C. C. Crow Stone Church - First Annual Raymo Build Challenge 2016

Here is a cropped picture with some zoom.

A little more zoom.


The brown's in the casting seem to show up more with the brown colored rocks sounding it.

This picture is definitely going to make use of my stick to hold the iPhone or the SLR with a zoom lens.

So - the castings are going into the paint booth for the dark grey primer. I have started playing with the roof castings.  And I have to decide about the window trim.  What do you think about a light grey. The windows are going to have stained glass, which will be shown off by some LED's from Slim.

Today, I only managed about an hour on this build.  I started preparing the castings for the paint booth.

Cutting the window openings and testing the fit of the window castings.

What do you think - light grey window castings or a dark hunter green?

John, I would go with the light gray or even white. With the dark walls the trim should stand out and show off the stained glass.

I think white might look very striking.

I think you should paint one window with each of the three colors and see which looks best. You can always redo the two you didn't like.
I'm thinking the dark green will contrast really well and look very "churchy". Looking good here.

Thanks for your input. I think I will end up with a very light grey but I plan on doing a test before I make a final decision.  I want to see how dark I end up making the walls.

Thanks for stopping by the thread and for your input.
I plan on  doing a color test and you may be right. Once I get the walls done I will paint some test windows.

Hi Mike


Thanks for stopping by the thread - and as usually you have good advice.  I need to see things to make these color decisions so I will make some paint test windows and see what they look like with the finished walls.

Today's progress was to finish cleaning up the castings and I started painting them with primer. I plan on assembling the walls and then doing the final painting and coloring so I'm painting the inside first..

[S&S RR]

Today, I started assembling the walls.  Yes, I use lots of weights to make sure things are square and stay that way.
