Jeff, that's looking very good.
Nice job on the scenery.

Jeff,

You are making great progress on the kit and it looks great as well. It will be an excellent addition to the layout.

Howdy Jeff,

Oddmun and Co. is looking terrific.  Wow, that's a lot of details to paint.  It will take longer to paint them than to build the rest of the kit! 

Have fun,
mike

Hello Mike, Thanks for the kind words. It is a lot of detail castings and that wasn't all of them. I will paint them a few at a time as needed. What fun.

Awnings were MUCH more common, and rarely modeled, for the era before air conditioning.

dave

Hello Dave, you're right. Whenever I see street scenes of the late 1940's which is the period that I model, it seems like every business has an awning.

Jeff, that's looking very good.
Nice job on the scenery.

Hello Rick, thanks for looking in and for the nice comments

Jerry

Hello Jerry, you're right- the details always make a scene more complete and they help tell the story

Jeff,

You are making great progress on the kit and it looks great as well. It will be an excellent addition to the layout.

Tom

Hello Tom, thanks for taking the time to look in and to comment- it means a lot.

Nice work, Jeff.  Excellent job of fitting the two roofs together.

George

Hello George, I hard quite the time getting those roofs to fit together and I'm very pleased with how well it all came out.

Continuing on...

The barn door assembly has been glued in place showing off the interior.



The large stack has been placed in the rear roof and the wood walkway has been completed. A rabbit hutch has been placed along the side. This detail comes with the kit. I glued on some screen material per the instructions, but something about it doesn't look right to me.



Details have been added to the right side dock area. The stack of bags on the dock comes with the kit. The detail of the 3D castings is very impressive. The wood corral filled with flour bags near the front corner also came with the kit. I built a second wood corral and placed it next to the other one.



The cornice has been added. This is a 3D printed one piece casting. The decorative owls on the corners is a nice touch. I painted them with a copper paint I have on hand. I also added a couple of non-working lights above the sign. I'm pleased with the addition of the front awning framework and the wood decking. It gives the storefront a busy look while still allowing views of the recessed entryway.



This is a nice view of the roof. I painted on some black roof tar along the valley seams and also a couple of pigeons, that come with the kit, along with the requisite pigeon poop. The security bars on the side window are another nice detail.

Those owls will keep the pigeons off the roof!

Unfortunately, Dave, the birds soon cotton on the the fact they aren't real.  I put an owl on a stand attached to a post under the large eve of our barn to stop the birds nesting in the rafters.  It didn't make the slightest difference!

Cheers, Mark.

[Mark Dalrymple]

This is looking superb, Jeff!

I really like the stepping stones - a lovely little detail.

Cheers, Mark.

With the additions you've made to all of the scenery and details, this build is certainly
very nice. I like all of the changes you made too.

Hello Dave and Mark, unfortunately Dave, I have to agree with Mark, I saw a picture of one of those fake owls with a pigeon sitting on the top of it once. Thanks to you both for looking in.

This is looking superb, Jeff!

Cheers, Mark.

Hello Mark, thank you for the feedback, it's appreciated

With the additions you've made to all of the scenery and details, this build is certainly
very nice. I like all of the changes you made too.

Rich

Hello Rich, thanks for looking in and for the nice comments. I can't seem to help myself as far as changing a kits appearance. I guess it's because I've done so many scratch builds. I look at a kit as a starting point.

Jeff, all those details are bring the scene to life.
Nice job!

Hello Rick, once the structure is done, it's time for the real fun to begin with the details. And yes, they do bring a build to life.

Jeff really a nice job!!

Jerry

Hello jerry, thank you sir

Hello Mike, thank you for the nice comments and I am having a lot of fun with this build. Craig did a wonderful job with the design and engineering.

Neat Lil Structure!
