Espanola Updates Warehouse

 The warehouse and the chemicals additives unloading dock were built with evergreen sheets as metal sidings.

Also hundreds of woodsticks were glued to the border of the module.

The building was painted in a kind of vanilla color.

The huge processing tower on the right was cut in pieces and the smaller part was glues to the module.

Previous to glueing I positioned some log stacks where the wall of logs should be.

The warhouse is build of 3mm wood with glues on styrene sheets.

Inside the shed a walkway helps crews to works safe.

To fill the empty space in front of the loading dock some buildings and containers were positioned.

Also a scale house was needed

A chain link fence marks the end of the property.

 

Espanola Updates - Beer Store interior

The beer store was a must have for this module.

It was built of evergreen sheets that were cut by a laser.

To have a nice interior I ordered some 3D prints.

This included a counter

Some more Racks, barrels and bottles are needed.

 

Espanola Updates DAM power station

 Hello,

long time no see.

I finally continues with the build of this nice module.

The power generating house needed to be build. So I modified an old kit to match this building.

The building is too big for the scene, I'll need to shorten it in the future.

Espanola Domtar Paper Mill - 2022 Updates

 There was some progress in 2022!

The Beer Store and the blinds dealer were built.

Also the first layers of color were applied.

Testing the location of the fence with some add on material.

A look from the small hill to town.

The woodchip spur is now in place, ballasted and ready to serve.

I also applied some static grass next to the track

 Spanish River Hydro Power

The module was fortified with a bottom layer that represents the water level.

Bridges and the overflow dam were placed to see how the cut out works.

The short KATO bridge was too long compared to the truss bridge above the overflow. The bridge was shortened to fit the scenery.

After a layer of primer the bridge received some weathring with powders.

While I had the powders on the desk I weathered the truss bridge, too.

The 3D printed dam was glued together, primered and received a base coat of concrete paint.

Placing the bridges and the dam on the module allowed a good view where the lake/river bed should go.

The top level of the module received some more cut outs.

A second level of brown wood was glued in to present the water level of the lake. The rocks were modled with plaster and packing styrofoam.

A second pair of feeder wires were added. 

 

For a first impression turfs and bushes were added.

Da Espanola ja transportabel ist, müssen die Gebäude eine Grundstabilität haben. Hierfür wurde aus 3mm Holzplatten der Grundkern gebaut.

-

Due to the fact that Espanola is transportable for modular meetings all building cores need to be constructed to survive some rough handling.

Die Seitenwände wurden mit 10x10mm Streben gegen die Rückwand gesichert. Hierauf wird später das Dach aus Polystyrol aufliegen.

-

The side walls are stabilized with 10x10mm wood pieces. Later the styrene roof will sit on these.

Unter die Evergreen metal Sidings kommt noch ein 10mm hohes Betonfundament.

-

Below the Evergreen metal sidings there will be a 10mm high concrete foundation.
