Good afternoon everyone. I worked out a few of the smaller details over the weekend.


I finished the tarpaper roof over the rear freight doors.


Here is it mocked up in place. It won't be fully installed until I mount the structure to the base. I am combining this structure with SW Quincy Salvage, once I get all the main subassemblies completed I will begin work on that kit.


I mocked up the corrugated metal roof on the side of the welding shop. I'm not finished weathering this roof but I will wait till it's installed against the shingle roof to finish it.

Here is another overall shot. I also added the small porch on the tower.

Thanks for checking in, next step is the tank.

Love the different types of roofing , the tower is sure a highlight.
I love photo's, don't we all.

Thanks Jan, I think every type of roofing is represented in this kit. Even 2 different types of corrugated metal.

Thanks Ger, John and Donato.

I completed the tank assembly today. It's a super easy and very cool detail.


The tank was first colored with black Rust-Oleum camo paint, black primer would work fine as well. The letter was done with a stencil and some light gray automotive primer. Everything was weathered with pastel chalks, applied dry.




I moved all the sub-assemblies of this kit on the shelf, I won't be building it any further until I build SierraWest Quincy Salvage. The 2 kits will be combined into a large salvage/used oil and welding industry.


I cleaned my workbench off, ready to open up the box and get started.

Thanks for checking in, I plan on starting another thread for the Quincy portion. Stay tuned.

Wow, what a nice clean organized desk!  The only time my desk looks like this will be when I set it up after we move :-(

The buildings came out great.  I'll be interested to see how you combine the two kits.
