Hi Guys:

Am starting Emporium Seafood Co today. We will be doing this A little differently this time. This will not be built as a diorama. It will be built as separate structures so it will be easier to install on my friends layout. I also don't want to do the water at this time. That way all the water can be done at the sdame time and will look the same.

As always a great start Karl.


But lets see the kit was 195.00  and the Driftwood Stain should be about 300.00 a bottle.
And you used half.


So you in about 300.45!!!  ;)

Yo Karl,
Looks like another winner in the making.  I sure hope you have a bunch of bottles of  "Driftwood" stain still available.  My collection dried up a long time ago.

;D ;D ;D

Really like this kit, Karl.  Look forward to seeing what you do with the parts.

I've been tempted to pull this one out of the stash and build it for quite some time now so I'll certainly have two eyes on this build.   :o  It's going to be a lot of fun to follow along with your build Karl!   :D  :D  :D

Hey Curt, Jerry, Bruce, Horton, Bob B and Tom:

Glad to have you guys along for the ride. This is actually the second time I've built this kit. But it some years ago for another friend but not as a waterfront model. It was built on the ground fro him. This time also not building it on base as my friend Jon thought iit wold be easier to install into a waterfront if not on the base.

Hey All:

Got some work on this done today. Main building walls are prepared and assembled. Painted, Windows with shades & Doors, signs and light weathering have been applied.

Hi All:

Instructions say to spray the windows & doors with Driftwood stain using an airbrush I suppose. Don't have one of thiose anymore so I had to figure something else out. You guessed it went to the Ace hardware. Used Rustoleum perfect gray Spray paint. They came out pretty close I think. I'm satisfied.
