Horwood Brothers Gas, Oil and Service - Rail Scale Miniatures.

[ACL1504]

I used 8X8s to make a floor base frame. I made the floor out of thin cardboard and painted it a tan color. When the paint was dry, I sprayed it with a gloss finish.

I then glued it inside the small office on the floor frame. This office will have the door open.

I used a 2ply cardboard for the the service bay. I needed a little more side edge to glue it in place. I used HO scale 2X4s and glued them to the top of the cardboard flush with the sides.

I also sanded down the front edge of the cardboard to remove the square edge.

To match the red, I painted them with Floquil Signal Red. I pained t he floor with Folkart Cool Concrete.

I'll use pastels and A&I to weather the floor later in the build.





When the bay floor is installed, you can't see the scale 2X4s on the sides and the floor is a little darker.

For the office on the left, I installed a wooden oak floor. I used the same style of floor bracing as I did with the office on the right.



This middle building is now ready for stucco.

Done for today.

Tom, it couldn't have been easy make that doorway bigger with the walls put together.
Floors look good.
I'm always floored by your creativity.

Great job Tom.  Like I've said before you can learn a lot about modeling watching you do one of these kits!!

Nice workaround on this kit, Tom.
It appears you have this under control.

Howdy Tom,

The details you are adding to the interior are top notch.  Horwood is progressing nicely.  It's fun to watch your build.

Have fun,
