Fos Scale Models/ Blog: December 2013

Friday, December 6, 2013. 3/4" =1' Storefront Project. I started this project recently as an experiment and will be getting back to it shortly once Execution Rocks is done shipping, which should be within a week or so. The storefront is being built in a similar way to how they are made in my kits; a background layer to which all the components are attached, matboard in this case. The rest is wood of various sizes. The main pilasters are 3/4" pine with fluting engraved with the laser.

Friday, May 2, 2014. But that's what each project is, a learning experience, just as the show back in 2007 was and what the Fine Scale Model Railroad Expo is now. It's a perpetual journey of learning and inspiration. Whatever is on your workbench right now, try something you have never tried before. Maybe use artists oils to weather something, try some new scenery material and most of all , take your time. It'll be worth it. Posted by Fos Scale Models Blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, April 21, 2014. Firstly, apologies for the lapse in posting here. The release of the last three kits; Moscone, DelGiorno's and Hollis Pest Control have kept the Fos workshop humming along to fulfill orders. During this busy time however, I managed to start an O Scale kit project I've wanted to do for a while, a small, simple gas station. Posted by Fos Scale Models Blog. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, October 24, 2013. QUICK LOOK: Roof Assembly For Peckam's Sailmakers. Here's a quick look at the roof assembly for Peckham's sailmakers. The main substructure is tab and slot mattboard that forms a easy to build, rigid frame for the mansard roof. Once the substructure is glued up, rolled roofing can be used to cover the flat part of the roof. Then laser cut cards are added to the angled supports, to which shingles and dormers are then put in place. Posted by Fos Scale Models Blog. That's up to m...

Thursday, July 18, 2013. The pilot model of our next HO kit is nearly complete. At the moment a layer of dirt scenery is drying in the sun.might as well take advantage of this 100 degree heat - wet scenery or canopy glue glazing dry five times as fast sitting in direct sunlight. I've mentioned lighting structures in this blog before and I'll say so again - it's easier than you think and the results are fantastic! The new kit will be available around late July.
