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.

Karl

Karl,

Thanks for the information and YES see if you can get the brand name. It will be worth the expense. I appreciate the input.

The Prez is back.....

Amen brother! The cowboy is back in the saddle.

Tom

Hope ya got some extra padding on that saddle .... 

I have so much padding I don't need it on the saddle.
Tom

Do I get credit for not mentioning anything about padding? 

Greg,

I got your credit right here.

Hi Tom:

Sounds good. I think a complete set is around 30 dollars. There are 4 brushes to the complete set. I think you will really like them. I know I Do.

Well, I finally caught up on this build and I am overwhelmed 

I will just have to wait till the layout is far enough along for Tom to get back to this.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for the visit last weekend.  I can't wait to get back to this one build. Hopefully it will only be a few more months.

Bumping this thread. I'll be working on this one in the next month.

While working on the Atlantic and Southern passenger sheds, I had a little time to continue some work on Delwin's.

I added all the nail holes and then braced the back of the walls per the instructions.



I then applied a light coat of Hunterline Light Gray A&I stain.

When the A&I was dry, I painted the exterior walls with Floquil CN Gray. I dipped just the tip of the brush in the paint and then dipped the tip in some clean thinner and brushed it on the walls. After the paint was "set" (almost dry but not quite), I dipped a clean brush into the thinner and painted the walls with the thinner. This process thinned the paint on the walls a little further.



After adding the windows and doors, I'll go over the walls a final time with the A&I and then add some dry brushing.

I'll of course keep you posted.

It feels good to be back on this build.

Looks good Tom, I think this is very cool kit. I saw another one build up with the optional lighting kit and I was very impressed.

I think this will really be a "Show Piece" when you get it put on the layout.

I am looking forward to that moment.
