Another week of trying to fit in modeling makes progress very slow. With the walls basically finished I felt like I could spend time getting the windows ready. While I tried to be as precise as possible I figure there will be some shimming necessary to get good fits. There are 30 tall 12-Pane double hung windows, 12 short 12-Pane double hung windows, 2 display windows, 1 double door entrance and 3 sets of warehouse doors.
Most of the components are from Tichy, but the smaller 12 pane windows are Grandt Line. I cleaned everything up and headed to the spray booth. I mounted everything with double sided tape to popsicle sticks and then glued those popsicle sticks to the top of the cheap lazy susan I use as a spinner in the booth. I primed everything with Badger Grey Stynylrez grey primer, followed by a brown (Vallejo Panzer Aces but the label is to worn to read the actual color) and then an off white (Vallejo Panzer Aces German White Tanker Crew).
Now everything is ready to install into the walls, just need to find the time to do it.
