FOS Forley & Co. Lithographers

I consulted with my wife (formally trained artist.)  She says "add a very tiny amount of green to the red to tone it down."  I think that's the 'complementary color on the Color Wheel' solution.

Dave,

Thank you and tell your wife thank you as well. Adding Green, wow, never would have considered that but then I don't have any artistic bones for color in my old body. I'm going to try some green and red but not on this structure.

I built this one a long time ago.  Changed it up a bit and added an addition.  It covers a "hole" in the backdrop, which is used to turn trains.  Can't wait to see what you do with the kit.

Dr. Jeff,

I was correct, you and Karl did build this kit. I remember yours also from the old forum but didn't have a picture. Now, yours is in a file for FOS.

Thanks for posting your Forley build.

Enjoying your thread as always, Tom. Love Doug's background kits. Marty, here's my Ravenwood. It's either Zinc Chromate or Rock Island Maroon, can't recall.

Dave,

Great build, thanks for posting the picture. I really like the Ravenwood flat. I'm confident your walls are Zinc Chromate. Either way, I have both colors to experiment with.

And, thank you for the kind words on my builds, much appreciated.

I'm always amazed at how my wife can add strange colors to get a match.  But she was stumped trying to match -old-Floquil Reefer Yellow.

If anyone is interested, I'll re-post the photos of the build without the narratives. Let me know.

I think it was yesterday's banter that caused the server to crash.

I think Raymo is right - it was all those big words you guys were using.

HI Tom:

You are welcome glad I could provide the photo.

Okay, you can be derisive if you so desire. However, it wasn't my fault, to a fault.

Here I am, down here in the South, minding my own business, feeling ebullient, and having a little patois with BandOGuy in a waggish way. I'm not sure any big words were used.

Ebullient -  cheerful and full of energy

Patois -  a form of language spoken only in a particular area among friends

Waggish -  Humorous in a playful manner

Whatever it was, I'm sure it was Toms' fault.....just ask Slim

Oh boy.....here we go again, but I got nuttin'.

I'm still trying to decipher whatever language you'all are speaking!!

I just started putting the F&SM pictures back in the thread and you guys start with those big words again. Your going to make the server mad.







There I will add some real beauty to all those big word posts to cancel them out.
