Howdy folks,

Jerry and Philip, thanks for your comments.

Davie, I, too, miss Louis.  I wish he would join us here.

Curt, since the sheriffs of the era didn't wear uniforms, just plain everyday clothing, I think you are spot on. I found this guy on Cult3D, and he might just work perfectly.


Rick, thanks for stopping by.

Curt, thanks for the recommendation.

Larry, I purchased the EPS board at Home Depot.

Thanks, everyone, for following the build.

Have fun,
mike

Howdy folks,

I finished the retaining walls for Main Street.  The walls are in three sections.



On the layout, paving Main Street will be next.  I have't decided if it will be a dirt road or paved.

Have fun,
mike

Howdy folks,

The primer coat and base coat are finished on the Sheriff's office.  Next will be individual stone coloring and pigment shading.



Have fun,
mike

Looks great Mike. The brick reminds me of adobe.

[Larry C]

Mike I can't believe how well you can see each individual brick; great job!!

Mike, Howdy,

The sheriff's Office is looking very good, well done.

Louis, "The Plastic Addict", anyone in contact with him? I enjoyed his projects.

Howdy folks,

Curt, Larry, and Tom, thank you for following along and supporting my habit.  

Tom, I miss Louis, too, and wish he were here.

I didn't have much time at the bench, but I did manage to put another layer of weathering on the sheriff's office.  I plan two more layers of dry-brushed colors, then pigment to blend with the rest of the structures.



Have fun,
mike

[Jerry]

Howdy folks,

The Sheriff's office is nearing completion.  All that remains is installing front porch posts, installing the window bars, adding the floor, adding a Sheriff's Office sign, and adding the corrugated porch roof.  Then I'll need to get a sheriff figure sitting back on a chair...

Here is a view showing the porch roof frame.

Have fun,

How did you do the tile roof?  That looks great, we don't see that very often.
