I bought 2 of these from nscalelaser.com , a British one man firm making American themed lasercut kits. Finally an N-scale kit that is a mainstreet structure but not DPM.
These are the parts and the manual , the walls have first been coated with a textured paste from Lucas and then all the parts have been airbrushed with Vallejo Air Intermediate Blue and Sand.

The windows and doors are built up of several layers to create depth.

After all the layers are attached to the walls , and curtains and blinds included in the kit are in place the walls look like this.

These curtains are from a Kibri kit and the shop interior are photo's I googled and printed .

Then I assembled the walls , keeping them square with my steel cubes.

Adding the other halves of the chimneys, and the roof , everything fits without a problem.

That is looking extremely good Jan. Keep the pictures coming.
Jim
Very nice work Jan. ;)
Mike
Looks like a nice kit that goes together well.
Jeff
Nice looking kit and great job building it Jan. Sometimes you make us forget that you're working in N scale. It looks too good for something so tiny. ;)
Thanks for the compliments guys , appreciate it.
Very Nice Jan!
John
Thanks John.
Added the upper parts of the chimneys, and did some roofing. The roofing is done by painting the roof with a thick enough layer that it remains moist a minute or so, I then spread sand on it, let that soak in to the paint a half minute or so and shake off the sand that doesn't stick to the paint.

Some photo's of the finished building, this was an easy fun build and in my opinion looks better then DPM kits. Downtown Deco kits look somewhat better , but are also more difficult to build.

This mite be the site where the building will be placed on my layout.

Nice job on the stucco finish. Great looking structure.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff, appreciate it.
Good looking building Jan. A nice addition to your layout.
Thank you Steve.
Jan,
Great job on the build. I especially like the stucco on the front.
Tom ;D
Great job!
The stucco and realistic store front makes this a very unique looking structure. I like your color choices and the blinds look sweet as well!
Thanks Tom and Steve, very much appreciated. The stucco is a layer of the Lukas Structure Paste , and then airbrushed over that , the paste gives it the texture .
