Winter Build Challenge: The Blue Slipper by KC's Workshop

Gonna add a sill under that door, glaze the windows, put in window shade, and add my own signs before raising the walls. Like Mike THE Runner, I prefer to do as much as possible while the walls are flat.

It actually has more of a yellow tinge to it than is apparent in this iPhone pic.

From your picture - did you paint it with the two colors (the small sample) - then whip it off to let the base color show through?

Since the proto is in Michigan I've been hunting all week for home-brew signs. So many cool signs...so little wall space. 😥

No...I mixed them in a little palette. Looks like breakfast! 🍳🍳🍳

More later...heading out for a sushi dinner. Hope I avoid this guy's fate... https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/01/19/man-feels-five-foot-tapeworm-wiggling-out-after-eating-sushi/amp/

One more shot...the paint wasn't yet dry here. I'd like still more yellow. More experimenting is in order.

Following along , I love the Bock and the Cream Top signs.

Thought I would throw in a couple pics of the almost complete display model for Springfield ....( Still needs the sign on the front )

Looks good, Kenny! Love the ghost signs👍🏻

Found another great vintage Michigan beer ad...definitely using this one!

This guy showed up on the front steps yesterday...I think I'll add it to my challenge build.

Painted and glazed the windows with Gallery Glass frost. Dagnabbit if I didn't get a couple of bubbles. Added a few signs and started playing with Pan Pastels. I've had a set for a year but barely touched them. Time to dive in.

Glaziing, shades, corner trim, and door sill added. Forgot to mention, I also psint the interior black; one of these days I'll suck up the courage to try lighting. I've been gathering supplies from Slim. Walls up...

Wowser! Those walls look great. This looks like a neat structure from Kenny. I'm definitely following along!

Welcome aboard, Bob and Jan! 👍🏻
