"Back Road Buildin's" Thrasher Bros. Warehouse Update
We know that the are a bunch of you
wondering, "Where's my Thrasher Bros. Warehouse #1?"
The long story short is all about
tails; rafter tails, that is. If you've not looked closely
at the prototype Thrasher Bros. Warehouse #1 photos on the
Internet, you might notice that this structure has some very
unique shaped rafter tails and fascia trim.
All that said, we've had some great success using our
Precision Plotter Cutter making a plethora of stuff and then
providing the instructions of how to extract the parts from
the stencil board material; until now. Last week I spent a
considerable amount of time cutting out the compound curves
to discover that there just was NOT an easy way to cut the
compound curves and look good. Plan B: Contact our friends
and accomplished laser user and kit manufacturer Kenny Crumb
of KC's
Workshop Craftsman Model Kits and
almost immediately, VIOLA! We have Thrasher Bros rafter
tails & fascia boards.
That's the good news! Because at last
count, we've only been able to add 30 new N
Scale California Freight & Details Co. and
so it's balance of finishing up the Thrasher Pilot Model kit
& re-writing the instructions and tackling some more N Scale
Cal Freight details. And we need more space and the Gazettes
are in the way! Please read on ... |
