A couple months ago I found the Woodland Scenics Gas Station at a swap meet for the princely sum of 3$ It was missing the gas pumps but they were going to be the wrong type for me anyhow.

I've built a number of the Woodland Scenics cast metal kits before so I knew what I was getting into before. I spent about an hour cleaning up the castings with a set of files before spraying the primer onto them:

I used a white primer on the walls since that was going to be their primary color anyhow, and gray on everything else.

Then I used some epoxy and glued the four walls together. I figure it will make it a bit easier to paint them after this assembly. After the glue has fully set up I can continue.

It's been a long time since I built one of those. Looks like your doing a good job.

Thanks.
I did the brick work over the last two evenings:

I used a mix of heritage brick, barn red and expresso paints for the bricks, then a wash of gray to bring out the mortar between them. I'm working on painting the door, windows and trim now

I did the majority of the painting over the weekend.

It was mostly done with craft paints from Micheals. There are a few items that I still have to paint, like the electrical line and box, and the roof.

I also have to add the decals and a bit of weathering to some items.

I added the decals last night.

It must have been a pretty old kit. The dry transfers wouldn't 'transfer' from the sheet to the model. I was able to carefully peel them off the sheet with some tweezers and 'glued' them to the model using some testors dulcote from a bottle. When that was dry I overcoated them with Dulcote out of a spray can.

I finished off the gas station this morning.
Starting with detail painting the workbench

I sprayed it with gray primer, then painted the tools and other objects with a 5/0 spotter brush. Finishing it off with an A&I wash.

I added the roof, and chimney. The roof was painted with Polly-S roof brown, then drybrushed with Creamacoat mudstone (a decent stand in for driftwood.

The workbench is glued onto the side.

Finally I changed the sign from having a cast-metal post to a wooden one. The original snapped off and I thought it would be easier to repair it this way.

Doing a nice job Glen, those old metal kits can be a little tricky.

Thanks for watching.
Now that the project is done, its boxed up to be given to another modeller in my club. When I bought it a few months ago at the swap meet, the recipient was looking at it to buy but I dissuaded him, pointing out that it's a rather difficult kit to build. When he was a couple tables down I bought it with the intention of building it for him. I'll surprise him in a few days with a belated Christmas present.
