Hi All:

Castings are painted & dry-brushed and I added a few around the structure. Also added some figures per the instructions. They also have A&I applied and are dry-brushed with gray.

Looks like a bunch of slackers just lounging around waiting for a Derick to arrive.
Nice work Karl.

Hi Karl , great build thus far, just curious and hard to tell from your build but the front sliding door did you get the casting for the top of the door? I didn't get one in my kit.
Thanks
Lynn

Hi Lynn:

Yes the casting was in the kit. make sure it didn't get under the foam in the casting box. Here's a new photo. I'm working on the roof. singles are unpainted. They are Campbell shingles not the one from the kit.

Shingling looks great, look forward to the finishing of the roof.
I'll take another look for the casting Karl. Thanks

Hi Lynn & Tom:

thanks for the compliments. Got the roof finished, has cap shingles added, A&I was, Shingles lifted and dry-brushed with gray. Cut two triangles the same as the roof peaks and glued them inside of the roof to make it removable.

Here's a few pics.

Roof looks fantastic, really like the effect the grey made on it.

This looks just like something that Karl would have built.......OH wait, it WAS built by Karl.

Beautiful job Karl.
