The Pub Crawl Build

[PRR Modeler]

Another great build Jeff. I'm following along.

I used some styrene and cut and fit some pieces to make it larger.  Not perfect and the pieces should slightly overhang the window so water won't rot out the top of the bay windows.  I don't think it will rain here in the basement, so I don't think it will be a problem.

The final problem (so far) is that the doors for the right business don't fit the opening, either.  In the pictures there's frame around this.  There's none in the instructions, so I just painted and cut my own.  I did manage to knock over the paint (a new bottle, of course).  Didn't get on the building though.

The front is finished, except for the lamps and awnings, I'll leave these off while putting the walls together, so I don't knock them off.

One wall added, always a milestone on a structure.  This is where we sit this morning.

Very nice job Jeff.

Looks great Jeff!  Nice job dealing with some of the curveballs this one has thrown at you.  I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

Hi Bob:

Looks great so far. Following along.

Thanks for following along, gentlemen.  The walls are together.  I had a feeling I'd knock off the corbels.      I made a couple of 90 degree cardstock/stripwood angles to keep the two corners square.  Next up is roofing, and it's in the paint booth drying now.

Looking good. Good idea with the square.

Jeff, I like it!

Thanks for the kind words, Thom, Curt and Marty.  There are four main roofs.  One is corrugated metal, the other three are rolled roofing.  I painted the sheet that came with the kit with SAC Bomber Green, flat black and flat grey primer in a random pattern.  Strips were cut out on a paper cutter.  The underside of the roofs were painted in the building color.  Transfer tape applied to the roof and the strips added.  I use a black marker to color the edges of the paper and any parts that will show after they're applied.  You can color them afterward, but this is easier.  I'm going to use a plain black on one of the roofs for contrast.
