RS Laser The Grove Building

[Janbouli]

It's been a while that I've done a build , finally found my way to the workbench again.
The box.


The color instructions.


The Contents


Cutting bracing.


Bracing is not parallel with the top.





Primer gray from a rattlecan.


Bricks done with several color's of artistsmarkers.


Brushed with white chalkpowder.

[Janbouli]

Building up the front entrance and windows.






N-scale windows are tiny.


Gluing the windows in place , holding them with tape , the tape is not very sticky so it can be easily removed afterwards.








Building the walls , using square blocks .

[Janbouli]

And miniature clamps.


Then building stairs , my most dreaded part of any building that has them.


Weathered the floors.


Some photo's as interior.





Placing the balustrade.


More later.

Jan,

Welcome back! Looks like you are more than half way in the build. I love the wall coloring, looks like an old weathered brick building.

I can't even imagine working on stuff that small.  Great start.

Thanks Curt , Rich , Bob , glad to have you along.

[Janbouli]

I can't even imagine working on stuff that small.  Great start.

Good glasses and lighting help a lot.

My signature on nScale.net "As long as I can model in N-scale, I know I'm not old" , hope I can say that for many years to come.

[Janbouli]

So I finally did some modeling again.

Did the trim for the roof , built up out of 3 parts of 3 parts each.


Roofing done , tar paper provided in kit.


Overview of backside balconies and stairs.


Side with stucco and bricks.


Roof with first weathering with powders, sprayed it with dullcoat , we'll see what it looks like after , will probably need more weathering because the dullcoat fades a lot of the powders.

[rslaserkits]

Coming along great Jan like all your other builds. Stairs are not that bad just take a little time
Oh we have this kit in HO, TT and even Z scale also.

Nice detailing, walls and roof look good. I tried the dull coat on painted paper roof and then hit it with alcohol 10 minutes later, worked good but just have to watch the dull coat doesn't go on too heavy or it gets a big white spot.

Jan, looks really good with a lot of nice features.  I like the ragged edge to the roofing paper and the ghostly remains of an old building on the side walls.
