Kit Bashing Jason Jensen's Kit Bash of 3 KC's Workshop Kits.

Okay, all walls for the second story are now cut and door and windows fit for test purposes.



The main first floor walls are finished and door and windows installed for test purposes.

Happy to say all fit as planned. Check!



More in a few.

I attempted to use blue painters tape to hold it together to show how it looks. The tape must have been old as it didn't hold very well but I think you can get an idea how it is going to look.

I used the small ponce wheel from Micro Mark and added the obligatory nail holes to the walls.

Bracing, in fact, extra bracing was added to the back of all walls.

After all the bracing was glued and dry, I chose to add some A&I for the first coat.

I used Hunterline Driftwood and Light Gray A&I as samples.



Light Gray on the left and Driftwood on the right.

I decided to go with Hunterline Light Gray for the wall stain.

It goes on dark but dries much lighter. Here the walls have been dry for a few hours. It also better shows the nail holes.



I've made no decision on the small substructure to the right as shown in Jason's build.

[ACL1504]

Also, I will use white for the main color but as yet haven't decided on the trim color.

A word/thought on the second story door. The door will be accessed by scratch built exterior stairs. I may bring them down straight or use a corner landing and take the stairs down on the right lower wall.

I'll hopefully have new updates in a few days.

Looks awesome. You're almost as quick as Greg building this structure.

Tom,

Very clear explanation of the changes you are making to Jason's kitbash.  I really like the choice of the second floor windows and door.  The two pane transom and twin upper panes of the windows give that wall some character.

Jerry,

Thank you for the compliment, much appreciate it. I think you'll really like how I finish the second story.

Uncle Tommie,
This is so cool!  I just wanted to let you know that I will be placing an order for this kit this week.

So I guess you could say for buying another kit,

Opps, I did it again!
