Scratch Built Warehouse

[@MMRails]

“I don’t know what it’s called, but it looks good” lol. That’s what I say about almost everything in my train room. Awesome build! Love it. Can’t wait to see it with lights.

[@scrapbookrail]

what an awesome build, so much inspiration, I have some warehouse fronts to do for mine need to have a push on mine lost the drive at the minute with work and a gearbox rebuild at home, but this is giving me the drive to want to get on with it, the weathering and graffiti are spot on thanks for sharing Pete

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey Pete thanks for the nice comment dude and im glad this is motivating ya! Argh dont get me started on cars, I just had a new clutch put in my WRX so that set me back 2,000, a good chunk out of the modeling budget so I understand your pain man, especially if your doing the rebuild yourself after a full day on the grind! Just not enough hours in the day, hopefully it all works out for ya dude and ya can unwind and chill out with ya layout 😎

[@scrapbookrail]

@@TheSteelRoad hopefully going to be finishing it this week so then i can get back into the layout, love the sound of the WRX, so beefy sounding,

[@TheSteelRoad]

@@scrapbookrail hell yeah man what sort of car is it your working on? Ah the sound of a boxer engine is incredible dude thats the main reason I brought it lol I havnt even worried about installing my sound system as the exhaust rumble is music to my ears 😂

[@brummi9983]

Cool implemented. Looks very real !!! Top !

Thanks my friend much appreciated! 😎

Model railroading is supposed to be fun and you certainly make it so. Thank you for the satisfying video and great warehouse ideas. You have surprisingly good tagging skills. 😉😉😁😁

[@TheSteelRoad]

@paradeshafarms1811 thanks mate i appreciate that 🍻 im glad you enjoyed the video

[@ModelingSteelinHO]

Fantastic build ! I use plastic corrugated signs as a backbone. Covered in 30LPI lenticular lense. Lenticular lense looks like corrugated sheet metal. It's expensive but looks the part of HO sheet metal. Great build. Thank you for sharing your talent with modelers world wide.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it 😎 You know what, as I was building this I was thinking about what other things I could use as the backbone and those corrugated signs popped into my mind as I had drove past a house that was for sale and thats the sort of stuff they use for their "for sale" signs! So thanks for that tip man ill definitely be trying that on my next build!

[@ModelingSteelinHO]

@@TheSteelRoad Can't wait till your next build. Your imagination is strong. Enjoy your creativity & materials thinking. That is what makes a truly great scratch builder. You Sir,have that God given ability. Not many people have this gift present day.

Bitchin building. Great use of all different parts and pieces and great paint work.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks man! Yep always hold onto them random bits n pieces they always come in handy!

[@johnathanlewis2049]

Very nice and grungy looking building. The tagger crews will attack just about any untouched or clean looking piece of space on a building or locomotive or rolling stock unfortunately. I was a security guard. I’ve written more reports about graffiti than I can count. Looks great!

[@trentonlee9700]

Looks great man I'm going to steel it and make it in N scale.

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers man! Hell yeah ill look foward to seeing how it turns out 🤙 my fingers are to big to try N scale 😂

[@trentonlee9700]

Coming in to modeling season with the kids going back to school. Going to give this a go. Can I get the demensions of your building then I will just convert to N scale.

[@TheSteelRoad]

@@trentonlee9700 good stuff man, yeah as soon as I get home ill get the dimensions for ya 🤙

[@TheSteelRoad]

So the measurements are 450 mm long, 90 mm wide and 80 mm high, I dont know what that is in inches though dude

[@MLWQC]

Your cold storage warehouse is superb! Great job! Agree that following drawing can be tedious, plus they need to be custom "fit" to a location as well. That is a good idea the balsa box with styrene. again well done

[@TheSteelRoad]

Thanks so much man! Haha there was a time when i did follow drawings and plans but they never turned out the same so now i just wing it 😂 cheers for stopping in dude 😊👍

[@Tom.Gregory]

[@UP5491]

New subscriber here! I’m in AWE at your thought process for coming up with these structures and your building, weathering and painting skills! Your graffiti painting is mind blowing never would of thought of doing that myself with the masking tape. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing how your layout comes along!

[@TheSteelRoad]

Hey thanks Chad much appreciated mate! Im glad you found these techniques helpful 😎 thanks for the sub too, subbed back 😎👍

[@ronduz1281]

What would charge for a building like that

[@TheSteelRoad]

Ooh its hard to tell man, these sort of builds take a few weeks as I just do a little bit after work between other projects and also depends on what materials I use. This one wasnt cheap to make the styrene was about $60 its really expensive here in Australia, but if I was to use card stock or left over pieces it would probably be cheaper, They are fun projects to work on but as always just aint enough hours in a day 😂

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

This looks fantastic, great job, did you scratch build the doors too ,excellent work

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers James! The doors were actually left over from a walthers kit 'magic pan bakery' but everything else was scratch built. I sometimes go to the dollar store and just buy cheap toys and take them apart to build sci-fi pieces so ive always got random bits laying around and i always keep leftovers from other kits

[@paulc1964]

Excellent what tape did you use as i was expecting Half the paint to come off when you. Removed it?

[@TheSteelRoad]

Cheers dude! The brand is "scotch 233+" from bunnings, its got a really low tackiness to it so its perfect for this, plus I use top quality paints too so they bond really well

[@paulc1964]

@@TheSteelRoad awesome thanks where in aus are you?

[@spankyfuentes3502]

Is that green frogy tape your are using to mask that off?

[@TheSteelRoad]

yeah just regular old masking tape mate, I think the brand is 3M or scotch
