Ed,
Get him some pictures of the Londontown mill at Woodberry... Much more model-able footprint, and more interesting details, IMHO...

The mills in Dover are pretty much void of ornate detail if thats what you are refering too. They follow the Lawrence MA designs so they are pretty much "straight forward"  I'm scheduled to take a train to Manchester on Friday so hopefully I can get some of the really nice detail in the Amoskeag mills.

Guys,

Thanks for the photos.

I have been working on the N Scale mill kit and the pilot is almost done. It resembles the mill in your photos, but not as big.

I have been very pleased with the way the bricks and windows came out.

I'll post photos when I get the pilot model done.

Here is a shot of the N Scale Woolen Mill in progress. I am still working on trim pieces and the roof shingles, but this gives you an idea of where this kit is going. Hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks. I am waiting for supplies to arrive to begin production. The kit will include everything you see in this photo including the retaining walls.

Looks great Bernie, what are the dimensions? Can it be unfolded as a background building.

The main building is about 3.5 by 7.5 inches.

To unfold it on the backdrop would be fairly simple. You could use the central tower to cover any seam, though the pilasters could also be used in that way. The end walls can be cut using a razor saw.

That's REAL pretty, although, only 7.5"? That's a pretty small mill... they must've been pioneers in microfibers

The dimensions are based on an actual woolen mill in Charlottesville, VA. No selective compression.  This kit is just a part of the mill. This part was built in the Civil War era. It was gradually expanded. One could easily expand the model mill complex by getting multiple kits.

Once the kit is in production, I'll include in the instructions photos of the prototype as well as several other similar mills in New England and North Carolina for additional detailing ideas.
