Merchant's Row II - A Magnuson Kit.

[ACL1504]

Yepper, off on another journey. My plan is to get the buildings in place for Tahope and then begin the painting process.

My next build will be Magnuson's Merchant's Row II.

I bought this one about a month after I got MR I.

The walls in this one are more sticky than the other kit. And, the two long walls are more warped.





Done for today.

I look forward to seeing all the construction in Tahope.

I bashed this one last year (the Walthers styrene version) back on Railroad-Line.com.  So I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

Dave,

Thanks for following along. I'm not sure I'll change this kit much other than a lot of signs and roof top details

Jerry,

My building seems to come in bunches like bananas. Lots today and none tomorrow.

Hi Tom, your giving me modeling whiplash with all that you have going on now.
I built this one a long time ago as well, if memory serves me didn't the turret come as metal castings?
I did not see them or the roof for it in your photos of the kit's contents.
Best of luck with this one!

Greg,

My builds seem to come in bunches like bananas. All here and then none.  

Yes, the turret does have the metal castings. I just left them out of the photos.

Probably won't get back to this one until Thursday. To many 1:1 stuff to do, Spring has sprung here ins Central Fl.

In the later Walthers version, the turret is also molded in Styrene.  It takes some work to get a good fit.  Now I changed the angle of the bays a bit, but even with a 'stock' layout, some crack filling would be necessary.


I cut floor shapes and used that and styrene strip to add strength.


And here's the result, used as a 3d flat.


And my approach to sidewalks and cobblestone streets..
