A very special thanks to Brian Nolan for his help with the pilot model pictured here.
Brian made the wall and roof sections using his wonderful wood weathering techniques. He is an award winning modeler, great friend, and a true rock star!
His methods will be featured in the construction manual.
Over two months went into just creating all the wonderful details. These are brand new,
mastered just for this kit. Study the photographs and discover just how much
realism is packed into this 15" x 14" beauty. Detailed inside and out, be sure to visit
page two for more exterior views as well as interior shots.
Utilizing resin and metal casting technologies allows me to create masters with
clarity and crispness beyond compare. Everything pictured is included in the kit
except the scenery and track. The star of the show is the CAT tractor sweltering
in the summer heat. Looks like she's in for some engine work...
Creating a scene like the tractor under repair is effortless with
the guidance given.
Our comprehensive instructions lean heavily upon weathering
techniques and scene creation.
Original and unique laser cut jigs make building the palettes and saw horses fast and simple
from individual pieces of
stripwood. After over 15 years of making kits, a natural balance has
been found between the lasers and scratchbuilding. The lasers are a wonderful tool but
can never replace your hands and eyes.
Yes, that is the second tractor under repair. The BATES is inside the shop for re-treading.
The tractor is used with the kind permission of my good friend Keith Wiseman
and Wiseman Model Services. Keith will be releasing the BATES as a compete kit
that would make an awesome addition to the diorama!
A detailed blacksmith shop sits behind the tractor. The anvil is just visible in the doorway.
One of the brand new logging disconnects are included and is in the shop for re-decking.
The structure itself features Board on Board construction over laser cut framing.
This gives you all of the visual appeal and modeling control of a board on board structure
without the tedious work of cutting and gluing up the framing. The windows are laser
cut for accuracy and prototypical appearance. Window frames are made from stripwood.
Also included is a AH&D hoist engine in for a major overhaul.
Brian's wood weathering techniques really lend themselves to this kind of
backwoods modeling. The shed is just simmering in the hot sun!
