Merchant's Row I, A Magnuson Kit Bash

[ACL1504]

My paint brush decided to not paint a straight line. I taped off the offending area and resprayed the wall.



Next I'll add some mortar and some light weathering on the walls. I have another detail to add to the rear walls.

Done for today on this one.

Oops, forgot this one.

That looks very good Tom.

Looking good Tom, I felt your pain when I knocked over a bottle of Floquil Burlington Northern green and lost most of it.....darn.

Greg,

Yes, I remember now you did that. By the way, Dam holds back water and Damn is what we say to be polite, as in "Damn right you sure did!"

You know you are my fall guy, right?

Tom

Yeah, I know.....maybe I should have said dang-nab-it.....

I hate when the paint brush doesn't cooperate and does it's own thing.
It's all coming together nicely.

Tom,

Love the colour choices for the buildings.

My Fort Sill gunnery instructor had a phrase he'd often use with us new lieutenants.  That phrase is particularly useful for expressing frustration.  ("bleep me to tears!")  A couple months ago, I met on-line another guy who had SFC Hedge for gunnery, and we laughed about our shared adoption of his signature phrase.

Rick,

I try to hide all the brushes that want to not do what I want. However, a few find their way back.

Dave,

I'll try to remember the "bleep me to tears". However, the street cop in me has another version. One I can't share here.

I do have one I can share. My partner stopped a guy for Loitering and Prowling one night. We asked him what he was doing behind the building with a screwdriver at 3AM. His response was "Seniors, no habla English". Mack, my partner, looked and him and said, "Listen up dirt bag, comprende jail M** F**r." All of a sudden he learned to speak English and said, " See policia, I understand." 

True story.

 Jerry,

Thank you and yes, those pesky brushes sometimes have a mind of their own.

Tom, I'm sure you can do the appropriate military term for "bleeping"

Hey Tom, when Pegi's dad, an ex NYPD LT, was a beat cop, he used to get guys on "Loitering and Attempting To Gawk".....
