Okay...I'm in. Kenny's got this cool seafood joint that will go well with KC's Tarr & Wonson, so I'm throwing my X-Acto into the ring.

Dave,

Kenny does have some cool kits. This one looks like it will be a fun build. I'll be following along.

Tom ;D

This is a neat looking building. I'll be watching your build for sure.

Here's KC's Tarr & Wonson, which I built early this summer, but t's been sitting alone and without a proper home since. Thought adding the new Pappy's would make for a nice diorama. Never done any seaport scenes before.

Post by: Dave K. on September 25, 2016, 05:48:31 PM

Come to think of it, Bob's Bait & Beer from KC's was also one I did this summer...surely it could use a homey seaport neighborhood, too!

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on September 25, 2016, 05:49:46 PM

So...off to the races. Did a parts inventory, sanded the edges of the walls, and began nail holes.

I checked Kenny's website maybe two weeks ago and the kit wasn't there. He must have slipped it in after.
I am looking forward to your build, Dave.

You must have just missed it, Vilnius. I believe it was released about two weeks ago.

Dave,

Any up dates on the build?

Tom ;D

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 06, 2016, 03:29:12 PM

Thanks for asking, Tom. The build is done, but it turns out I took all my pix in (D'OH!!!) black and white. Don't ask. Question is, should I just post the finished build or go ahead and do the thread anyway?

Great kit...goes together quickly with no problems.

Dave,

Whatever you choose is good by me. How about some photos in color of the finished build? Inquiring minds and all that.

Tom ;D

I agree color photos of the final build and B&W for the build would be of interest.

Well, after a hellacious September and early October I've emerged from hades and can get back to what really matters. I love Kenny's kits, and this one has turned out to be a really fun build. First, the goodies...

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 22, 2016, 07:43:16 PM

... and more "bits 'n' bobs" ...

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 22, 2016, 07:49:54 PM

This is where my embarrassing black and white pictures come in. Anyway, I distress the exterior of the wall pieces, add (GASP!) nail holes, add corner trim since it'll be the same color as the walls, brace the back side with 1/8" strip wood, paint the interior of the walls black, and give the whole shebang (exterior) an inkahol bath.

Upper layer dry brushed with Depot Buff. Bottom layer sponge-patted with that Karl Scholz favorite, Red Chromate primer.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 08:59:37 AM

Painted/weathered windows and doors. Installed in walls, glazed with acetate and added window shades.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:01:02 AM

Framed the loading doors and added a "concrete" apron.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:03:39 AM

Raised the four walls. In addition to the peaked roof there are two levels of flat roofing, so these cross walls get installed as well.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:04:11 AM

Then it's time for rafter tails...lots of rafter tails.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:07:43 AM

Oops...added wall signs first, THEN raised the walls.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:13:17 AM

The two flat roofs get roofing paper. Peaked roof is shingled.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:17:48 AM

More signs, trim for under eaves, rafter tails trimmed.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on October 23, 2016, 09:21:56 AM

The addition on the back is covered in corrugated metal and roofed with rolled roofing and a few battens.

Got some "normal" shots.

Thanks for stopping in. Lesson learned...if you convert to black and white, KEEP A COLOR SET! 🙄

Post by: Dave K. on November 04, 2016, 04:58:26 PM

A few additional steps as she nears completion. Accoutrements for the roof added. I think I need to add some roofing pitch (Gallery Glass Liquid Leading) around the feet of the sign.

The paper awnings need to be toned-down...maybe powders.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on November 04, 2016, 05:03:28 PM

Dock and corrugated metal awning.

Dave, the build has some lovely roof lines and colouring.

Title: Re: KC's Workshop Pappy's Seafood Build Challenge
Post by: Dave K. on November 04, 2016, 10:30:40 PM

I appreciate that. Roofs are not my strength. Fortunately the kit comes together beautifully.
