished model! Its going to look great! - Andy
I think 🤔 you doing an excellent job on this kitbash project !!! I love doing kitbash project with my brother on our layout. And best of all …… this a one a kind , no one can say ….. “same old building.”
Hi Drew, hey I wanted to let you know about a tool that might just be the thing for scribing the lines back into the outer wall of the kit. Look to our friends that are model car enthusiasts, it's Called a panel line scraper, it's used to deepen the lines around doors or trunks on 1/24 scale model cars, Micro Mark sells them or any hobby shop that stocks model cars.
A great kit bash and one I have thought about doing my own self except these days I don't have the space for it. The drafting world has what they call dividers. Pretty much identical to a compass used to draw circles. The dividers are a pair of sharp points that can be spaced how ever far apart you need them. Measure the distance you need on your scale rule. Put one point in your case at the very edge of your wall and the other where where you want the first scribe. Push down slightly and then rotate the point that is on the very edge and push down again and repeat over and over again. I use either a cut offed drafting T-Square to mark the lines using the holes you made or a small machinist square that I picked up from Micro Mark, if you don't already have one.
Great job! I have also started working on this kitbash and have enjoyed seeing how you have solved several of the problems. When do you anticipate showing the next video?
Thanks, Anthony. It’ll probably be a few weeks. I’m back working on laying track at the moment and I’m doing the rail yard, so that is taking some time.
@@WhiteRiverLine I'm hung up right now on the 2nd story floor and how it ties into the 2 lower structures. Will be interested in seeing how you end up doing it. By the way, like your Philmont shirt. Been there 3 times.
Yeah, I don't think that part is super clear in the instructions. I'll do my best to show that as clearly as possible. I haven't actually done a trek at Philmont, I just visited while passing through the area. Our troop went in late July, but my son decided he wants to do Northern Tier next summer instead.
@@WhiteRiverLine My sons did both and both are great. Did one Philmont trek as a youth, one with both my boys and one visit with my wife where we stayed in the cabins.
Very carefully... I caught it before I added the header so I was able to use my xacto to cut it out and reposition it. I intended to include footage of it my video, but it seems my camera cut out on me.
Very nice, took notes! I like the way you were able to kit bash the three and create that covered section.

Thanks, Andy.
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the final model.
Thanks. I'm thinking it should be a nice piece on the layout.
I absolutely love how this is coming together, and I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks. I've been pretty excited about getting started on this project.

Thanks, Kraig. I'm really enjoying and plan on doing more.
Great work on the kitbash. The layout is progressing nicely. Keep up the great work.
As always, thanks, John.
Great video. Really enjoy watching you work. Thanks for keeping us updated
Thanks, Robb. I'm thinking this project is going to take a me a couple of months to finish as I mix it in with trackwork.
Fantastic work Drew!
Thanks, Yukon.
Good episode look forward to seeing the end result
Thanks, Paul. Glad to have such great supporters.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

Interesting kitbash project . After so much "rail work, switch building " it's kinda nice to change up eh?
Its actually one of the things I like about the hobby. If I get bored with one thing I can do something else for a little while.
You, uh, glued one of those windows upside-down.
Good eye. I fixed it off camera.
@@WhiteRiverLine how did you fix it?
