Another RSlaser structure , we need more N-scale manufacturers like Rich and Darryl to name a couple.

This is a backdrop structure with a little depth , the main part is the front wall.

Right away I had a small issue with the dormers , they are very vulnerable, I had to do something about that before they would break off.

I taped them with masking tape , and cut around the dormers.

This would be enough to keep them safe until the windows and the window frames were assembled, once those are in place the dormers won't be vulnerable.

Thanks Jan and your off to another great start. True the dormer frames are fragile but do like your solution.

I think you mean the masking tape Curt correct me if I'm wrong, they keep the dormers together and safe until I have the windows in, the dormers are a bit fragile.
Thank you Rich , and yes it's easy to solve the fragile dormers , so it isn't really a problem , just have to be a bit careful, but that goes for many things in N-scale.
Time to give the outer wall some color.

This is looking really good Jan! Great job on the rusted siding.
John
Thanks John appreciate it.
Looking great Jan. Work on the HO Bain & Mitchel is on hold right now. Had sinus surgery last week and it kicked my butt big time. Think they blasted to get them clear by how my head feels right now. Liver transplant was a cake walk to this. Doc said worst he had ever operated one.
rich
Jan, you continue to impress me with this.
Nice Job Jan! The whole thing is looking great and that roof is very nice.
Rich, I hope you are on the mend. Those railroad tunnelers like to use Nitro! Stay clear of infections.
Thanks Rich , Curt, Darryl , glad you like it , Rich hope you get well soon .

Glue with black paint mixed to make tar. And I assembled the dock's roof with the wire included in the kit.

I used AK Rust Streaks to give the rust streaks to the wall and the roof coming from the steel rods. It's an enamel paint that I brushed just a tiny streak down and then touched it with a small brush with white spirit which made it more of a wash.

Truly beautiful modeling Jan.
Well done Jan.....that's going to be a great scene when you get it done. 8)
Very nice. I can't even imagine working in N-scale.
That turned out excellent as usual Jan! All the LP's and cargo make it real.
Thank you Greg, Bob and Darryl. Bob my next kit will probably be 0 scale , I'm scared already to be modeling in such a large scale ;)

You might enjoy the build Jan.....I did one for Capt. Mike and loved the detail you can put in the larger scale.....had a really good time with that one. :)
Building a kit in a different scale is a blast! My former office-mate had a O scale 3-rail layout. I scratchbuilt a crossing tower (from photos I took) for him.

Thanks for the encouragement Greg and Dave.
Hey Jan:
Looks just beautiful.
