The Missing Box, found in plain site of course. |
That was a pretty big box for this small package. Wrapped in bubblewrap and filled in with shipping peanuts. I hate shipping peanuts. |
Prepping the windows and doors |
Primed windows and doors |
And while the primer was drying I applied the tan wallpaper to the interior walls of the main floor. Pulled out my weights to make sure they dried nice and flat. |
My weathering formula applied to the exterior walls |
Some more exterior walls. Don't be considered with even coverage since its going to be covered with paint. |

I finally get to test fit the windows and doors. You can see here that I will need to lengthen the doors to fit the actual size of the door opening. |
More windows and doors being test fitted. |
And I was able to build the triple window that's on the trackside of the station. |
Good stuff! I always enjoy your build logs. I also like the fact that you take the time to make the interiors playable. I'm off to search your blog for your brush recommendations as I have finally decided that my brushes are really limiting my technique.
ReplyDeleteSean, if you can't find it my favorite brushes are DaVinci Kolinsky Maestros 34, a 0 and 1 should be all you really need. If you are in the US that might still be hard to find. Raphael 8404 are an excellent substitute again a 0 and a 1 and of course Winsor & Newton Series 7 (not the miniature series).
DeleteThanks Kris, I bookmarked your post on kolinsky sable from last May. Dick Blick is out of stock on all Kolinsky Sable, unless you want a size 14 or larger. The Da Vinci have no restock date but Rafael and Winsor Newton should be back first week in August. I ended up ordering 4 brushes directly from Rosemary & Co. With shipping they ended up about $9 a piece. The US distributor you listed is out of business.
DeleteOops, I also meant to say they were the series 33.
DeleteIts hard to keep up with the brushes right now. It sounds like Raphael and Winsor/Newton have both managed to get on the band wagon with the paperwork. Hopefully the long wait is over. I'll have to find a source outside the US for my DaVincis though.
