CCK Doc Koontz Build

[ACL1504]

I used my stringers and cut the steps from the stained 2X6s. The stringers and stairs were glued in place and left to dry.

When dry, I touched up the sides of the stringer and steps.



I then glued on the stair railing.

I made two small angle brackets for the roof that will be positioned over the two doors.



Prior top gluing the roof in place, I added a few rafter tails. I also used the same Stoney Creek roof paper as I did for the lower sub assembly. Both roofs were weathered with pastel chalks.

The finial for the turret was the wrong shape on the bottom. I cut and flied the bottom so it fit as it should.

Also, I painted it with Floquil Brass and found the color to bright. I used Model Masters Jet Exhaust for the finial color.

You'll see the finial later in the thread.



Back in a few, Diet Pepsi time.

The finial and three chimneys were glued in place. I made a few final touches on the rear roofs and the patina on the upper main roof.

This completed the build.

Here are the final photos. Details were added as I went.

Have fun,
