City Classics 101 Grant Ave.

Started this kit many moons ago and never finished, needless to say it kind of fell apart from rough handling and was put back in it's package. I found it again going through my stash of stuff and this will fit right in with the building kick I've been on lately. The front and all the brick sides I had already painted using enamel paints so all that was needed is reassembly and detailed.  The pictures are where I'm at right now.

Howdy Gary, exceptional job painting and building the structure. Are you lighting the interior?  Have fun, mike

Yeah, super paint job!   And good color choices for 1920s and beyond.

Beautiful!

How many beers did it take to steady your hands for that paint job!

 Did you make the Mohawk signage yourself, or was that part of the kit?
 I ask, because most of my business names on my North Coast Railroad are indigenous  names to upstate NY

Really nice paintwork, Gary.

The City Classics kits are a joy to work with.  They go together very well and are very crisp, but it is a lot of work to get the paintwork as good as you have got it.

Cheers, Mark.

The paint job looks fantastic and the colour selection is spot on.

Dave, only a few beers. The signage was something I had in my stash that would fit the area.

Yeah, really!  That beer seems to be quite effective, judging by the results.

Finally managed some time to work on some of the smaller details, downspouts, lights and FD connection on the rear of the building.


The roof top was in bad need of some details and think I filled it up, billboard, water tower and doghouse.



that's it for now, sidewalk next.

Great looking details Gary.
