Michael,

Looks fantastic. Your methods are easy and the results are perfect. Thanks for sharing.

I'm definitely going to try them.

Hey Graffen:

Very well done so far. Can't wait to see more.

Started construction of the upstairs interior on the Saloon.
All made out of matte board.

The doors are not 3 dimensional, but have the relief painted on.

The floor and inner walls are removable downward so I can glue the roof in place and still be able to service the interior.

With some 3D printed furniture and nice lighting, it will look quite convincing.

Outstanding!


Very nice of your friend to gift you a genuine Tom Yorke. I heard Yorke was still doing some work but in large scale only.


The Pool Hall and Bordello most definitely have that railroady feel that looks great on just about any layout.

hey Graffen:

Looks great so far. I assume you be adding interior details.

Looks great so far Graffen.....

Progressed a little bit on the construction.
Everything is built so the upper part of the building is relatively easy to disassemble from the main building, the upper floor and the Saloon interior needs to have easy access to the lighting.



I had to change the construction of the porch roof a bit to make it more durable.


Here the upper floor is lifted off.


The upper interior can also be lifted out to access the saloon interior.


It took a few adjustments to make every connection tight, but not too good ....

Very nice.

[Graffen]

Thanks! 
I've applied the tar paper roofing.
I used surgical tape that I painted rust red.


I also weathered the corrugated metal wall.

The next step is to add the roof cap and tar seals and to build the various chimneys and pipes and then weather the roof.

Looks great so far , love the veranda.

Hey Graffen:

Great coloring and weathering. Just love it.

Graffen...........

Your aged flaking white paint is just terrific.

I need to work on a way to duplicate that idea...... 


It is amazing how much stuff was painted white over the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.  I remember asking my dad when I was a kid what color he was going to paint something around the house.......... including parts of the house.
I recall thinking as a kid how boring white was.   After a while I stopped asking.

Thanx

I don't know how common some other colors were in the US in the 19th century.
Here the most common were white, oxide red, black, green and ochre.
It was also common to make a light blueish color by mixing lamp black with white...

Just caught up. Super build! I was very interested in the 3D resin parts you produced.
