FOS Scale Models "Oyster Hill" HO kit #200

[madharry]

The middle section walls which will link the two parts of the building together. These are made from corrugated wood panels. They were painted a dark grey and then I used a sponge to add an ochre colour before using chalks and Bragdon powders. This is the first time I have used this method as I normally use Campbells aluminium duly etched. I am pleased with the result. There will further weathering when it is joined up with the two other parts of the structure.

Mike,
Great progress photos of this FOS limited run kit.
Hope the move to the new location went well and you now have more room for the hobby.

What a great burst of progress, Mike.  Everything looks excellent. I love the different materials in the basement and upper story portions.  You captured each texture very well.

Well done so far.

Thanks very much Dennis, Jerry, Curt, Bob, Mark, Karl, Tommy, George and Tom!
The multi-floor building had to be corrected a little. However I am happy with it now. I have added the roof and cut the rafter tails. All 26 of them. I will leave that task until tomorrow. I can do Greg speed as well! The little billboard will then be offered up to the roof. The door is missing from the kit. I think is quite common as other modellers have said there's was missing too. I believe it should be a Tichy plastic one with a double window over the door. I think I have one at the other house. But as we are all in Tier 4 lockdown I cannot travel there at the moment.

Looks great Mike!  I really like the variations in colors of the boards.  The billboard is quite nice too.  Heck, it all is.

On a different note when the news was on the other night there was a segment where your Prime Minister was speaking.  My wife made the comment "Somebody really needs to get that man a comb."

Love the billboard.

Boris really needs a proper haircut. I think he needs to visit my local barber "Baldies". And guess what like all taxi drivers my hair dresser knows how to run the country with apologies to George Burns,,,,,,,,,, Thanks for the nice compliments Bob................
