The Mill Engine for my "coming soon" Sawmill.
Greetings,
Eagerly awaiting my copy of the 0-scale sawmill, I am starting what I already have in parts. I had the Mill engine and boiler buildin kit already. I am using the building as an outbuilding behind a gas station and garage as it is not needed for the sawmill. This is my first attempt with Brett's castings.
I used my own concrete method and re-made the pad it sets on. Real concrete and not painted on resin. The build took me 4 days of construction to this point It will have to be installed for the rest of the build. I have a little more painting to do on the governor balls and fitting. One was broken off and re-glued, so not quite the same.
It is painted with Flouquill flat green, and Alcohol and Ink for the oil and grease, Thin chalk rust wash for some rusted where the steam condenses on the pipes. After install a little sawdust and tone down the color with chalk dust, but for now it will be like this until installation.
Building from the Mill engine kit now as an outbuilding for my Gas station.

The shingles are my own make using the Alcohol and black ink and brown dyes.
