So...
I bought a Walthers structure with intentions to use it as a foreground warehouse. I then put it in place and decided it was too short. So i figured I would raise the structure up a little bit with a loading dock.
I then turned the walls to to face the edge of the layout and realized...they suck. No interior detailing big ugly ejector marks etc. etc. So then I thought I could glue some corrugated metal to the inside...but then the walls are 2 feet wide.
Well then I found some great photos of the interior of some different sawmills and decided that I guess I will be scratchbuilding this structure. So I grabbed my small collection of campbells siding and decided I will need to make a trip to the LHS to pick up some scale lumber.
Now you can follow me attempt to scratchbuild the Ponderosa Moulding company warehouse.
