Hat Factory start

I have started on the hat factory model.  It has presented some challenges.  I started with the Design Preservation Models Laube's Linen Mill kit - one of the few kits I still have.  It would have been easier to just build it from scratch.  In any event, the brick structure is the kit and the wood part that covers the back area and the rear  part of each side is scratch built.  This is obviously a work in progress.

I modified all of the windows in the kit.  The windows in the wood part are by Tichy.  I have put some rudimentary details inside the lower floor of the brick structure as they may be visible when the structure is complete.  There will be a loading dock between the two structure sections.

Lots more work to be done.

The rear section of the left side will be covered by part of the wood structure so I did not bother changing the windows.
