RSM Delwins Boat & Net Storage build.

[ACL1504]

After all the windows dried from the A&I bath, I applied Canopy Glue to the windows for the glass. These were again set aside for drying. No photos of this step.

I then very very lightly dry brushed the sides of the structure walls with Floquils Antique White. I achieved the effect I was after by doing the dry brushing very lightly, ie - almost no paint on the brush. Due to the walls being board and batton, I went to the resident expert.  I didn't think using a sponge would give me the right look. I mentioned to Reading Bob the sponge effect may only appear on the battons. He suggested using a small, maybe 1/8" paint brush. I used the 1/8" brush and got the perfect look. Thanks Bob.

When the Canopy Glue dried I used the Antique White for dry brushing the windows. The windows were then glued into the window openings. I left a few of the window pains open as if the glass were missing or broken.



No window shades were added as the workers need all the light they can get from outside. I think you can see the very subtle dry brushing on the walls.

I added a few details to the front of the structure. The doors are in the correct postion even  though they are just above the bottom of the walls. The docks fits up next to the bottom of both doors.

Good Afternoon Tom,

Obviously the doctor has given you a green light to play with trains. Glad to see you back. I can't wait to see what you will do with this building. Keep up the beautiful work and take it easy with all your body parts. I'm still resting from the convention!!!

Looking good Tom!  It's great to see that you're able to get back at this one.  This will be the signature scene that leads into what will be a wonderful stretch of scenery on the layout when you get it completed.

Morning Frank,

I'm happy to be back modeling, at least even for a little bit. Actually the last few posts were areas I finished prior to the layoff but didn't get them up until after the surgery.  I'm looking forward to getting back on this one, hopefully this weekend. Thank you for the kind words of support, much appreciated.

Bob,

Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I'm really anxious to get back to this one. It has lots of Slim's LED lighting and I need to get to the learning process of that one aspect of the build. I think the whole left side will be a show stopper when finished.

Thanks very much, I appreciate the feedback. I din't see your post until now.

I'm bumping this one also so the bench and track work can get done on the new A&S.

I Tom:

I have a special set of brushes that are specifcally made for dry-brushing. I will look to see if there is a brand on the handle. They are quite expesnisve but work really really well. They are tapered and rounded on the ends.

Do I get credit for not mentioning anything about padding?
