Lumber Yard Drying and Storage Shed - Model scratch building on the cheap

[@CNWAndrew]

I am going to attempt to build this. How do you weather the outside to look like metal sheeting?

[@SundborgModelRailway]

What a great idea! For metal sheeting I would probably go fro a steel gray and then give it a heavy layer of weathering.

[@CNWAndrew]

@@SundborgModelRailway So basically an air brush or spray can of steel grey followed by forest green followed by a wash?

[@Helvetii1291]

Great little background structure!

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 😃🚂

[@HenrikSweden1]

looks great and i love when a project🐥 costs almost nothing ! thanks.

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Thanks! Yes, this project only cost me a couple of US$ so it was really cheap.

[@philRminiatures]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!🚂

Thanks for sharing.looks amazing and cost very little to build. It's give me the idea to build a strorage barn in stead of buy one.

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It is in many ways much more fun to build things yourself rather than buying a kit.

I think I've watched this video about 10 times now.

[@SundborgModelRailway]

I hope that means you like it :-D

[@w.rustylane5650]

@@SundborgModelRailwayYes I did & I built the lumber shed. Cheers - TN

[@w.rustylane5650]

Nice board & batten idea. I'm gonna have to give that a try. I always learn something by watching other modelers. Looks like you need to stain the interior wood work if it's gonna be that visible. Oh, I see you marked the boards with a pencil instead of painting the interior. Great idea. I was wondering how tall you made the structure so I guess 12 scale feet tall & seeing you marking off the interior, you made it 4 1/2 cm to include the top rail. I guessed right. I'll have to guess the length and the width looks to be about two sections. Just don't know how high the top of the roof is but I'll just guess looking at the pitch you used. Looks to be about 2 cm taller than front and back walls. The tractor and forklift work well into the scene. I've got an old Diamond T flatbed truck I'll incorporate into the scene as well. I've been wanting to scratch build a lumber warehouse. Cheers from eastern TN

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Thank you, glad you liked this rather simpel build. A Diamond T truck sounds like an awfully big truck - at least it would be for my small Danish sawmill, but perhaps you are modelling an American sawmill? Then things cannot get big enough :-D

[@ajmatthews7700]

Very effective!

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Thanks :-)

[@germanantonionavarrete5428]

Looks like something from a Suydam wooden kit.

[@SundborgModelRailway]

Had to look Suydam kits up. If you.mean it looks kind of old school then I would agree 😀 Suydam kits look rather expensive, but my project cost me max. 3$ 🚂

[@rencleavus5213]

The rolled roofing is lapped the wrong way. Otherwise very nice.

[@SundborgModelRailway]

You mean horizontally instead of vertically? In Denmark you can see both.
