T. Schwarz Waterproofing

[Dave K.]

Ready to jump into the Winter Build Challenge. Started monkeying with a kitbash mockup just before Christmas. I hope to bash FOS's Wiley Waterproofing (renamed in Tom's honor) and Carter Supply.

[Dave K.]

First time doing a pre-build mockup.

[Dave K.]

In another version I incorporated Rohlen's Welding on the right side, but decided that was overkill. The backstory is that Tom later expanded the waterproofing enterprise to include plumbing supplies. I may incorporate the latest FOS freebie (Green Cab Co.) into a tool rental booth or something along those lines.

[Dave K.]

Good morning and Happy New Year. Coffee's on the way and strip wood is in the inkahol soup.

[Dave K.]

Wonder if I could pull off a sign like this? Maybe just a planter outside the office.

Dave,


You are full of creative ideas, and I'll be following along to see where this goes...ends up, etc.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, Jerry. The ideas are the easy part! Here's the companion kit. Tom and I were shooting the bull in line at the FOS booth in Albany and these were the kits I was buying, so I thought the match was appropriate. He was buying two Wileys...one to take back to a friend who couldn't make the Expo.


Meeting friends for dinner and a movie later, and only six days left before back-to-work, so gotta hit the new year runnin'.

[Dave K.]

...and the third possible kit for incorporating into the mess. This will end up bigger than the Winter Challenge guidelines. Oh, well...

[GPdemayo]

This one looks to be great fun.....I'll be looking in. 

[PRR Modeler]

I'll be following.

[Dave K.]

Happy New Year, Greg and Curt. Not much cleanup needed on the hydrocal walls...just a little flash in the door openings. That touch of pink you see is overspray from a color test on the other side. Boy, good thing I tested it...NOTHING like the color on the can!

[S&S RR]

Wow Dave


You are out of the blocks quick. Sounds like a great build - I will be following along.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, John...I feel a bit rusty...gonna take 'er slow.


A few air bubble boogers...the soft tip of a toothpick will take care of those.

[ReadingBob]

Of course I'll be following along as well.  I like the look of Wiley's Waterproofing and added it to my wish list.  Can't wait to see what you do with it.   

[Dave K.]

Having decided to forego the dazzling pink, I rooted around the paint shelf and pulled #7767 Redwood. It's labeled "satin" but I've used it before...goes on nice and flat.
