100 Alpacas, a Railway Engineer, and how I built an N Scale 5-Storey Mill from card

How I built a realistic, multi-layered N scale 5-storey Victorian mill entirely from card, cereal boxes, and printed textures. Fairweather Mill is one of the oldest industrial buildings in Chandwell. In this video, follow the full scratch-building process - from layering card for deep window reveals and cutting curved arches to weathering acetate windows and building detailed roof dentils - along with the strange local history behind the mill. 📍 Layout: Chandwell (West Yorkshire N Scale Railway) 🏆 Project: RailStuff 'Make A Scene 2026' Competition Hexagon 🚂 Rail Stuff – Make a Scene 2026 Competition https://rail-stuff.com/pages/makeascene 📘 Facebook (ChandwellYorks)   / chandwellyorks   ⭐ Become a Channel Member    / chandwell   ☕ Support Chandwell If you would like to support without becoming a member, please consider sending me a "Super Thank You" by using the "Thank you" button under the video #Chandwell #ModelRailway #NScale #ModelMaking #Miniature #FairweatherMill #WestYorkshire #railwaymodelling 00:00 - Introduction to Fairweather Mill 00:40 - The History of Timothy Fairweather 01:08 - Constructing Multi-Layer Card Walls 01:22 - Elena Fairweather & Mill Lore 01:49 - Cutting Curved Window Arches 01:58 - Applying Scalescenes Textures 02:36 - Titus Salt & The 100 Alpacas 03:00 - Assembling the 3D Mill Structure 03:24 - Adding Card String Courses 03:38 - Wheeler's Plumbing Supplies Apprentices 04:16 - Creating Glazing & Broken Windows 04:44 - Brick-Infill & Grimy Glass Effects 05:16 - Interior Floors & Mill Depth 05:28 - Scratch-Building Cornice Dentils & Gutters 06:04 - The Dye Drying Works 06:30 - Fairweather Mill in Place on Chandwell
