Yes, they say all molds are new and i have read here and there good comments.

Anyway i rarelly build a kit as is supposed to be built. Have two 'Taxi de la Marne' in 1/35 (from ICM) and at least one will become a covered van and it's passenger compartment will become a horse drawn carriage.

Example of brick work for steam engine

It's starting to shape up. I really look forward to your next series of posts. -- Russ

That prototype steam engine looks like it has been very well cared for.

 Ray The full storey of the steam Engine and saw mill can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezcxi6zRIuk

Hi Baney how are you.
You have two great projects going are you going to combine them or keep them separate?
Lovely work
all the best Kim.

Hi Kim - Same idea a Saw Mill but now a different location - Mr first attempt was a North American very big Mill but after 3 versions and a lot of frustration decided to go smaller more on the lines of an estates Saw mill found a lot of information on a Scottish estate and some lovely photos of a small mill here in England thanks to Nick - and started with the Tool Shed / stores - but Im a bit of a sun lover and decided to go to the sun shine areas in the South of France + there are lots of French vehicle kits available in 1/24th - So that's the storey so far Im back to "ONE project"
Im much happier and enjoying it all - the model builds and the research - after all that's what its all about our hobby and it keeps the rivet counters at bay !!

Hope that lot is not to confusing !

Basic ground cover down + a modified position for the steam engine  

Weathering for base of boiler and steam engine not yet completed and lego blocks to be faced with bricks

Next will be the planking of the saw mill deck after sorting the planks/floor boards reclaimed from the Scottish mill

It's really starting to shape up. Acceptable. -- Russ
