I've finished the mill up to the roof install.
I detailed the interior and some of the exterior.
I started with painting some figures that will go into the structure. These are all made by Juneco as well, just not included in the kit. I spray primered them in white and hand painted them from there.
Then I added detail parts to the workshop area of the mill. The workbench, extra saw blade, barrels and drums all came with the kit. I added a drive belt from the steam engine to the saw husk assembly, made from brown paper.
The stairs are from Central valley. I made the wood stack by cutting a piece of 2X4 into a slice about 2 scale feet wide and using a sharp knife, I cut scale firewood. It's all glued together with Matte Medium.
The next project will be a roof over the sawmill, but I wnat to leave the workshop open for viewing. I'm also considering a small elevated water tank to supply the boiler with water. The kit comes with a cast metal cistern, but I like the idea of a water tower instead.
