I'm following along as well. I have this one in the old "orange" box and was going to build it for Tahope. I opted for Dexter's Dead End instead.

Hey John:

Built that a couple of months ago for my friends layout. It's a very nice little kit. Enjoy your build. I'll be following along.

The walls have been primed with Chamo Sand paint and I'm starting the gluing and bracing process.

[S&S RR]

I will be gluing the main building together before I start the detail painting of the walls.  I have used this technique on my last four or five builds and like it better than the traditional finish everything flat and then glue it together. I find it easier and that I have less touchup painting.

The stone castings went together real nice after I squared them up on the disk sander. It took a couple clamping sequences to get all the glue joints.

After assembly, the structure was brought back to my detailing bench and I colored the stones with pan pastels.  I actually, painted them on by adding alcohol.  For the stonework I used Raw Umber with a Yellow Ocher Extra Dark. The Raw Umber was applied tenth Yellow Ocher was applied by dabbing the brush in a random pattern.

Here is a progrès picture as I started the process.

[S&S RR]

Painted the brick portions of the wall brick red and then followed up with a raw umber tint which was removed from the faces of the bricks with an eraser. I painted the vent fans a dark green.
