Scale Model Railroading

Bar Mills Scale Models, the Maine based structure kit developer, has introduced a new HO Scale kit, The Barn On Rt.20.  The completed structure will be 9″ w by 3.5″ deep.  It is available at $89.95 each

“Here again… if you want the “same stuff” we don’t have it.  While we can’t always re-invnet the wheel we try to add a little “twist” of something different in each kit.  This time around ?… full interior laser-cut framing…  board-on-board construction… BUT NOT JUST ANY board-on-board… we had these specially milled with one side of the boards unsanded so we’d be able to get a “rough-cut” look when assembling the building.  Never been done before ?… we don’t think so either !
The windows & doors are laser-cut this time around… and the laser-cut shingle strips (and there are a lot of them) will keep you busy for hours !  Here again, this kit will be available on directly from Bar Mills.  We know this is a “special” one and won’t fit everybodys layouts… but we though it was cool.
The model pictured was built by Martin Collard of Borodino Scale Lines in upstate NY.
Aside from being a great modeler Martins’ store is the most unique craftsman-oriented store we’ve ever been to.
If it’s unique, hard-to-get, or just super cool or just the kind of “detail” you just can’t find anywhere else you’ll probably find it at his shop.
Here is the weblink… Martin runs the best “go-to” shop when it comes to detailed structure building that we know of… borodinoscaleline.com

This board-on-board construction technique will let you leave-off as many boards as you want (or don’t want) to.  Make this building really decrepit… or keep it more in the period you’re modeling.  Don’t want to add a window or door ?… just cover-up its’ opening.  Pretty straight-ahead…. and very creative !
Don’t let this visual simplicity of this kit fool you… it takes as much laser-time to make one of these kits as it would take to produce 2-3 average kits in the same price range !”
