Rebuilding a SRMW Currier & Sons Cabinet Office

[ACL1504]

I then finished adding the planking for the canopy.



I used some black roofing paper, cut in 3 scale feet widths. I used a #17 blade to rough up the papers.



The papers were glued in place.



The last piece next to the wall was pressed into place using a small metal ruler. Be sure you allow a little of the paper to over lap to represent some flashing.



Continued in a few.

The porch including the stairs, posts, rafters and railings are in such disrepair you don''t notice the extra bracing I added.



I used A&I and touched up all the exposed stripwood ends. I used several white, grey and black pastel chalks to weather the main and porch roofs.





Here is a look at the main roof.



More in a few.

Here are two extra shots of the finished buildling. Well, finished as far as building. I still need to add a few signs.





KC's Workshop Cerzullo's Fruit Packing on the left and SRMW Currier & Sons Office on the right. These two are going to be hard to let go! Oh well, they both have great real estate locations waiting.

Another job well done Tom.....can't wait to see it on the Pennsy.

Very nice.  I've never tried taking a structure, breaking it back down into kit form and then building it again.

The windows and doors were added next. I wanted to have two of the windows have some curtains blowing in the wind. Here is how I did it.

I took a paper napkin I got from Chili's Restaurant and cut two curtains the wideth of the windows.



The two curtains were painted with Floquil Antique White and set aside to dry.



When dry the curtains were glued to the back of the windows.



Continued in a few.

Tom, does the napkin HAVE to be from a Chili's restaurant or could we use a Burger King one?

Donato,

I'm very sorry for the delay in my response to your inquiry. I just didn't notice the last two posts.

Great question and the napkin doesn't have to be from Chili's, it can be from your kitchen or Burger King. The key is to get a good quality paper napkin that feels something like a cloth napkin.

If you PM me or send me an email with you name and address, I'll be more than happy to send you a few of the napkins I use for window curtains.
