Grain Elevator Trial and Error

The model in the first photo looks great! The the wall surface and the low angle of the photo makes it look like 1:1 scale structure. The other photos aren't showing up.

If you ever decide to offer this as a kit, I'd be interested.

This will definitely be offered as a kit. I am preparing the instructions to be ready in time for the N Scale Weekend at the end of August in Pennsylvania. There will be three styles of siding (corrugated aluminum, clapboard, and the board and nail shown), and three styles of roofing (corrugated aluminum, asphalt shingle, or ribbed aluminum as shown). You can get any combination. I will announce it here in a new thread when ready. You can watch for that, or join my email list at my website, www.bergennationallaser.com, and I will email you when it is ready.

I programmed the laser not to raster in those places, basically.

Oh !  Yeah that's a good idea, I should try that.  They turned out nice for you, I'd be worried the cut areas would have lines or some sort of texture.

They probably do have texture which might actually help in achieving the faded paint effect.
