Just a guy making the world a smaller place
I am a young scale modeler with tastes in N scale trains, warhammer and many more!
Safe space for all! Just want to spread my love of the miniature world.

Continuing to work on my 2k #warhammer army. Base coats are completed on my artillery team moving onto detail painting. Im thinking of using some extra cadians to replace the kerg so everything is uniform. #painting #40k #astramilitarium

The rest of the vehicles I have to do, (including a used modified taurox that i stripped and repaired since it was all i could find) for me the key was batch painting the base coat. With an airbrush I was able to knock it out in 8 hours total, in 3 sessions. #warhammer #guard ##astramilitarum

My next #3dprinted #project is a platform for my passenger #trains. I'm planning to print it in sections to fit into my printer. First time for that so let's just see how it goes.

For those that are looking for a #vacation in #canada. I HIGHLY recommend the #Via #Canadian 5 days on some beautifully maintained vintage equipment with amazing food, service and new friends. It runs from #Toronto to #Vancouver. Through the beautiful Canadian landscape. A must for all #train lover!

Parts finally came in to start on the yard! Just need one switch.
Also making an appearance is the #Kato #Canadian. This isn't the complete train but it's the part that fits on my #modelrailroad. I found it at a train show and online reseller, already DDC-Sound equipped from the previous owner.

One of the important things I've learned about making a #modelrailroad (and a bit in life) is #planning. My current layout has gone through nine main (22 sub) versions. To add to that, however, you need to be flexible. My "final" plan has seen two industries and the layout of a siding changed.

One of the great parts of #modeltrains is that you can expand your hobby to do much more! I'm trying my hand at designing and printing my own buildings. Here is my attempt at a yard office.
If I'm going to buy #3dprint buildings why not try my own! #diy #nscale

They do ship everything together. It was like 14$ shipping from China for everything.
Most of there stuff is 3d printed and to light it you need need to be creative. But some of them are just laser cut plastic sheets like this office building. I did need to drill and cut into the base though.

The layout in its current form. Finally got my buildings in from outlandmodels and built up the paper mill from walthers. Still waiting on a order of feeders to finish the yard. #hobby #nscale #modeltrains #trains #diy

I don't have many pictures of the progress, unfortunately, but these 2 Dorns were a blast to paint up. Used airbrush and details were picked out by hand. Still not 100% done. #warhammer #40k #imperialguard #guard #hobby #diy

My first model railroad is in construction. It's been about half a year since I started. I will make sure to post further progress. If you have any questions, about how I have done something or if you are interested in making one yourself, please let me know! #hobby #nscale #model #modeltrains #diy
