Title: Carolina Craftsmen Kits Newport Hardware
Post by: Janbouli on April 16, 2017, 04:45:11 PM
My first CCK kit in H0 , here's the box.

(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.janbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fh0%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fnewphw%2Fnewp1.jpg&hash=a9918fe6b8050cbea509c4900b049cf0f9c57098)

And here are the contents.

The instructions , a bit minimal , but I had no problems building this kit.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.janbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fh0%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fnewphw%2Fnewp3.jpg&hash=5ab4ca1fe4e2b22dd309c81efad43fadb29235ae)

Started with bracing the walls.

An A&I wash.

Followed by painting the walls.

Painted the doors and windows. All paints on this kit are Vallejo, but I have several greenish colors and can't exactly remember which ones I used on this build.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.janbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fh0%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fnewphw%2Fnewp8.jpg&hash=7b8c5ef893a1476b27fa050e85c69827e1ccf955)

Fit the front doors to this frame by cutting off a piece in the length and sanding so it fitted nice and firm together.

Corbells assembled.

Jan,

I love this kit. I bought one from Jeff a couple of months ago. It is really a neat structure.

I'm following along and you are certainly off to a great start.

I'm anxious to start another Jeff structure but need to get the rural scenery finished.

The curtain are fantastic. I'm sure women are living on the second and third floors.

Well done, very well done.

Post by: Todd W. on April 19, 2017, 03:26:25 PM
Jan, the curtains are a great touch!  I have used real fabric before for a dress shop and millinery, ho scale bolts of cloth material and stacking them on a back loading dock.  My wife was not overly thrilled about me sneaking into her sewing room and cutting swatches of cloth from her supply but it turned out pretty cool and gave it a realism that many people who visit comment on.  She is not going to like it when I try your curtain and drapery effect....LOL  Beautiful model all the way around, I will be following this thread.

Thank you all for your very much appreciated compliments, I'm loving this kit and the Majestic kit too much , the Dark side is pulling me towards it . Need to build some N-scale kits very soon or I'm lost for the cause.
