Hey Guys:

Got a fair amount of work done today with it's Laser cut skylights. Got the Main, cupola and cupola roof installed today.  Roof is painted with Rust-Oleum green primer. Cupola is stained with A&I. Rain gutters are painted with Ace hardware Red Oxide Primer as is the rest of the red trim. Roof is dry-brushed with Apple Barrel #20526 Country Grey. Hope it looks OK.

Roofing paper looks great!  I'll probably steal that approach for the roof on my little roundhouse.

Karl....... great build.......... cool colors. 


I only used aniline dye on mine.  I too was a 9.95 buyer in 1969.  In fact I was still in Viet Nam and a friend was kit collecting for me while I was gone.  Ten bux for a kit ! ! ! ! ! Holy comoly ! ! !     What we know now ! ! !

When I first built this (40 years ago) I was never really happy with the roof as it was too much of one color and yelled really loud.  Also I moved about 30 years ago to creating scenes on my railroad so this was a no brainer.

Those boys have been working on that roof for 30 years.  Must not be a union job.

Again Karl...... pretty cool build.

see ya

Karl,

The engine house looks fantastic. Even the  older FSM kits still look great when built.
