Kit Building / Walthers HO Modern Concrete Warhouse
December 21, 2020, 07:28:43 PM
Hi All:

This is A structure I build for one of my friends RRs. It is A background building. It is painted with Scalecoat Aged Concrete. Doors are painted with Dark Gray Primer from Krylon. The dark gray trim around the doors is unpainted and just Dull Coated. I used the signs that were in the kit. Hope it looks OK.

Hey Guys:

Here's a model I scratch built years ago. Mike Tylick, my friend Karl O. and myself built this structure.

When I saw the one Karl o. built I just had to build one for myself. He mad the Callahan's signs for me. As you can see it is a cut away model and has a complete 2 floor interior. I had A lot of fun building this. I thought you guys might enjoy seeing it.

Here's a few pictures.

P.S: Karl O made the signs.

Kit Building / FSM Emporium Seafood Co
October 31, 2019, 04:15:52 PM
Hi Guys:

Am starting Emporium Seafood Co today. We will be doing this A little differently this time. This will not be built as a diorama. It will be built as separate structures so it will be easier to install on my friends layout. I also don't want to do the water at this time. That way all the water can be done at the sdame time and will look the same.
