I started another diorama. This one fits next to Davetown Books.
The Chainsaw Sharpening building is a Bar Mills kit. Here's what comes in the kit
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages42.fotki.com%2Fv1630%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8383-vi.jpg&hash=26014d9779127eda0ff5927f8f3ba5838a879321)
They're really a pleasure to build. The parts fit together perfectly with only very minor clean up. Mostly done with a razor blade and a nail file. The only modifications that I did were making one roof corrugated metal and making my own signs. I still need to weather the building and add a lot of details.
I might redo the roof sign, I'm not happy with the way it looks and Chainsaw should be all one word.

I did a couple rough sketches and fooled around with paper to get the "Formal Wear" building about the right size.

I'm using Illustration Board to construct the building.

The basic shape is there. I have to add the finish and details.

Neat, I'll be following along.
Dave,
Count me in on the following as well.
Tom ;D
I didn't get much time at my workbench today. I added a brick base along the front and down the street side of the building.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv618%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8404a-vi.jpg&hash=1f0681fb52e68edd3544b23b89885edab4e36817)
Hi Dave:
Shes looking good so far. Like the chain saw repair.
Karl
I added a few minor details to the building and then gave it a shot of white primer. Then I mixed acrylic paint and plaster about 50/50 and dabbed it on with a piece of foam rubber.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv700%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8424-vi.jpg&hash=64e29eb329de1687a7dbd22c47fb2e87269b746e)
I made a sign box for the front of the building. It's going to be painted black.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages9.fotki.com%2Fv1542%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8420-vi.jpg&hash=a2a9fcfc1e9357cad35f2885256e7b379596a3e1)
I printed out "Formal Wear" to fit on the left side of the building. Then I glued it to a piece of .030 styrene and cut the letters out. They will be gloss black and pin mounted.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages9.fotki.com%2Fv174%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8410-vi.jpg&hash=97ea25159ad06938dde572d270a5a40ab4f0e76b)

