Monster Modelworks Yard Tower - Second annual Raymo Challenge 2018

Here is another picture from a different angle showing the calendar on the side of the file cabinet.

Looks like I missed a parting line on the side of the file cabinet when I cleaned up the castings. That's why we take pictures.

Yep. Pretty convincing. Once it's inside, it will look perfect, I reckon.

Desk blotter is a nice touch.

Thanks - yeah these details will be inside and the viewer will be looking through a window.

Looks good to me John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve

Thank you - Jimmy is producing some very nice kits. He must have his lasers going 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Based upon your fine work I started digging around. I got a gander at the Monster Modelworks web site plus a few build threads. This laser cut brick looks very interesting. I ordered a McCampbell Storage background flat kit. I've got a spot for it on my small layout. We'll see how it goes. in the meantime I'll bookmark this thread so I can review the painting process you used.

I think you will be happy with the Monster Modelworks kit. I think there will be a number of Jimmy's kits and scratch build buildings on my layout in the future.

Well, I finally got back to this build today. I have been busy painting castings for a number of days (I lost track). I basically painted all the castings for four builds all at once. 
I don't think I would recommend doing so many at one time. It was efficient painting, but too much of a good thing.

Here are a few pictures of the interior details after they were painted and installed. This is the view before the windows were added.

Next step, was to paint the laser cut windows.

I took this picture of the interior just before I added the last window.

Here is the view, through the windows now that the widows have been added.
