Bar Mills N-Scale Kits

[postalkarl]

Hi guys:

Have a new project. Have to build 8 Bar Mills N-Scale kits for Artie at Bar Mills. He needs new kits for a show diorama and I got the job.

Will be starting this week end,

Karl,

Wow, major score on your part. I'm sure you'll have them all finished in less than 10 days of so! You know speed!
Any way, I'll be following along as usual.

Nice catch Karl. Get your opti-visor out and the lens clean.

I built the Majestic Hardware, Swanson's Lunch, and Saulena's kits almost 10 years ago, for my Ntrak modules I built at that time. Fun kits, for sure.

Will follow along, love your work.

I will be watching the AB-Normal work you will be doing on these AB-Normal scale builds.

I had nearly all of those when I was in N scale. Bar Mills is a major force for N scalers craving craftsman kits. Looking forward to watching.

You're just the man for the job Karl!  I build a few of those for John C back when he was in N Scale.  They're a lot of fun.  You know I'll be following along.

I'll be watching Karl.....don't let those "N" scale kits make you go blind.

Hi Guys:

Decided to start with Swanson's Lunch Stand. Walls are assemble and added to the base. Need to do some touch up here and there. It is painted with the paint in the picture. Wanted to try this stuff with chalky finish. It dries nice and flat.

Here's a few photos.

very interesting. You like the paint? I was thinking spraying a flat color and then sponge or dry brushing the "painted" color might yield a nice aged effect.

I've built all those kits for my N scale layout.

Stay cool and run steam.....

Hi John:

I like the white. they make a couple of grays and some other colors. I want to dry a darker color to see if it dries chalky. I don't think it will as the white didn't. We shall see at some later date.
