The New Mill

There are 2 mills in the Twin Mills kit. The "New Mill" and the Old Mill." The new mill has open sides with trusses built to hold up the walls. The floor sits at 2 different elevations to accommodate the log carriages, carriage drives and rails, etc. 
Everything is built on templates which makes for accurate, and repeatable structure modeling
The first 2 sections are completed except for final sanding and weathering. Having always been sloppy on the glue side of things, I've switched to toothpicks and a glob of glue on post it note to deliver canopy glue and or medium CA to the places needing gluing. I'm still learning, but sanding everything afterwards to get the best appearance possible is part of it. I'll let everyone know when I become a glue master, but don't hold your breath.

As shown the frames have been built over the template, which is over wax paper smoothed over the drawing. I've started the siding process as well. There are two windows on this side and although the siding initially covers the window openings I'll go back and open them up, apply laser cut window frames and make the window exterior frames.
Here are the complete building sides of the new mill, again without final sanding and weathering touch up.

Now its time to work on the trusses. You can see the template I've built for them on the upper left.
