Title: Sierra West Logging Camp:
Post by: postalkarl on April 29, 2019, 05:20:56 PM
Hi All:

Will be building the Sierra West Logging camp. My friend just wants me to build the structures with out bases so he can install them on the layout easier. It would be a rather large diorama.

I think I will start with Main street.

Well Karl this should be real interesting!  Especially with your talent!

Are you going to follow the manual or do your own coloring thing??

Jerry
Title: Re: Sierra West Logging Camp:
Post by: postalkarl on April 30, 2019, 04:27:08 PM
Hi Jerry:

I'm doing my own thing. It says peeling paint finish. I do not like the peeling paint effect. I have the front and back walls done. Hope they look OK. let me know OK guys. Boards are not glued to walls per instructions. I used 3M #465 Double adhesive tape. Probably cut the time in half. Plus no oozing glue between joints. Boardsa are stained with A&I. Doors & windows are Floquil Earth

Karl

Excellent work as always, Karl. Simply top notch.  And you know what they say about forgetfulness:  A touch of forgetfulness is,..um hold on...I'll think of it...

Looks fantastic Karl.
Karl what technique are you using on the oil tanks and tallish tanks? The kit I'm working on is from 2000's and Brett had a different technique I think. Just curious if you're using the Sierra West instructions for the tanks?

They are sprayed with Hardware Store Spray Paint. Probably Flat Black and Red Oxide.
