Title: CCK Concord Street Houses
Post by: Vilius on August 05, 2016, 10:50:00 AM
This project is in the late stage already. I have posted couple of progress pictures on the daily thread before and intended to continue going that route but then I thought why not to do some advertisement for Jeff. That is, of course, if I am doing good job.

Villius,

Fantastic job on the Concord Street houses. I built them for Jeff and posted a thread on the old forum. These are wonderful kits. Aunt Ruth's House is another one that is an excellent kit but is no longer available.

My Concord Street build is here.

Wonderful!  I really like this line of CCK kits and what you're doing with them Vilius.

Tom's version of this particular one ended up being temporarily on loan to PennsyJ1, and placed on their layout, until I built the kit for them.  I now have one in my stash to build for myself someday.   :D

I love these that Vilius is working on.....he has a great eye for colors and attention to detail...as he builds these for me and gives me any suggestions for improvements, I plan to put these kits back out as individual structures......the Concord Street Series has been a popular series of structures....

Groovy Jeff,

By "these" do you mean Aunt Ruth's house as well? Inquiring minds and all that.

Great job Villius. I love the flat coloring and subtle weathering. You have a great eye!

Vilius,
After seeing your work on the forum I went out & purchased from a dealer Concord Street CCK1323 & The Shops CCK1477.  I do not know if I will have time to build them but they will do just fine in my stock of Fos Scale & FSM kits.
I know everyone has asked about the structures I am asking what did you se the the Base (street)

Mike,

Thank you for stopping by. For the base I used 3/16 thick gatorfoam which you can get from Gator Dave www.gatorfoam.net (http://www.gatorfoam.net) or other sources.

This is a re-post. Originally, I posted the pictures some time between the database backup and its crash so they all got wiped out.

That's really first-rate work. Your coloring and weathering is so "muted" and realistic. Very nice!

Outstanding work Vilius...we will be releasing these with the changes/improvements Vilius has mentioned to us.....they will be released as individual kits instead of as the pair....thanks again Vilius for your help on these and others you are working on for me....

Thank you doing this build.  The colors & weathering came out great.  The detail on the back of the structures is very pleasing.  I am glad that I was able to get these kits when you started the build
