I'll be building Blair Line's Blairstown General Store laser cut kit for the Kitbuild Summer 2014 Challenge. I've had this kit on the shelf for a while, good a time as any to break it out and get crackin'
It has a future home planned on The T & A outside of town down by the river....[attachment=1]image.jpg[/attachment
That's a nice kit, got one on my layout.
When I was a kid I bought baseball cards for a nickel a pack at an old place called Clearwaters back in NC....so it is a must for the T&A...
According to the instructions, step 1 is complete....I primed and painted the walls before assembly and gave them a light scuffing to indicate to Old Man Clearwater it is time to paint....
The foundation was treated with some brown, black, and gray oil pastel crayons rubbed in with my finger...
Step 2- build the rear porch...
Step 2 - Aye! Rear porch complete, I will attach the roof after I paint the roofing material...
Hey Mike, did you do do anything to the roof before you applied the roofing material? Should I apply the paper and then paint the roof??
Steps 3,4 and 5 complete...starting to look like the box....
Paint and apply the roof then time for details...
Gettin pretty close....need to install the roof cap and install the chimney....started cutting out and placing signs, not easy to do with a broken hand in aNy scale....
Nice job so far
That looks great! Dang! You're almost done with the challenge already!
Richard I sprayed the roof flat black, added a chimney and weathered it. Your build looks great!
looks good
