QRL&PCo station from cereal box

Next, the building was primed with Krylon white primer. It shown rought spots that were sanded down.



It was then painted with enamel paint. I decided to use it after acrylic was altered the cardbox. As you can see, the paint made the scribbing less visible.



When paint was dry, I use a point to resharpen the scribbing.







Roofing was made with laser printer paper. This station ws tin roofed in a typical fashion called "à la canadienne". This roofing technic is another traditional feature of the area. It may looks like the more familiar diamond-shaped tin roof, but altogether is a very different beast.



At first, I thought using motif scissors to get the angular pattern, but it prove to be wrong. Getting regular shape with theses scissors isn't as easy as it seems. Also, it give the diamond-shaped pattern, not "à la canadienne" pattern. I used it on some structure in the past.







I finally removed all the work I did and tried another method. BTW, paper was glued in place with diluted carpenter glue.
