Afternoon All,

Unfortunately I don't have a decent picture to post of the structure but it appears to be 3 main buildings and some small attached sheds. Today I started on the Tichy window frames. I first painted them with Rustoleum Kahki. After that I used a makeup sponge to put on the red highlight color followed by 2 coats of A&I. To finish up today I sorted the different size wood strips. Tomorrow I plan on A&I'ing the wood strips and start on the bag of detail parts.

The colors that I am using are:

Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black for the interior and mixing winto the red.
Tamiya XF-5 Flat Green for the walls
Tamiya XF-7 Flat Red with Flat Black mixed in for wood trim and walls.

Nice start Curt!   :D  I'll be following along.  I've had the pleasure of seeing Doug's pilot model at the EXPO a few years back.  It's a beauty for sure.

Hey Curt:

Looks like you are making progress.

Curt,

Great start on this one. Can't wait to start mine.

The photo on the box is very bad. I'm surprised Doug let this go out like this. Anyway, I cleaned it up the best I could.

Here is a photo of FOS' R.E.A. Freight House.

Curt,


I'll be following along.  This is a very interesting structure with its different buildings, loading docks, etc.  It will look great on your layout. i grabbed this photo from Doug's website and enlarged it a little to better show what you are building.

Interesting how the color of the right side 2 story building in the first photo looks blue and then green in the one Tom posted.  ???

Off to a great start, Curt.

This will be a pretty sizable project.  I'll be watching your progress.  Colour scheme looks good.

Cheers, Mark.

Good start Curt!  Looking forward to seeing this one built.  I really liked it when it came out but I'd never have a place to use it.

Sorry, these are not the best quality photo's but here are a few I took of Doug's pilot model on display at the EXPO (in Altoona I think).

Really looking forward to this build, and thanks to Bob for the pictures of Doug's build.  Wish you had taken some shots of the back.
