Looks great Jan. Does the door opening look oversized? They seemed to be on the kits I built.

Thanks Curt. To me the doors look a bit narrow , the openings look okay.

Hey jan:

The brick walls look just beautiful so far. Can't to see this one finished.

Thank you Karl , the brick looks real good from the 2 foot distance and the diagonal cuts are luckily not visible once painted.

Jan,

Very nicely done on the walls and I like the white lower portion. Can't tell you how many older structures in Orlando had that look. A great majority of them were torn down in the early 60's for the then new I-4 Interstate.

Thank you Tom , I do hope this would have been seen in Kansas as well, didn't really do any research on thet.

Probably not, at least not until the 70's on.  Fun fact - until 1987 you could not buy liquor in Kansas except in state run liquor stores.  Soooo, as long as you model post 1987, your store interior is good.  But let's face it, I'm the one, if not the only one, who knows this on this board, and I would not suggest you change a thing.  It looks good, and really who cares that much for historical accuracy, especially when you're dealing with Kansas.

The liquor store interior is going anyway , I totally forgot what the wall plaque says , so now I'm looking for a toy store interior in 1960 , bound to be model trains there

N-scale windows , it's hard to love them , even when they look this good.
Had to sand off the sides of each and every one to get a nice tight fit.


Some nice coloured curtains.














Painted the roof gray and while still wet scraped some powder from chalks on it.


Then some dullcoat.


And some more powders.

[Janbouli]

Wall plates or ring beams ( what's the correct name ) installed.

Awning made of lasercut wood.


Installed to the front wall.


First painted with Vallejo Primer White then some Vallejo Desert Dust Wash


Final photo's with a wash of AK Medium Grimy Gray

Very nice work, Jan.  Love the shades and the brick finish.

Jeff

[Oldguy]

Very well done.  Hard to believe that it is Nscale.

[Janbouli]

Thank you Curt, Jeff , Bob, appreciate it.

Super job Jan!  I have to remind myself that the pictures on my large monitor are larger than the actual structure itself.  If it looks great when blown up bigger than it really is that's quite a feat.

Jan,

The building came out great, very well done. I love the brick color - very natural.
