Finished pics look fantastic, I'm not looking forward to the boxes and crates. Will you not be doing any ground work or will you leave that to John?

Any tips on painting the shingles on the office and loading dock roof? So far I have just painted them with the Floquil Earth.

Thanks Lynn!  Yours is coming along quite nicely.  The ground work will be left to John.  He has a spot picked out for it on his layout and will scenic around it once he's satisfied with the positioning.  He was really only interested in the main structure but might find a place for the smaller supporting structures too.

I went with George's instructions on the shingles and just painted them with Floquil Earth, picked up some shingles with tip of a knife and then applied some A&I to darken them followed by a light dry brushing of and off white.

Bob;

Thank you for spending the time to detail your methods on building this kit. I know it takes a lot of time and thought. Learned a lot and bookmarked the thread for future reference.

The end result looks fantastic. It is going to be an eye catcher on the layout.

Thanks Jim!  Glad to hear that you find something useful in all of this.  Makes it worth doing.   :D

Thanks Bob , I'm always looking for new aproaches from you guys that do this stuff with your eyes closed.
I just finished putting on the little roofs on the office and the trim. I'll be posting again soon.

Nice work as usual, Bob!

Thanks Jeff!  It was a fun one!  Next up is FSM Avram's Bakery for the other John (S&S) along with a smaller FOS kit for the build challenge.   :D


Bob


This build looks great. And you know I'm looking forward to your next build.  I have already picked out a spot for it on the S&S RR. I will send you some pictures later this week. It will be in the foreground with my current Threadwell's build up on the mountain behind it. I also have a pretty good idea of the structures the will surround it. I will explain more when I have the picture.

Thanks John!  I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for Avram's.  I've got two weeks of vacation (at home) coming up and I'm looking forward to getting a good start on it.   :D

Thanks Jim!  If I wasn't trying to lose some weight I'd say bring cookies.   ;D
