Somewhere at the end of the nineteenth century, the brother’s Oddmunn took over the family mill. With their new, more youthful perspective, they brought with them the technology of the time: steam — but their renovations are still afoot. Under construction is the new engine shed, housing a large horizontal mill engine that powers the machines and grinding stones inside the mill. With this new conversion, fusing old and new together, a new life has found it’s way into the tiring branchline industry.

This fictional story and scene was born from my own reality. As a newcomer to kit design and manufacture, I found myself bringing a new technology, too: 3D-printing. The printers available today produce details that are UNRIVALED in any other medium and therefore, over the course of hundreds and hundreds of hours, every single detail in this kit has been researched, designed and 3D printed bringing a whole new level of detail for HO. There’s even a woven texture in the grain sacks!

Initially inspired by George Sellios’ Oatman’s Mercantile (that’s where “Oddmunn” came from), I originally set out to create a mercantile of my own. This adventure quickly expanded into designing an entire mill, and then an entire branchline industry. Now all that remains of that original inspiration is the false storefront — and the pigeons! Yes, I made my own 3D pigeons!

Nevertheless, my aim with Oddmunn Brother’s Mill remains: to bring back some of that whimsy and color I dearly miss from George’s line of Fine Scale Miniatures kits.
