Title: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: postalkarl on April 09, 2018, 02:18:08 PM
Hi All:

I will be starting shortly. Lynn B And I will be building this guy together as we did with the pile driver. I think Reading Bob said we was gonna start his shortly so maybe he will join in with us. I will be interesting to see our different takes on things.

Hi Karl,

Yep.  I'll be joining the fray as well.  I'll be starting this one in a week or two.  Like you said, it'll be fun to see the different take on things.   :D

Hi Dave & Bob:

Thanks for following along. Glad to have you aboard also Bob. Walls are primed both sides with earth per the instructions. The Shingle templates are also applied. The instruction say use white glue. I used 3 M double faced adhesive. Much much easier. Probably took less than half the time. I have to catch up with Lynn.

here's a photo.

I have 3m tape , I should have used it, would have saved the warping. Karl you're so Smart ;D

Umm Karl, you were suppose to leave the shingling templates with the openings still on the templates. :o
Bob's going to love watching us struggle and learn from our ways. ;D

Karl your shingles look great using the 3m tape as an adhesive, can you tell me how do you manage to keep the shingles inline?
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: postalkarl on April 14, 2018, 07:15:14 PM
Hi Lynn:

OK here's how I do it.  I cut a strip of shingles off long enough. Then I place the strip between the the thumb & fore finger of my right hand. I place the thumb & fore finger of the other hand on the strip and pull lightly while also pulling downward straightening the strip of shingles. This will take the curve out of  the shingle strip. I then place the strip on the guide line pulling and pressing down as I go. When that's done I use a pop sickle stick to burnish the row down  where it hits the double faced tape. This works rather well for me. Hope you dcan figure it out.

Hi All:

Lynn:

As you can see I did away with notching the walls for the bracing.

OK the top haves of the walls are shingled, windows and large freight doors are installed. Next I will assemble and stucco the walls and add the rest of the windows and doors.

Karl
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: Lynnb on April 18, 2018, 03:55:05 PM
Looks great Karl the wall colors look terrific and go nice with the green, I'm about to install the windows today. I take it you didn't care for the idea of notching the walls. You just have to be aware of the flex on the two ends now because of the pretty much lack of horizontal brace.  :)
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: postalkarl on April 18, 2018, 04:16:36 PM
Hi Lynn:

I added extra bracing. Don't think I'll have a problem.

Walls are assembled. two walls have been stuccoed. They are painted with Depot Buff, Light A&I and dry-brushed with light gray. Then dry-brushed lightly with Depot Buff. Hope they look OK. I straightened the crooked tire casting.

Hi All:

I'm not happy with the stucco color. I'm changing it to aged concrete per the instructions. Will take photos when finished.

Karl
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: Lynnb on April 19, 2018, 09:11:58 PM
I did mine with aged concrete, I found the aged concrete too dark so tinted it , railroad tie brown heavily tinted on the shingles, it is a nice combination. I think your stucco maybe is fighting with the colors with the curtains.
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: postalkarl on April 19, 2018, 10:31:35 PM
Hey Lynn:

You may be right on the curtain comment. What did you tint the aged concrete with.

Karl
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: Lynnb on April 19, 2018, 10:49:15 PM
Karl I used the floquil aged concrete and the floquil reefer white for tint, I also use methyl hydrate to assist in the flow/thinning.
Title: Re: Bailey's Produce FSM Jewel Series #2
Post by: postalkarl on April 20, 2018, 05:34:33 AM

Sorry Karl was misthinking, it's http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/lacquer-paint-thinner-0497112p.html#srp it's paint thinner. Replaced my floquil thinner with it, good for track cleaning as well.

Hi All:

Decided to do my roof in all corrugated. Need some advice. Want to know what you guys think. I painted it the same color green as the rolled roofing and want to know if you guys think it looks OK before I glue it in place. Or I could make a new roof with rolled roofing to match the res. Need you advice.

Post by: Lynnb on April 24, 2018, 01:18:25 PM
Karl personally I don't like it but then again I purchased this kit because of the presentation George applied to it. I will be honest in the fact that I have often wondered if they had colored metal roof back in the 30's which is when I model. I really feel that the green roffing makes it look too modern but again you didn't say what you were striving for in the era look and the overall finished condition of the building. Again I must point out I have often been drawn toward Georges kits for many reasons but mostly the way he presents them, if I were an engineer I would certainly frown at some of the designs , ie a thousand gallon water tank on top of a building. ;D

Looking great, Karl!

The oxide red roof looks much better. The green colour didn't quite work with the rest of the structure.  Below is a link to a NZ painting company with information on colours.  As you can see green was in use as early as 1870 on corrugated iron roofs.  I model the early 1930's and limit my corrugated roofs to green, red and silver/ grey.  In Canterbury people used to paint their veranda roof sheets alternatively red and black - Canterbury colours.

I really love reading your build threads and I've read them all. The modeling is outstanding. But the biggest inspiration I get is your choice of color. I find it very helpful when you show the colors you use

Hi Dave:

It's pretty simple. Apply shingle to roof as they come with the kit. Then lift shingles here and there. Hit them with light A&I stain. Let dry and go over the lifted shingle again. Then dry-brush with light gray. I used Apple Barrel #20526 Country Gray. Hope That helped.
