Dave,

They probably would have but I already reopened them. Will show that later in the build.

Not sure anyone noticed but on Jason's kit bash the main structure is set on a stone foundation. It's hard to see with all the junk and details around the building.

KC's Workshop did include a stone foundation in the kit.



I stained it twice with Testors Driftwood and let dry. When dry I applied a final stain of Hunterline Light Gray A&I.

Hard to see the driftwood stain in the next photo.



More in a few.

Here is a better view with the two coats of driftwood. It absorbs it like a sponge.



Continued after cropping a few more photos. I forgot to do them.

I needed to add a HO scale 4X6 under this side wall section. I'll paint it white but most of this wall won't be seen when the side roof is installed.



I also needed to add the interior wall roof support of the back roof.

I placed the upper rear wall against the rear gabled end and used a pencil to mark the angle.



More in a few.

Remember this piece? It's the gabled end of the front wall with I removed it to add the second story.



More in a few. Diet Pepsi time - again!

I glued 10X10s to the rear and cut the excess off following the angle of the roof line.



I then glued this piece to the rear wall flush with the pencil lines.



Note that in the photo, this piece looks lower than the left gabled end. It isn't!

More in a few.

Living in Florida we have a bit of humidity at times. Often, when working in the train building, I don't run the AC or heat.

I don't want any surprises with any roof sags, so, I added more bracing for the roof panels.



Up next are the doors and windows.

Tom,


As usual, a well documented step by step thread.  This is going to be a real attention getter on your layout.

Hey Tom:

It is looking very nice so far. Keep the pics coming.
