Hi Vilius:

Very well done the Mfg would be proud of  your build. The cap shingles are great arn't they.

Karl,

Thank you. The cap shingles take some time to do but they are worth the effort.

Vilius,
I'm really enjoying your build thread.  You are doing a great job on this kit.  As for the clamps, I'm not sure why I started using them...it just snowballed into a clamp addiction with me!

Vilius,

Clamps or no, the build looks great.


Most modelers don't realize just how important cap shingles are on a model. They change the entire look of the model and as you say well worth the effort on the appearance of the finished model.

Well done.

Hey Vilius,

   Awesome job on the front sign and the clap boards. You are a master at those 2 techniques. I also really like your roof. Did you use Marker or Paint on the strips of roofing material to get the neat variation in single color?

Thanks for sharing!
Alan

Thank you, guys. I need to get some clamps for 1:1 scale project. I hope it isn't going to turn into addiction

I painted streaks of browns and grays on the sheets of roofing material.

Nice looking structure...gonna have to check them out. Love your color scheme.

[Vilius]

Thank you, Dave.

I finished it finally over the long weekend. It had been sitting on a shelf for good couple of weeks nearly done. I actually messed up back porch roofing two times and had to re-do it. The moral of the story is. Even it says you can spray metal with Rust-Oleum paint, use automotive primer first.

What Jeff said!  It is really nice to see a proper foundation on your model. Way to many structures make it on to layouts without foundations.
