July 2024 in HO Scale Builds
Hope everyone’s summer is going well. Having finally finished a non-SWSM kit that took forever, I’m finally ready to take the plunge and get cracking on the Logging Camp Diorama. As most of you already know, this is made up of four kits: Logging Camp Main Street and Essentials, the Loco and Service Shops and the Donkey Repair Yard. Here is the layout plan from the site
I plan on laying the buildings all out and I may reorder the buildings a bit and re-size the overall diorama to be a bit bigger than the 2’ x 4’ layout just to give things a bit more room.
First up is Logging Camp Main Street which was released in 2007 when I was a freshman in college. So needless to say, even if I knew about SWSM and Brett had priced the kit at $15, I would not have been able to take part in the original run. Was lucky enough to get my hands on a mint condition kit through the wonders of the internet.
As usual with Brett’s kits, there are a boatload of castings. This run it was all resin and white metal-- no 3d printing just yet! I have already primed them.
Summer has been pretty busy but have made good progress on the Hotel portion which is the first building. Some pics attached below. Will try to take a few more in progress shots as I move along. As always, any feedback and constructive criticism is welcome.
My thought here is to model the logging camp on upstate NY, in the Adirondacks, which is about 2 hours north of me. So have had many a summer and winter visit. That being said, I am trying to get a more “wet” look to the wood so more brown than gray. Timeframe is the 1920s-30s so thought is no one is really visiting the site any longer and hotel has started to fall into disrepair. The other buildings will still be in good order as it’s an active camp but the end is in sight. Doing some research, the camps in NY really did die out pretty early as they were obviously logged extensively from colonial times on. So this timeline may be a bit of a stretch.
Thanks everyone for checking in. Have been so inspired by some of the builds of these four kits on the forum and I am really looking forward to the journey ahead.

Essentials was my first SWSM kit. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box that it was 2’ x 4’!! Must have missed the fine print. I reused some non-SWSM structures for the Loco, Donkey and Main Street sections so I’ll be keeping an eye on your take on these SWSM kits. Thanks for posting; it’s been a slower time on the Forum of late.

Hey Al. Yes it’s been slow in here. Summer time is in full swing so think it will get busier as the weather cools off. I had to buy essentials from a guy in Australia…not many of those around.

Thanks Brett, Art and Nick for checking in. The diagram is indeed tucked away but was an exciting find. Four kits to work on-- how cool.
Got one wall of the Dry Goods store done to test color and overall look-- going for still in good use but showing age. And for that more Northeastern “wetter” look to the wood. Used a combination of chalk and oils and am pretty happy with the results. Bottom right corner intended to show water damage from the pipe on the roof (still need to add some rough interior framing behind it) and will carry that over to the corner of the roof as well. If it doesn’t look good when in place, can always throw a casting in front of it.

Well this thread is a bit dusty. Finally back in the swing of things modeling wise after trying to squeeze the most out of the end of summer that I could. Made a nice long trip to the Outer Banks in NC which was such a beautiful part of this country. Unfortunately that meant I had to miss out on the Narrow Gauge show but do plan to go next year. Hope everyone that made it has a great time!
(Note: none of these are mine. That is how I am able to find the time and money for these kits…)
Finished up the Hotel and Dry Good store. Messed up the hotel sign a bit so I am going to leave the mounting post up on the wall and have the sign on the ground–maybe up on sawhorses like it is being fixed?
Front
Left side
back
Right Side
The right side with all the signs and piping on the hotel is so cool.
As always with Brett’s kits, the instructions are excellent and easy to follow but allow a lot of room for personal touches.
The chimneys look a little wonky so will go to fix those.
Onto the Equipment Warehouse which, with the brick walls and sagging roof is really the star of the show for this kit. These wide boards (to be painted red) are perfect for adding a lot of character and weathering.
Woke up this morning and it was in the 40s! So prime modeling weather is incoming.
Hope you all are well and thanks for checking in.

Update on Main Street. Got the old equipment barn up. Love that sagging roof that Brett designed and the laser cut at the top made it so easy to get it to sag. I decided to do the shingles out of stained 1 x 6s as seen on Steve’s post on this forum. Really liked how they turned out and a lot easier than I thought they would be. Most annoying part was cutting them with the Chopper.
For the barn walls, I grained the wood and stained it with the new method of alcohol and chalk. Then I damp brushed it with a mix of cheap acrylics at the color I was going for. Brushed it with a steel brush again and then attacked it with some fine steel wool to take some of the paint off in certain areas. Then you have to stain it again (I used oils and mineral spirits to avoid messing up the acrylic) to cover any bare wood. Time consuming but fun and the layering helps bring out some depth, I think.
The three walls of the old office came apart in my hands when i moved it for the photos. Oh well, I want to replace one of the corner trim pieces anyway…
The brick walls I primed matte black. Then sponged on some bricky colors randomly. I used joint compound for the mortar and then brushed the walls with a lightly damp foam brush. That took most of the color off the bricks, unfortunately so I went back and dry brushed some redder brick color in certain areas. I think it turned out ok. The concrete patches and lintels were painted with an aged concrete color and weathered with oils. Final weathering tbd once everything is in place. On to the brick addition corrugated roof. I hate doing corrugated so next challenge is to get that to look good. Open to suggestions! I may try the echtant as I will need to use that on the Sawmill later on and this roof is much smaller.
Now that the fall weather is finally here, I hope to get this one in the books at a quicker pace. Thanks for looking.

