N Scale PRR Plan 57984-B TOOL SHED Kit now available at Keystone Details

[Lemosteam]

This kit is designed directly from the PRR Plans for the 57984-B Tool Shed. Assembly instructions are provided at the Shapeways link.  Each piece is flat so the surfaces can be sanded.  Some RP artifacts will remain in the crevices and should be gently scraped prior to paint.  I am still working out the most appropriate color scheme according to the Keystone Crossings website as there are no color images of this style of tool shed.  I recommend airbrushing or spraying the parts prior to assemby to avoid too much paint buildup. I have tested and assembled the FUD material design, and while delicate, is quite durable once built.

Note to all who purchase:  I am in the throes of developing several etched components for additional projects, and the sashes for this model are one of them.  They will not be directly available from Shapeways, but every confirmed customer order via Shapeways private message will receive a set of sashes for the model. These sashes are included in the price of the kit and will be mailed later, however they will not be available for a month or so whilst I work out the other parts needed to fill out the rest of the sheet for the etching.

Completed model, sans sashes:


The doors can be installed in the open or closed positions, and the threshold can be removed to have speeder track go inside the model. Roofing material and glass is NOT included.

Just an update- I now have the etched sashes in hand if you might have been waiting till those were complete.

Here is what they look like folded but unpainted:

Wow!
But what do you mean "folded"?  Isn't this just a relief-etched window?  What had to be folded on it?

@peteski , I wanted full thickness for sash and mullions so no half etch here.  This method will be especially handy for later designs of double hung windows.

Clever design!  Some rectangular double-hung windows done this way would be fantastic.

Got it!

@GaryHinshaw , YUUUUP!  Been in my brain's pipeline for a while!  This proves it will work, possibly even a double fold.

I've etched triple before. You can even paint before folding if you want a different colored frame.
