Dave great signs and work.

The dog really looks realistic

It's getting the look of real hair in HO that's tough.🤣 Got the winders painted. Lettin' 'em cure.

You're moving along nicely, the signs on the walls look great, it'll be interesting to see what you decide on the Tooth  outside.

Great job on the structure and great signage.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, gents.  After painting the 1/16 corner trim I give it a quick pass with the sanding stick to remove some of the paint and get rid of the fuzzies. Then a quick inkahol wash and some dry-dabbing with the driftwood warsh.

[Dave K.]

Same treatment for winders 'n' doors, then dry-brushing of white.  Don't ferget yer knobs!

In the dictionary under "tedious."

Coming on very well, Dave.

I'm a big fan of this particular Foscale offering - a kit with a lot of character.  I would have bought it - but I plan on doing a scratch-build of an even taller very similar structure still standing in Tinakori street, Wellington, New Zealand.  This one a full 5 stories!

Cheers, Mark.

Dave,

I forgot to say I'm following but I have been lurking. I also love what you've done on the build.

That is a very cool building, Mark. Hope you'll invite us along for the ride when you get to it. One of the things I liked about Gordon's was how it's stepped-back on a couple of levels. That and it's nice and narrow across the front for a town scene.

Thanks for following, Tom. Always a privilege to have you aboard.👍🏻

Hey Dave did you do the window panes with the Canopy glue?

[Dave K.]

Sometimes I use the acetate sheets. I like Gallery Glass, which I used here. Some don't like the waviness but I'm fine with it. I haven't used canopy glue since I started using GG a few years back. It also comes in a frosted version. I use GG simulated liquid leading for roofing tar/pitch.

[Dave K.]

You can see a bubble or two got past me, here.

[Lynnb]

I'll tell you it sure looks good from here.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, my friend.👍🏻
