Fos Execution Rocks

[madharry]

Then I sprayed a white primer over the front wall, rear door and window. Next up I will paint the wall with an acrylic paint.............

Unfortunately I do not have the green suggested for the kit - I have used "Spearmint" instead.......

[madharry]

Continuing..... I covered the rear wall with double sided tape and proceeded to cover it with stained 2x10's.

Next I covered the roof with rolled roofing using the double sided tape.

Here are the three main elements of the little structure.

[madharry]

Continuing........... I have added wood supports to the rear of both walls, these will support the roof which has been covered with rolled roofing.

I have made wire supports for the front awning from staples..........

Here are the two finished structures standing together................next up the third building........

[madharry]

Continuing with Execution Rocks we come to the third building - McGloin's Groceries..........

Once again I brush A&I onto the walls before sponge painting them with Antique White. Next I need to prime the windows and doors before finding an orange paint as suggested by Fos.

I found some MEC Orange for the trim!

[madharry]

The lower front wall is made up of layers of lazerboard and matboard..........

[madharry]

The front piece is built up in several layers of lazerboard............and here is the top half to show how it goes together. I will spray the bottom half primer white before painting it MEC Orange.

Then I added corner trim to the walls.

[madharry]

Here are the main elements of the structure prior to gluing together. I have cut out the wall sign and glued it to the small side wall.

Next I glazed the windows bar the big shop window with Canopy Glue. The front window was glazed with acetate and the signage was affixed behind. This hides the empty interior.

The roof card was painted with the trim colour - orange. Once again rolled roofing affixed by double sided tape was used on the roof.

Then the structure was glued together.........

Hi Mike:

Looks great so far.

Here is the completed building with the other two..........

I decided to skip the last building in the row - "Bennet Nautical Traders" - for the moment. This building is covered in Northeastern corrugated sheets made from wood. To my mind these look a little too thick and I want to experiment with the old Campbell's metal siding first..........

So to the big one - "Peckham Sail Makers" - I have located I hope all the windows and affixed them to my cardboard painting tray and then sprayed them primer white.

Next I located all the walls and braced them...........

[madharry]

Thanks Karl I appreciate it.

Continuing....

Here are the glazed windows and the walls suitably treated with Alcohol & Ink......... I glazed the windows with Canopy Glue - 606 panes on 66 windows in 22 minutes......

[madharry]

Next I sprayed the lazer board doors primer white and made them up..........

[madharry]

Continuing.......... I painted the main walls of Peckham's with an acrylic paint by Liquitex - Naphithol Crimson........... Most of the painting was done by sponging on a wash of this colour.

I then aged the walls by scribing horizontal lines along each board, adding nail holes and generally distressing the walls. I added light washes of grey paint using a sponge before dry brushing with antique white paint.

Mike,

I'm happy you are here and sharing the thread. It just got to hard to check in on the other forum, even for me!

Great build and I'm enjoying the thread.

Great thread Mike!  I've picked up a few new tips already. 

I agree with your observations on the corrugated siding material.  The Northeastern is much easier to work with but I don't care for the thickness.  It becomes very apparent where pieces overlap.

I have this one waiting in the wings thanks to a multi-kit trade that also involved a build to be named later.
