Cool. Built this one, well 97% complete, a while back. I know who R.H. Starkey is but I won't spoil it for the rest. They can figure it out on their own. ;)

Looks great Karl, be interesting to see what you do to the signs on the walls.
So you started with the driftwood stain then turned to a different color , so the stain is under the color?
I've never had the driftwood stain but have read many discussions on folks swearing by it and seeking out for it.

Post by: postalkarl on December 14, 2018, 10:03:26 AM

Hey Lynn:

Thanks for the reply. Here is a photo of the front wall and one of the side walls. I decided on Depot Buff for the wall color instead of Box Car Red. It very lightly dry-brushed with a light gray. We shall see how it looks when assembled.

Karl

Opps put the wrong side wall in the photo. As can be seen it is not finished. some of the X-Bracing is missing. Sorry bout that.

Yep the walls do look great, nice and squared up. I find using the box car red can be hit and miss being that it can stand out so boldly.

Title: Re: R H Starkey Coal Co FSM #245
Post by: deemery on December 16, 2018, 11:04:19 AM

My 'trick' with red oxide is to apply it thinly, over an already-weathered base. For example, A&I or HunterLine stains, and then thinned red oxide paint or a light application of Pan Pastels. That technique works well for most colors that cover, such as yellows/ochres or even blue. It's not so good for white or other colors that don't cover as well.

Post by: postalkarl on December 18, 2018, 05:01:36 PM

Hi All:

As I said I was going to change the roof from shingles to rolled roofing as I think it is more industrial looking. It is painted with Krylon Red Oxide Primer, then A&I stain was added. Then dry-brushed with Apple Barrel Country Gray.

Karl

Title: Re: R H Starkey Coal Co FSM #245
Post by: PRR Modeler on December 18, 2018, 06:27:32 PM

Roof looks good Karl.

Title: Re: R H Starkey Coal Co FSM #245
Post by: vinceg on December 20, 2018, 07:23:46 AM

Yes - I like the look of the roofing. The red is a nice break from the usual grays. Also like the nail holes. Did you do that with a pin or something? Looks like they're too far apart to come from a rivet tool of pounce wheel.

Title: Re: R H Starkey Coal Co FSM #245
Post by: Opa George on December 20, 2018, 08:37:47 AM

Karl, the rolled roofing was a good choice. It looks tops in that color and finish (the dry-brushing and the nail holes)!

Title: Re: R H Starkey Coal Co FSM #245
Post by: postalkarl on December 20, 2018, 04:47:20 PM

Hi Vince:

yeah here is what I used for the nail holes. I don't even remember where I got it or what it is for in real life. But I like it. Actually the nail hole are not prototypical. The entire roof would leak. But what the heck I like the detail it adds. You would actually lay the first strip and nail it in place. The next strip would overlap the nails and so on up the roof.

Hi guys:

Love the garage Karl. The roof was different but the rest reminds me of the detached wooden garage my grandmother had.

Hi All:

Finished the truck garage. I'm not adding any interior detail as I want to make sure there is room to park the trucks. There isn't much in there anyway. I will be adding it to the diorama and finishing up the scenery and then adding fences.
