Tommy,

The build is coming along nicely. It sure is a large kit. But, then again all of the SRMW kits are large.

Great job.

Super job opening those windows!  Are you priming and then assembling?

dave

Thanks for the comment, opening up the windows takes time but the building can then be lighted if needed. This build was primed prior to assembly but it is not the final color. Sometimes we prime after they are together too...see photos...

Wonderful work. I'm sad I gave this one up but I'd never have the space to use it unless I won the the lottery.

This coming along very nicely!  Looking forward to each new step.

Bob, the Lamson & Sons kit is a large project, 4 brick structures and 3 wooden ones in one heavy box. Wish we won the lottery to farm out the work...Tommy

Jerry, Thanks...will show you a quick update on the # 250 SRMW kit Whitinsville Spinning Ring Co. because The Lamson & Sons buildings were painted a orange/red color satin color and needed to work on something else while the paint sets up...photos left to right, ready for rattle can of Colonial Red, spray painted parts outdoors, brush painted stone base with Poly S Concrete and then brush painted the window headers with Poly S Reefer Gray, also used a craft paint color Kelly Green to trim out the window openings. The satin red brick color will be toned down with a A/I wash and the some chalks for the mortar to make it dull.
Until next time...Tommy