For corrugated roof panels, go to the “Techniques” folder and locate the posting by “Bill” entitled “Green corrugated roof panels”. This doesn’t use the acid. I adapted Bill’s approach using whatever I had on hand and I got a pretty good result.

It’s been a long time since I updated this. Holiday time is crazy for us all I am sure and work has been well work. I got the Equipment Warehouse done and that took longer then expected. Some photos below. Yard Office is 90% there and I promise some pics before I start on the final layout and scenery. Plan is to try to get this done before 2025 so wish me luck.
After struggling with the corrugated, I did decide to redo them. These were primed and then only chalk and alcohol were used to color. Pretty happy with the look and plan to use more often as I never liked how they painted.
Shingles underneath the tarpaper were done out of scale 1 x 6s. Easier than it sounds! Again, plan on doing this going forward.
Final two pics of the other sides. A great structure well designed as always from Brett. FInal weathering and tweaking to be done once in situ. I THINK that awning looks crooked from the angle of the photo but will confirm!
Thanks as always for checking in. Feel free to comment if there is anything I should change or take a second look at. As we all know, the camera never lies!

Happy New Year everyone!
My hopes of wrapping the first build in the Logging Camp Diorama up in 2024 were dashed by way too many holiday gatherings and a really nasty head cold I must have picked up at one of said gatherings. But I did manage to finish up the Yard Office and the yard fence so the end is in sight for all the buildings in this kit.
Decided to model the Yard Office as per the instructions-- in good repair–though in hindsight I wish I had added at least one rip! Oh well, there are a lot of castings around this building when all is said and done so I am sure it will not be noticed once it’s set into the diorama.
Not sure when the next update will be as this time of year is always busy for me at work and, more importantly, I have to figure out how big I am going to make this whole thing which will be informed by how I lay out this first of four kits.
Thanks as always for checking in. Any feedback or comments are always appreciated.
Front view. The deck is weathered with chalks and then finished with oils. Planning to set this in Upstate NY, the Adirondacks, so wanted a more “wet” look to the wood. May add some more castings when this building is planted. Don’t want to overwhelm the scene and know that the scrapyard mini scene is going to be in front of this deck.
The roof with all the assorted shi—stuff on thrown on top. I plan to spruce this up a bit once the building is planted. Feel it really needs some weeds or leaves to give it a bit more life.
TomMich
January 2025
Very nice! You can add some pigeons to the roof for some variety. Also How about a door on the cabinet. Have it opened slightly to see the contents. they are easy to make from scrap wood. all around I like the weathering and the details.
TravisS
January 2025
Thanks Tom. Good ideas all around. I’ll add them to the ideas pile I have for the castings.

Really looks good Travis! Excellent detail work all around. Only thing I see, after much scrutiny of all the great details, is a bit heavy on the rust streak off the stack on the side which just reflects my taste and would be fine as is. This beauty is going to look great with the rest of the structures. Well done.
TravisS
January 2025
Thanks, Ken. Tend to agree with you. That tarpaper really soaked in the chalk! Plan is to try and tone it down once it’s placed. Appreciate you checking in.

Right Travis. Rust chalk on a dark paper creates a stark contrast compared to wood or metal. Really good work.

Hey there. This is an excellent thread and I have to say that I feel your progress is amazing. I hope to learn from your builds! A quick question to ask of you. How did you get such nice weathered lines on the wood for this wall? I’ve tried all manner of brass / steel brushes both from thrift stores as well as those hobby brushes (Warhammer stores)…I just even can’t seem to get the grain / groove deep enough or find that they aren’t as random in terms of spacing/depth etc as yours.
Excellent work!
TravisS
January 2025 edited January 2025
Hey Gavin. Thanks for checking in and the kind words. Your Main Street build is looking great too!
I use a pipe fitting brush and really go after it. I get them on amazon (the original has lasted me through a few builds but is starting to wear out) but you should be able to get them from the hardware store as well. I tried a lot of other brushes but they were not giving me the really deep lines I wanted.
Also check out Ken’s clinic if you haven’t already. “Dr Grunge’s Advanced Wood Clinic” under the techniques tab in the forum. Print it out and study it! You’ll learn a ton.

So did not get this done by Jan 1…Got a nasty cold to ring in the new year and then other things got in the way. You all know how it goes.
Did get the First Aid building done so all four structures are accounted for. The roof was 1 x 6s cut to size, stained and individually applied. I am trying to model the Adirondacks of NY so did finish this off with an oil wash to make it look more “wet” than “dusty” and am pretty happy with how it came out.
I am deciding whether I want to build this as a separate diorama or wait until Essentials is done and build it all as one with room for Loco and Service and Donkey Repair Yard in the bottom left. Any insight here is appreciated. I’m anxious to get started on scenery as it’s really something I enjoy but think waiting might be the best bet. Thanks all for looking in.

