Sauerkraut Distillery - HO Scale, Scratch-Built Paper Model

Mrs. Schnebley's Sauerkraut Distillery is one of the customers of my HO scale Ceresco & Wolf River RR. The model is my scratch-built paper copy of a Bar Mills kit ("Sal Manila's Eggs"). I added the silos and the industrial chimney.

I used clapboard siding, corrugated roofing, and other texture sheets from Clever Models. The doors and windows came from online texture libraries, all laid out in Photoshop Elements®. The stone foundation is from the Randsburg Barbershop kit, a paper model by Paper Creek (no longer in business.) The sign comes from somewhere on the Internet. I will add a loading dock and steps when I decide where the building will be placed on my layout.

George Taylor's Randsburg Barber Shop kit is available as a free download in the Architectural section of the PaperModelers.com forum. It's a little gem with very nice textures. And if you're a paper modeler and you're not a member of PaperModelers.net, slap yourself, than go join.

Here is my kitbash of the barbershop into a small shed. Except for a few pieces of stripwood leaning against the wall, it is all paper.
