mbinsewiJust one thing....that paint cabinet has to go! That is just too neat
Mike is right! You should be ashamed of yourself for embarrassing all of us like that!
Nice rock!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
RWSlater Hello everyone, It is time for another update on the Grizzly Valley. I have been slowly working on building the Long Valley Lumber company kit from N Scale Architect. Over all the quality of the kit is very nice, The only two things I do not like about it was the printed roofing and some of my parts were severely bowed and warped before I did anything to them finishing wise to cause the warping. I braced all the walls before finishing the walls and installing the windows. I have had to use CA glue on the walls to help work out the bows in the kit parts but in the end It came out looking pretty good. I used construction paper and corrugated roofing on the main part of the building. I used gloss medium ad black paint to make up the roof tar. I know it’s a little heavy to be to scale but at a normal viewing distance it looks pretty good. Also the tar makes the roof look more aged to me. Still have more work to do wreathing the roof. Still have more to do on the kit . I may have to rework the track plan around the mill. It is just way larger than I was planning on but it will look great once it is done. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Robert Picture of the Long Valley Lumber (Box Art) This is what comes in the kit, As you can see some parts were pretty bowed. Here is my work so far. As you can see from this shot it is a large kit.
A few years ago I begun to build this kit.
But not as proposed, I needed for a corner of my layout a big structures to hide a long wall surface.
I rearranged the building and cut it into parts to make a long building.
Many details were scratchbuild and added.
Because I emigrate to Canada this year, work is stopped on this structure, but will be finished as soon as my layout was put in his new home, because I bring it with me.
some pictures as well.....
I guess you did do some serious bashiing! Looks like quite a complicated structure.

Yes because I want to expand it as long as possible to hide a part of wall; but may be the final location and the arrangement will change, since my layout go over the Atlantic in the coming months, and his new space is far different as the old one here in Europe.
By chance, the building is not finished and I can easily rework it a bit to fill a new space, which will be probably the case for sure.
I will post some more pictures because this structure is not already packaged.