Have been slowly working on the TONS of castings for Main Street so I can finally move to part 2a which is building all the structures for Essentials. I’ll then lay down Main St and Essentials together for the first half of to the overall dio. Here are some pics to prove I haven’t been idle!
The rusty old boilers especially I am really happy with. Those were all done with chalk. One the shelves and some of the wood items, I did finish them with oils to keep up the “wet” appearance I am going for. Final finishing to be done once everything is set in place.
Have maybe 2 dozen more barrels, crates, etc to do then will move on to Essentials. They are predicting some snowy weather up by me this coming week so hoping to finish those up and start on Bunk #1 in the next week or so.
Thanks as always for checking in.

Well this thing is dusty! Been slow going lately but have made a start on Essentials. Ran into a bit of a rut and didn’t work on any modeling for a while. I am sure most of you have been there. But, I can’t stand the heat and it’s been super muggy and hot lately so got Bunk #1 about 95% where I want it. Those photos are below. As with Main Street, the shingles are all done with scale 1 x 6s. grained and stained.
Once the four bunks are all done, I plan to go over each of them to make sure they are all “the same but a little different” if that makes any sense. Photos below. Thanks for checking in and as always, open to any feedback or tweaks I could try. Can already see some of the window frames are a bit askew-- photos always show what your naked eye doesn’t notice.

Here is a pic of all the primed resin castings from this kit. Brett has always been very generous! Had to go all the way to Australia to find this kit but it’s so cool. I of course read the manual to the end (multiple times) and cannot wait to get to the scenery portion.

Hope everyone is having a nice Fall. Very cold out by me in NY so you know what that means-- more reason to stay inside and get to the bench. I have been making slow but steady progress on this planned massive diorama. Have all the bunks done and just about finished the fuel depot. Didn’t really take pics as I went as all the bunks are pretty straightforward and similar in construction to Bunk #1. I’ll post each building in a separate comment and please feel free to point out any glaring issues.
Here is the aptly named “Bunk #2”. I didn’t have any issue with warping on the louvered roof as I saw on another old thread but it did take some patience to get the thin wood in the right slot:
TravisS
November 2025
And here is the “Shower and Latrine Car.” The instructions for this one was about 1/4 of a page long so goes to show how similar the construction was on these. I do plan to have some sort of drainage pipe coming out of the back but this will need to be done once planted so I can get a sense of where it should go.
TravisS
November 2025
And the “Cookhouse”. Really fun little structure and was VERY happy it was a tarpaper roof as I was getting sick of the shingling. Love the stack that Brett designed here and glad he went with the bigger and bolder one than originally designed. The extension area in the back I just stained with a very dark AI to differentiate from the natural wood color.
Bonus “Family Photo”:

Here is the Fuel Depot which is a very nice little structure. I had a ton of trouble with the roof. Didn’t really like the color I chose and had to fiddle with the end caps. Think it turned out OK once it was weathered and the details were added but may still try to play around with some of the spots. The porch and dock will have a ton of castings on them so will not worry about the overall weathering there until that time comes.
I’m going to finish up the Rigging and Tool sheds and then will start on the base. Very excited for that part! I’ll leave the beautiful station until then.
Thanks for checking in. Hoping to have more consistent updates once I start planting the buildings on diorama.

Rigging shed went walls up very quickly. For anyone that builds this, it fits perfectly on the “2” side of a 1-2-3 block. It does need a little support to ensure the walls dry straight as their is no fourth wall.

Morning All. Rigging shed is up. Final weathering to be done once planted. Roof will go on then too as you need room to maneuver all the awesome cable reel details. Here are some pics. Pretty straightforward construction with Brett’s design.
Diligently working on the Tool Shed. Also pretty straightforward with the laser cut stud base. Plan to have the doors wide open so will throw some castings in there from my hoard (and maybe a light!) . Let’s be honest, we all have a castings hoard and it feels bad to use any of them. These resin ones were all bough through various resellers and I don’t know how old any of them are but can imagine more than a few were a bear to cast. The detail, of course, is incredible.
That’s all for now. Thanks for checking in and hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

We have a tool shed! Fun little structure that lends itself to fixating on the stripwood. The dock will be covered in castings so saving the extra weathering there until all the castings are placed. Any feedback or call outs welcome and appreciated.
Experimenting a bit with lighting to get an ~effect~ and to highlight the few castings I added to the interior. This is Woodland Scenics “Just Plug” lighting system. I just superglued a small LED to a 1/8" square beam i used to reinforce the roof. Yes, it’s expensive but I am not messing with resistors and soldering…yet. Plan to try a bit more when I get to the Loco Service shop for real task lighting since the roof will be removable.
Starting to get a pretty full storage area with both Main Street and Essentials almost done. I will be building the Passenger Station next just so I know the sizing and to have all the buildings done while I am still on a bit of a roll with construction
