It's been a while since my last build , and I am not anywhere near the part of my layout where I plan this , but someone at nScale.net asked for some Lunde Studio kits, so I'm building the Bus station now.
Box and contents.

Instructions with plenty of photographs , the signs are not decals , not a problem but maybe the BUS signs should have been decals. Don't think I will be using the Snailways signs.

That looks like a fun kit. Glad it only comes in N or I might be tempted to think about it.
Neat looking structure Jan.....I'll be looking in. :)
Thanks Greg and Vince ( don't they have it in H0? )
First weathering of the base with AK Neutral Gray Wash(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fbusstat%2Fbusstat10.jpg&hash=010298e7eaa63b874f9a0a7ebb5cbafcd6fdad02)

Looks great Jan. Of course I'll be following.
Pretty neat looking structure/kit! Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching to see how this one goes together. :D
This will be neat to follow along , I always find it interesting how a plastic can be transformed into a well weathered finish.
Thanks Curt , Bob , Lynn glad to have you following , don't hesitate to give comments.

Jan,
I've been on the follow trail but just now found some time to post.
Great job on a great looking kit. Interesting structure from Lunde, I like it.
Tom ;D
Thank you Tom, hope to finish the structure tomorrow , then find some little people waiting for a bus.
The concrete tiles on the base were all the same color, so I painted the pedestrian walkways with Badger light grey primer, it's a translucent paint so it just changed the color slightly and gave it a flatter finish. On the left has been painted and even while still being a bit wet it gives a flatter finish.(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fbusstat%2Fbusstat28.jpg&hash=752d0e459d81da95b539438d83e8067a82058203)
The result is to my liking.

I used powders to dirty all the walls , from bottom to top to make the bottom of the walls slightly more dirty from rain splash.

I painted the vent system with Vallejo Duck Egg Green, exactly the same color as the resin AC unit in the kit. (https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fbusstat%2Fbusstat33.jpg&hash=9769564782f3035f56faa14570fc718f51b2e131)
On the left top corner you can see a square part, the kit has it there for a chimney , but if you look at the structure there can't be a chimney there, it's right on top of the space for unloading . Removing this part was not an option , so I will look and see if I can place a vent on top of it , that would make more sense above the unloading space.

As you can see in the next 2 photo's the roof is all black , too bland.

At Eurospoor I learned about Faber Castell crayons the Albrecht Durer type, they hold on plastic and resin until made wet then you can rub them off , while dry they will not rub off. I used these in a few different greys and browns to sort of dry brush the roof. It's difficult to see on the photo's but it really changed the roofs blandness.

Next up the Bus sign above the entrance.
Very nice modeling Jan.
hey Jan:
Looks great so far. I'm along for the ride.
Karl
Thanks Curt and Karl , much appreciated.
The kit comes with Snailways signs, probably because of rights issues.I decided to make my own Greyhound signs and decals.(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fbusstat%2Fbusstat41.jpg&hash=df3ce1f0f0d7c792aeadf31cf9c9c6946993bf45)

Really nice. It reminds me of Greyhound stations I have been in over the years
It reminds me of Greyhound stations I have been in over the years
Going to school in the Deep South, circa 1970, we were admonished that when using the rest room at the Birmingham bus terminal, only "shake" once in each direction, then zip. Any further activity was a morals offense. Sort of an urban legend thing.
Thanks Curt and great story Blaze
Jan,
Nice touch painting the walkways to show them as cleaner than the concrete where the busses pull in and out!

One of the earliest stations in this style is located in Silver Spring, Maryland, just north of the District of Columbia. While the building is no longer a bus station, it has been preserved and is a retail shopping complex. The original vertical sign which said bus now is a movie theater. You can see it on Google maps at https://goo.gl/maps/SQF4UNLZAPS2 (https://goo.gl/maps/SQF4UNLZAPS2)
Thanks Jerry and Rollin for the additional information , cool.
Some decals I made myself above the entrance and other signs added.(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Fbusstat%2Fbusstat45.jpg&hash=ff168bac71a93c8574bad18abaa88df6841cba80)

Great work Jan.....the weathering looks terrific. 8)
Great Looking Bus Station Jan. I find it hard to believe that it is "N" Scale.
Jim
Thank you Jim and Greg, I'm not content with the concrete bus paving , but I don't know how I can make it satisfying . Any idea's are welcome.
Jan,
Very well done all the way. The weathering looks great.
Tom ;D
Very nice job Jan. You do need to put some sketchy type people around. There always seems to be a few at bus stations.
looking great Jan
rich
Thanks Tom , Curt , Rich , yep all kinds of people hang hanging around stations.
Very nice Jan. Merry Christmas to you.
Mike :)
Nice work on a beautiful Art Deco building, Jan. I think you've captured "the look." I also think the bus driveways look good and suggest an authentic buildup of grime, soot, exhaust, fluid spills, and such.
--George
Thank you Mike and George and merry Christmas to you all.
Seasons Greetings Jan!
That depot turned out very well! Love your signage.
Thanks Darryl , hope 2019 is a good year for you , and that you bring out some incredible kits ....................... in N-scale ;)

How about a darker color down the middle of the lanes and bus parking slots to represent years of oil drips from the buses? :o
Checked out some options for lighting.

Jan...
The idea that you do this in N scale is really cool for those who can barely see the world in 1 to 1.
Thanx
Bob
Thanks Curt and Bob , I hope the moment that I can't work in N-scale stays away for a long time.
Jan,
Great job on the lighting, just fantastic looking. Over all the building is fantastic as well.
I agree with Greg in that a little oil stain in the middle of the bus parking lanes will finish it off.
Tom ;D
Thanks Tom . I'm going to use my new AK weathering stuff for the oil and other stains.
More photo's of interior and exterior lighting , the street lamps are from WeHonest, I know someone was asking about them a while back , I just ordered some more from them should arrive in a few days.
