Schwarz Foundry - 2019 Challenge Build - aka FSM Sewall's Foundry

[S&S RR]

Building B is on the left in this picture, the walls for building C are on the right.

Glueing the walls for building C.

I painted on the window shades in build A.

[S&S RR]

The paint wasn't completely dry when I took this picture.  I added a second coat to the windows to get the coverage I was looking for.

[S&S RR]

A little A&I and those window shades will look like there in a foundry.

[S&S RR]

I painted the interior Grimmy Black.  There is no interior detail in building A and Gimmy Black is the appropriate color for the interior of a foundry.  Trust me, I've seen a few of them.

Next up, is the roof card.  Here I'm doing the test fit.

[S&S RR]

Gluing on the roof card using the "JAN" technique with a sand back.  One of the best techniques I have learned reading the forum.  It just works.

Sand bags!  Wow!  That really is a great idea.  I'll have to try that on my next roof install.  Your build is coming along nicely John.  Keep the pics coming.

Jan (aka Janbouli here on the forum) posted some pictures of one of his builds where he was using them, when he saw the way I used to do it with about 20 different weights. The sand puts the weight right were you need it. As I said it just works. Thank you for following along.

I really like the rough stone walls.

Another great stone wall building, love them all John.

Thank you for the kind words.  I will be adding some highlights to it once construction is complete and I'm done handling it.  Hopefully I will not screw it up!
