FOS' Pub Crawl Build

[ACL1504]

The angled roof will be rolled roofing, the gabled roof will be shingled and the flat roof will be gravel.





I plan on a few extra details for the exterior but they will be discussed in detail later in the build.

The next two photos show where this section of the Pub Crawl will be located on the layout.





Done for now.

Nice job on the first building.  I'm gonna be on the lookout for that metallic paint--really looks good.

Really nice results so far on this, Tom.  Separating the one large pub from the others is genius and gives more options for some of those things we all seem to like: more wall space for signs, sketchy alleys, areas for junk to accumulate next to walls.

Eager to see more!

Jeff,

Thank you, appreciate the compliment. The paint is one we all should have in the paint stash.

George,

Thanks very much. The separating of the one was a good idea and now it looks better in my opinion. Although, it would be fine as one structure. I'm ready to add peeps and junk around the buildings.

It's always good to know all is on the level. 



I added exterior rafters and will trim them to fit once the roofs are placed.



I also weathered the walls using pastels and Hunterline Medium Brown and Light Gray A&I mix. You'll see this in later thread photos.


More in a few.

I was rooting around under the layout one day and found my old box of roofing materials. Way back in 1985 I purchased a few sheets of The Rock Quarry roofing papers.

I had just a little of the green left. These are so old that a couple of pieces broke just picking them up.



I managed to get just enough of the green to cover the Irish Pub roof. I used double sided tape on the roof panel and then added the green paper.

The green paper was trimmed to fit. I used Hunterline Light Gray A&I and pastels to weather the roof.





Rafter tails were added after the roof was weathered.

[ACL1504]

Irish Pub sign still needs some weathering.



More on the thread tomorrow afternoon.

Tom,


An Irish Pub with a green sign and green roofing.  I wonder if the beer is green year around or only on St. Patty's day.  Love the weathering on that roof, looks prototypic and really makes the roof "pop"!

Looks great Tom. Love the pub sign.

Hi Tom,

Love the look of that green roof.  Looking forward to more updates.
