Mike,

The post office looks great but I do have a couple of observations/suggestions,

    1 - In addition to the I/A wash I would use a darker stain along the bottom of the building to show dirt splashed up on the building due to caused by rain.
    2 - All Post Offices I've seen also includes a sign indicating the town they are in.

Just my 2c (CDN) worth.

Looking forward to your next build.

Howdy folks,

Philip, thank you for the kind comment.  The shingles are from Dr Ben's.  Pinking shears are too small for O scale.

Rick, thank you for following and sharing your wisdom.

Larry, I have appreciated your support and encouragement.

Ron, thanks for your comments and following the build.  Indeed, the lower edges need some darkening.  I plan to do that when I plant the PO on the layout in hopes of blending it in with adjacent buildings and the terrain.  Great catch on the city sign.  I will add one.  I appreciate your comments.

Kyle, thank you for the supportive comments. I do appreciate them.

Have fun,
mike



My current builds are a Post Office. and miscellaneous rolling stock

Mike,

Your post office turned out terrifically.  I like the architecture; very classy.  As for the general neatness and clean appearance, I know you plan to dirty it a bit, but I think post offices were generally kept up because like banks, they had an image to maintain.

Looking forward to seeing your fine structures planted on your layout.

Mike, Howdy,

The PO is wonderful and weathered just right! Well done sir.
