Hello everyone.
I recently completed work on a quick build of Carter Supply from Foscale I wanted to share. I changed a few things to give it my own touch.
Let me know what you think.

I didn't include the small corrugated metal shed to the left of the front of the building in my build. Instead I added a chimney, a small fence and some junk.

I changed the roofing on the main building from tarpaper to diamond shaped shingles. I made these using pinking shears. I colored the tarpaper smaller roofing with red to give it a little contrast.

The chimney casting is from BEST I believe. The smaller vent is from FSM. I'm not sure who made all the barrels and things. I pulled them out of my box of random castings.

Nothing real interesting back here. This area will not be visible on the layout. I changed the flat roofing also. This roof was done by spraying a card with black paint and sprinkling on fine cinders. It came out a little patchy but you wont be able to see it once I place it on the layout.

The pallets in the foreground are from Northeastern. I'm not sure about some of the junk on the porch. I think the hand truck is FSM.
Overall this was a nice kit and only took a few days to assemble.
Thanks for checking in.

Nice work Steve,,, great idea with the diamond shingles and the red roof. The color choice for the structure is nice also. All around fantastic job, especially given that you finished it in a few days!
Very nice commercial structure.....well done Steve. 8)
Great work as always Steve. Your coloring and weathering is always perfect to me. It's not dirty, dilapidated, or damaged, it's just awesome! well done!
