Hello

I started to build my own terrain. Here are the first work in progress pictures.

**MacCall**

Here are some more pictures.

**MacCall**

And the last picture so far

**Necros**

Looks great so far! I keep telling myself I want to scratch build a bunch of buildings but I never have time. I have a whole lot of balsa wood sitting around collecting dust just waiting for me.

**sparkywtf**

That looks great! Can't wait to see some paint on it!

I am with Necros on this one... some scratch built terrain would be awesome, but first I need to actually put my gangs together! (hey I am done with 2 gangs other than gap filling!)

**solosam**

Wow! That looks awesome! I'm going to have to get some balsa wood and try that myself!

**cybogoblin**

Damn! Great work, indeed!

My Dad used to make his own buildings for his model railway. Might see if I can dig out some of his old books and see if they have any ideas.

**MacCall**

So, I finished to build the house, now I have to paint it.

**Mississippi**

That is some really great work.

**FarseerAndyMan**

hey mac!! did you ever get that bad boy painted?

**sparkywtf**

Ditto!

(also maybe a template so I can build one too!)

**MacCall**

Yes, I finished the first one and a second.

These aren't the final pictures of first building. I changed a few things, but I didn't have the time to make new pictures.

**MacCall**

But here are some pictures of the second building.

I will make and post more pictures at the weekend.

**MacCall**

Here are the final pictures, of the first building.

**MacCall**

And here are the pictures of the second building.

Make kits! sell kits! make money! make people happy!

such excellent work they both are very well done!

**MacCall**

To make kits would be very difficult. It's all handmade. I think it would be very expensive.

Here are the last pictures of the second building:

**nerdfest09**

Perhaps templates of the panels would be easier? i'm sure others would still buy them too?

**MacCall**

And both together.

I don't know. I just make a sketch, take some wood and a Cutter and start working.
Maybe I will try to make some more detailed drafts for the next building, scan and post them.

**Necros**

Looks great. I was thinking about doing something similar where each building gets a square base and you can stick them together like that and you can build a whole table out of building tiles. I just need a lot of time and shelf space

**FarseerAndyMan**

Those look terrific!!

What are you going to name your saloon?

**MacCall**

I thought about "Red Corner".
But I don't know yet. I'm open to suggestions.

**RiTides**

This looks great, but feels like it's so much work! When you could have a laser cutter do it for you.

But a human laser cutter works, too
