It's hard to see, but in the corner, one edge of the front wall didn't get painted.      This will require some touch up.  I also forgot to put on the "cap" to the wall.  For this you use the left edge of the pieces the pilasters were removed from.  Pretty good fit.  Clever of the ITLA folks to think of this.  That's why I save all the "leftovers" until I'm finished with a kit, many of the pieces come in handy.

The concrete areas were sprayed with camo tan.  I couldn't resist putting them together to see how it looked on the layout. I think this will do.

Jeff

 The windows had many spots "blanked out".  I thought there were too many, so some where removed (and saved) before painting.  I can add these in other colors if I want.  the window parts were removed and the bricks sprayed with red oxide primer. 

Jeff

Again, the main painting of this is with spray cans.  The instructions suggest first painting everything black, and then the brick portions.  The windows were to be black, so they and the brick portions were attached to a baking sheet and sprayed in the airbrush booth.  

I forgot to post a picture of the two "add ons" that go into the areas where the large open areas on the front wall go.  One is a doorway and the other, an open loading dock with some crates.

Thanks for looking in, Marty.  I have built one of their kits and have two more in the stash. 

Jeff

Hope I can help move you to building one of these kits, BandOGuy.

Hi, Tom.   I haven't done much kitbashing, so this is new territory for me.  

Jeff

Wow.  Your finishes are amazing.  I love the newspapers in the window effect. 

Jeff

Morning all.

Lazy off day planned here, maybe a bit of work on the ITLA kit.  

Jeff

Morning all.

Good that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, Bob.  My countdown is approximately 22 months.  

It's also Patriot's Day for New Englanders.  Red Sox game starts at 1010 our time today.  I'll watch part of it as I need to go to the grocery store and do some outside chores today as it's going to be in the 70s.  

Might get the last spray painting color done on the ITLA build as well. 

Jeff

Great looking trestle, Mark.  Can that tiny Rio Grande engine really pull all those wagons?

Jeff

 You've done a great job with this kit.  So many angles, different materials and finishes.  Wonderful.

Morning all.

Wish I had only two more weeks of work.  Nothing exciting planned here, maybe some work on the ITLA kit.

Jeff

Morning all.

Could be worse Bob, I have meetings, work AND Doctor's appointments.  I'm at work now, it's not as fun as they show on TV.