Your way of modeling a rough plastered wall looks fantastic!
I'll keep this method in mind as a worthy idea to steal.
Can't wait to see how the Formal Wear sign turns out.
Your creativity and patience amazes me (once again)! 8) 8) 8) 8)
Great start on the structures........
The title of the thread reminds me of the Bob Newhart gag of the 50's......... The Mrs.s Grace L. Ferguson Airline and storm door company.
See ya
Bob
Your doing some great looking modeling Dave. Very clever way of making stucco, looks very real. Thanks for sharing.
Sam
I'm learning something every day on this site.
Thank you
great build, i must keep it in mind doing stuko
Cor
Looking good! I will also be following along.
I just hope that you didn't hire Arnell Ledbetter to work in the chainsaw
sharpenin' shop!
Dave, I apologize for jokin' around on your build thread.
That's just the low-life mind-set that is my norm.
Your build threads are super and we all appreciate your detail and explanations that help us all!
Please ignore the southern dumb-*ss that interrupts!!! :-[ :-[ :-[
Gnat, no problem. At least it shows you're paying close attention. :)
After the "stucco" dried I gave it another coat of flat white from a spray can just to seal everything. I put in the windows. Bent Q-Tips worked pretty good as clamps.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv618%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8426-vi.jpg&hash=1246cd8f563b7e73dfb1375b308307c07517bee1)
I got the sign box finished. The sign is printed on card stock and I put acetate in front of it. I added some strips along the back so it would have a place for the glue when it's mounted to the building.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages9.fotki.com%2Fv250%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8427-vi.jpg&hash=4d4980156e8e20eec6b6da87741f6ee21297d3ba)
I mounted the letters that I cut out with Tacky Glue, Stuck the sign on, and added the bride and groom to the front window. The background behind the window is made out of index card that I ran through a tube squeezer.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv370%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8432-vi.jpg&hash=afbf608b02671f77c80c689fd1ba9f69c0318ba6)
There's a couple more pictures here: http://public.fotki.com/daveinthehat/davetown/tuxedo-daves-formal/
"Q-tip clamps"?
"Index card thru a tube squeezer"?
Every photo is a lesson in crazy creativity...Well done!
John
I didn't like the way the sign on the chainsaw sharpening building looked so I changed it a little. Chainsaw is one word and I resized the text so it wasn't so big. I changed the office sign too.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv361%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8447-vi.jpg&hash=3e51636c9c0736c660036b24d1464b25451e801c)
I started with a sheet of plastic and drew out the front doors.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages51.fotki.com%2Fv278%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8433-vi.jpg&hash=1cdf8423baf543b4d904c84bafba9eb6999c858f)
I cut out for the windows and added handles. Then gave them a coat spray can chrome paint that I got from Pep Boys.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages19.fotki.com%2Fv193%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8438-vi.jpg&hash=34c8fdb1bf43f03ea41653a6efc6b06d49d32864)
I found this penguin at the dollar store. It's a rubber eraser. Seemed like it would be about the right size for what I have in mind.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv107%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8439-vi.jpg&hash=ef6663002049d04e775f652f1a6b87cc34fc24e9)
I cut out some index card the shapes that I need to make a top hat.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv107%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8440-vi.jpg&hash=5da35802434f1b3a5cebb3afd8511452fe5d21bd)
I rolled the side around the top and covered the paper on both sides with gobs of super glue.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages108.fotki.com%2Fv1629%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8442-vi.jpg&hash=22ba812a8e46b4b63becdf0cbe133452cc9454d7)
Then drew out an ellipse and centered the hat in it. And, more globs of super glue.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv367%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8443-vi.jpg&hash=283b568c8eefa2b4a572df000808ff2d344bf08e)
Check for size. Then to the paint booth for a coat of primer.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages9.fotki.com%2Fv1542%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8444-vi.jpg&hash=7fd0b3ed472f94f145b1bc4c340ad11a445739a7)
I cut out paper for a collar and bow tie. Then painted them.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv361%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8446-vi.jpg&hash=a30b7eab1369bb014e9810e27a509b6d0691d2d7)
The penguin was in pieces that sort of snap together but wont stay so I glued them and gave him a coat of clear gloss. Then glued all the stuff I made on him.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages14.fotki.com%2Fv777%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8449-vi.jpg&hash=93e3bb4a822b15a51fefb924b1efada1ce4a8788)
I figured he needed a walking stick to complete the ensemble. Glued him to a base made out of plastic. He's just sitting in position until I finish the roof. You can see how the doors look in position too.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages61.fotki.com%2Fv665%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8450-vi.jpg&hash=10fe0d0f3a5ce38d5cad31a89d44aecbb47bc211)
I painted a piece of construction paper with black primer and then varied the color with some quick sprays of grey and white primer so it didn't look so even. After it dried I cut it into strips.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv370%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8452-vi.jpg&hash=85825e53c38776b44bb40d199b0ede9a5f680fca)
Then I glued them to the roof.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv367%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8453-vi.jpg&hash=507608791484e3b452d1457f1a7b27d01832173e)
Other than a few minor details this building is finished.
I'm planing more buildings to fill up the rest of the space on the diorama. I'm not sure what they're going to be yet. I started making some bricks. I'll see what happens.
These are Linka molds.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages15.fotki.com%2Fv1626%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8454-vi.jpg&hash=7df64cff6ee0cf279cb63f92204a69920dda8e98)
Filled with a mix of plaster, white glue and water.

About 3 hours later. I got bricks.

Your threads are always creative, informative, and entertaining. Thanks so much for inviting us along. ;D
Dave
How do you like those Linka Moulds ?? I have been eyeing them for a whole now and been thinking about giving them a go. They are HO scale aren't they ?? Any info would be great
Thanks
Kenny
I really like the Linka Molds. The bricks are slightly larger then HO scale, but they look close enough for me. The stone molds look right at home with HO scale. They do take a little bit of practice. There are some good tutorial videos on their web sites.
I've been using Plaster of Paris which is not recommended. I can't find anyplace near me that carries casting plaster. I'm still working on that.
Dave
Thanks for the info
Kenny
Dave,
Great stuff here, I love the penguin on the building. Thanks for sharing the step by step build.
Tom ;D
I sort of got my casting problems straightened out and I made a pile of bricks that turned out pretty good.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages9.fotki.com%2Fv1542%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8457-vi.jpg&hash=471e4d23c2fdb4f2d343d6a7f2d85438457c243c)
I started gluing stuff together. I think I'm going to build sort of a small, narrow townhouse sort of building and then a larger building next to it. This one will have a foundation under it so there will be steps up to the door.

