Nice work Tom!

Thank You Philip...here is a photo taken when coloring the shingles for the SRMW # 280 Wrisley Paper . Kit comes with these 2 sheets that have to be colored with markers before they are cut up per the instructions...
top grey sheet shows out of the box and bottom grey sheet shows ready for install on roof ... Tommy

Nice update Tom.  I really like the coloring.
Working on two buildings takes some patience so as not to get confused .

Thanks Jerry, just left Mike the color info above and found out that these 2 kits share the same size floor templates too...also found a photo of the SRMW Whitney Bent kit when the walls were being raised...Tommy

 Yes, this soon to be 77 year young structure builder does other things when time permits like finally getting around to the staining and assembly of a freight platform from the FSM Chippy Hollow kit... I always remember that many modelers are better than me, so just do your best you can and keep building those items in your storage bin because it helps relieve stress ! ..... Tommy

Great looking platform Tommy.

Tom the platforms are looking great.

There may be better modelers but you're sure giving them a run for their money!!

Mark, for the SRMW Wrisley kit the Northeastern shingle sheets we used Prismacolor Premier cool colors, # 20,30,40,50 with the fine tip end of the markers. The cool colors are more blue grey, and the warm colors are more brownish in tint. Place a paper towel above the row being worked on so that will catch any bleed over and make it look neat....Tommy

Thanks Jerry, the freight platform is done with Hunterline Greige stain and depending on the lighting in the RR room will look brown or grey in tone.... Tommy
