Hello everyone.

I recently completed work on a quick build of Carter Supply from Foscale I wanted to share. I changed a few things to give it my own touch.

Let me know what you think.



I didn't include the small corrugated metal shed to the left of the front of the building in my build. Instead I added a chimney, a small fence and some junk.






I changed the roofing on the main building from tarpaper to diamond shaped shingles. I made these using pinking shears. I colored the tarpaper smaller roofing with red to give it a little contrast.



The chimney casting is from BEST I believe. The smaller vent is from FSM. I'm not sure who made all the barrels and things. I pulled them out of my box of random castings.





Nothing real interesting back here. This area will not be visible on the layout. I changed the flat roofing also. This roof was done by spraying a card with black paint and sprinkling on fine cinders. It came out a little patchy but you wont be able to see it once I place it on the layout.






The pallets in the foreground are from Northeastern. I'm not sure about some of the junk on the porch. I think the hand truck is FSM.

Overall this was a nice kit and only took a few days to assemble.

Thanks for checking in.
