HO/HOn3 Kit 102 - the Eureka Springs Engine House
 |
|||
The
Eureka Springs Engine House, in HO/HOn3, contains over 100 of my beautifully
detailed resin castings and I made about 75 of them especially for the
engine house. The workbenches and shelves have more clutter, junk, tools,
etc. than ever before. I developed new casting procedures that now allow
me to reproduce features I have always wanted to. The castings have more
depth and deeper undercuts. Wait till you see them! There are of course
new junk piles with engine house stuff piled high, large wooden bins of
junk, a large crane, a bathroom with toilet and sink, an office, and assorted
crates, barrels, and drums. The machine shop is especially nice. One end
is a two-sided hand carved stone wall. The dock is also a resin casting. Inside is a lathe, drill
press, and table saw. But my favorite casting is the donkey sled. It is
a single piece with a wooden water tank, and a small oval steel oil tank.
There are barrels, tools, and junk also cast in place. I also made new
windows and doors for this kit! |

When you see how visible the interior of the Springs is, it becomes evident why construction is board on board on batten. This allows total control of the detailing of the wood inside and out. Wood grain and splits, coloring, and assembly can be modified to meet the builders taste. I employ weathering and staining techniques that are fast, easy, and yield excellent results. I spent a great deal of time working on the templates. They must be accurate and free of mistakes, and they are! They are digitally reproduced so there is no loss of accuracy as is found with conventional printing and copying method.
