Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-03-2014 In the late 1800's a German man opened a brewery in New Lisbon Wisconsin. In the early 1900's he built himself, at that time, a mansion. He was a bit of a train buff because he built his hone right next to the Milwaukee Road mainline. I will be attempting to reproduce his home in HO scale sometime in the 1950's O ver the years the house fell into disrepair, here is a picture of it from about two years ago. and a recent picture after it was refurbished. I hope you all follow along as I build this thing. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-03-2014 I am using Rusty Stumps 1/32 thick laser cut plywood for the main walls. All the door and window openings laid out. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - Catt - 10-03-2014 There you go reading my mind again.It's simply amazing how everytime I want to know how or what your doing you post the information without my asking. :mrgreen: Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-03-2014 Catt, It must be all the years we have known each other. I was thinking about it the other day, it was about 15 years ago on the RR Depot forums with Robin and Shamus and a few others. And in case you were wondering this is how it looks with all the openings cut out. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - Sumpter250 - 10-04-2014 Andy !! A "Self Challenge" for an opening post here on Big Blue ? Bold move looking forward to seeing this one grow. Hope you find this place becoming your primary "haunt". Once again, Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-04-2014 Inside bracing is on using 3/16 sq. basswood. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-04-2014 Thanks for the welcome Sumpter, I painted the inside of the building black, and then assembled the four walls. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - Catt - 10-04-2014 HAH, I get to ask the question this time :mrgreen: And the question is ,who made the brick sheets your using? Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-04-2014 Catt, If you read the second post you will see I said it is from Rusty Stumps. I have used his self stick laser cut sheets before, they are on a type of matt board. I would build the structure out of 1/16 basswood then apply the brick. I thought I would try the plywood this time to save a step. So far it's working great. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - BR60103 - 10-04-2014 Andy Your construction jumped a little fast. How did you cut the curved tops to the windows? Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-04-2014 David, Being very careful with an exacto knife. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - JaBear - 10-04-2014 Is there any particular reason I can't view the photos in Andys first 4 posts to this thread??? Cheers, the Bear. Re: Brierbaur House - ak-milw - 10-04-2014 Ja Bear, they all show up for me, I don't really know. 8-) Re: Brierbaur House - bdw9535 - 10-05-2014 JaBear Wrote:Is there any particular reason I can't view the photos in Andys first 4 posts to this thread???
