FSM Kit #30 Signal Tower

[postalkarl]

Hi All:

Here's A few progress shots. Hope it looks ok. Does this look OK? I don't know why the windows look so black from the A&I. They don't show up at all like that in person. Neither does the door.

Hey guys:

started working on the upper floor part of the structure only to find out one of the walls was wrong. It should have 1 window & 1 door. Had to make A new one. Here's A photo.

Karl,
What a classic kit. Like your new brickwork.
Still have a B/W photo someplace here of that kit build from almost 50 years ago...

Karl,


As usual, it looks great. 


Regarding your comment about the A/I looking dark on the windows.  In my experience the camera is very sensitive to reflected light.  A friend gave me a small station that he had scratch built that had been damaged in storage.  None of the Floquil I had was even close to matching the original color.  I mixed some acrylics and touched everything up.  To the naked eye the building looked like the paint was all original.  I took a couple photos and they looked like the paint was ring streaked and speckled.  After a little research I learned it most likely was due to the reflected light reacting differently to the two types of paint.  My guess is that is what happened with the windows.

Your usual high standards.