I'm finally back to work on this diorama. I decided to build 2 buildings. I wasn't too concerned about getting them together perfect. I want them to look like old, weathered buildings. I did use a little plaster here and there to do some repairs and fill in some of the places that didn't look good.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages20.fotki.com%2Fv681%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8674-vi.jpg&hash=e2d71488bf806f947a08d7b8d7985214adb4bfb8)

I gave the buildings a quick shot of red primer because it's really hard for me to see what I'm doing with all the white.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages109.fotki.com%2Fv779%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8676-vi.jpg&hash=d43bd492566dcce421a2bce40e093c547bf9873f)
I added a fireplace and chimney to cover up a section that looked really screwed up.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages20.fotki.com%2Fv685%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8677-vi.jpg&hash=39af3b70c21506353b43a26688297058e130f468)
I used poster board and illustration board to finish off the top edge. This one is in small sections the other is in big sections just to give some variation in the details when it's finished.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages108.fotki.com%2Fv1623%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8678-vi.jpg&hash=00de47f7f9b1e816a39c2fe698d8b50121c79d76)

I mixed up a thin batch of plaster and smeared it all over the bricks than when it started to dry I wiped off most of the excess.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages60.fotki.com%2Fv370%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8680-vi.jpg&hash=321065604ea48bccbf71d781d1dd793586cd6de0)
The plaster fills in between the bricks good, but it leaves a film over all the bricks that makes them look white.

The buildings look awful right now. The first time I did this I went into a panic. It's not a problem. After it fully drys most of it brushes off. When I give it a coat of flat clear all the brick color comes back.
Dave those Linka molds look great where can I order some, and do they come in sets? thanks
Sam
Sam, you can get Linka molds from their web site: http://www.linkaworld.com/
I'm not sure if they come in sets or not. I bought one of each mold and a couple extra of the solid brick and stone walls.
Thank You Dave, I have never seen those before. I really appreciate your quick reply. Your work is coming out awesome, and I'm enjoying this thread.
Thanks again,
Sam
PS I will put a order in for some of those soon.
The Linka molds are a tiny bit larger than HO scale. To me it isn't really noticeable with the bricks and stone. The windows look fine. Some are exactly the same size as Grandt Line windows. The only part that looks out of scale is the doors. They do look big especially if you have a person next to them. I replaced the cast door with a Grandt Line door that has a transom and it fits right over top of it.
I got a little more done. I used a couple different colors and sponge painted the foundations.

I have to make the roofs, finish the windows, add some details and do a bunch of weathering.
Hi Dave:
Looks good. Love the beer sign.
Karl
I like the sign also. That happens to be one of the many fine beers we carry. Walls look good also.
Yeah for Natty Bo the last beer of choice. Jim
I have to drive about 100 miles south for a Natty Boh.
I've been making some (slow) progress on these two houses. I added an addition to the left side of one house.

I made front porches for both houses. Most of the stuff is made out of strips of wood and paper. The porch posts are "fancy" toothpicks. The roofing material is paper. The trim is paper I cut with scissors that cut patterns.

OK............
I live in the west............. I've never heard of National Bohemian before.................
I'm to be traveling to the east on a giant road trip and connecting the dots of a lot of cities.
Where can you find the Nat Bo stuff ? ? ?
see ya
Bob
Bob, you can find National Beer just about anyplace in Maryland. It goes well with steamed crabs and good friends.
I got the base laid out and used masking tape where the buildings go. There's a layer of dirt and then a layer of grass.

The tape leaves a pretty clean line so I stuck the buildings to the base with a generous amount of clear Silicone. After it dried there were a few spots where I had to clean up excess Silicone and add a little more dirt and grass.

The spot between the tuxedo building and the chainsaw building looked a little empty so I made a small shed with stuff from my scrap box.
(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages116.fotki.com%2Fv618%2Fphotos%2F2%2F914592%2F13020627%2F100_8775-vi.jpg&hash=10f1898c501dc70cd1003489d990be7c1d62c4c6)
With the shed in place I made a fence around the chainsaw building. The posts are aluminum tubing with a hole drilled for the bar across the top. Those are stiff metal wire that I found somewhere. The fence is plastic window screen from the hardware store. The gate is made from a piece of brass rod that I bent and soldered.

I added a white picket fence around the one house. I thought it made it look a little nicer. The fence is Atlas. I got it cheap at a train show a while ago.

I still have to do more weathering and age the concrete, add more grass and a couple trees along with a bunch of details.

Dave,
Great diorama and pictures!
Tom ;D
Hi Dave:
Love the Penguin sign. He looks right in home in his Natural Tux.
Karl
Fun stuff
Thanx
Bob
I got some landscaping done and made some trees.

I got this car at a train show along with a couple others. I think I paid a dollar for a hand full of cars that were painted badly and screwed up. This one was red and white. I took it apart, stripped it and repainted it.

While I was waiting for glue and paint to dry I made 62 birdhouses. I figured I'd stock up on them so I don't have to make any for a while.

Started working on a few of the details. I made a tire pump.

You look like it pizz's you off to have to pump up the tire!!
If Bob P. comes around, offer him a NatBo and he'll help you!! ;D ;D ;D
Here's the finished pictures. I'll put a slide show of the entire build together in a day or two.
