Sounds like your package was frozen, you probably have a claim against the carrier.  What a pain-in-the-ass.

Right there with you John - once had an issue with Scalecoat (Minute Man) paint that arrived in the same condition. Notified the company and they over nighted a replacement. Sadly that type of customer service is becoming rare.

I think this happens a lot with acrylic paints. I bought it through Amazon but their return it to their drop off site policy defeats the whole purpose of mail delivery.  It would cost me more to return it. I have a feeling that I'm going to be doing a lot less mail order purchasing when this virus thing is over.

Yes it is, and filling a claim cost me more than I through away on the paint. Lesson learned - moving on.

Today, I cut the baseboard for this build and did a rough fit for the structures in location on the layout.

Here are a few photographs of this process. At this point the baseboard will be brought back to my workbench and the structures will be glued on.

Very nice, John. Can't wait to see it all stitched in.

Thank you for the encouraging words - this one has a lot of stitching to do, yet. This afternoon, I got the main building glued down to the baseboard and started adding the adjacent buildings.

A couple more progress photographs.  The add-on buildings have been glued down and the roof cards added.  The glue is still drying on the right side addition.  The stonework has been colored - I used 6 different colors of chalk and applied it with Alcohol. I started with individual stones and then came in an blended it with my soft brush.












Next up: Roofing on the additional buildings and rafter tails. The rest of the detail castings have been primed and need the detail paint.
