Built this great kit when it first came out some years ago. It now takes center stage in my now completed
town of Tacoma. Am following along to see how you might alter the look and placement. And yes, I love
those signs.

I always enjoy watching your builds come together.  This is one of my favorite FSM builds, although having said that there are so many which are favorites! Brodie's is a beaut!  It has wonderful lines.  Beautiful work as always.

Great job Karl. That's a really nice blending of textures/media/surfaces (what's the right word?). I really love the shingled walls and the roof color best.


John
Title: Re: Skinner's Row JS#6 By FSM
Post by: postalkarl on November 03, 2015, 09:40:06 AM
Hi John:

Thanks for the compliment. The Roof Color Is Model Masters SAC Bomber Green (A military color). I use It a lot as it is a nice mellow green color. Also use Wal Mart flat red primer. Almost an exact match for Floquil Zinc Chromate Primer.  The shingles are, I think, Campbell Scale Models. I really like them as the look great when you lift and weather them. They Are painted Floquil Earth, A&I wash And dry-brushed with Floquil Antique White.

Side Stair well is next. Then this building will be finsihed. Then I have to build the abandoned shed that goes between it and the tavern. Then I shall glue to the base and do scenery around these two buildings.

Hi Frank and rest of the guys:

Thanks. The vine was there so I put it in. What it needs is some of the same color on the ground to blend it in.

I decided to finish one of the Bootleggar's wall to see how they would look. I chose the left wall as it had the sign and more detail. Here's a Photo let me know what you think OK.

Appreciate your complement. I really like George's Kits also and you are right he always gets the textures down really well. He told me this particular kit sold out in 2 or 3 weeks. It is a great kit becasue of all the details.  I have very much enjoyed building it so far. I'm building it for a friend and I'll probably get another after this one.

Hi Jan:

Thanks for the compliment. Glad you like the sign. The frog a button from the ladies store. Joann Fabrics probably. I have others also. Fish, stars and I believe anchors.
