Greg another great looking model. What paint did you use to get the green patina on the pier warehouse?

Thanks! Bruce.
I used "Floquils"( Which as you know is no longer available) Dark Green & Reefer White mixed together to give me that copper patina colour.
I then gave the entire roof a few washes of A&I (Alcohol & India Ink).

Hi everyone, well it's been awhile since I posted anything new with my Magoun pier module.
However I am taking part again in this years Kitchener/Waterloo and area Doubleheaders layout tour this Saturday March 29th, so I wanted to have something new for the module.
So I built a "Fine Scale Miniatures" kit called Skinner's Row and added it to the module.
Here is the kit and how it now looks installed onto the module.

It looks great Greg, I hope to add lights like your to my work someday

Thanks Glen!
Yes including lighting to structures adds another level of realism to them.
I do indeed hope you will give it a try sooner than later.

Greg,
I truly enjoy viewing your modeling work and photography, trust that your layout tour went well?
Bruce

Thanks! Bruce, I'm so glad you enjoy my photos & models!
The layout tour went great! It is a long 12 hour day though, me & my feet were tired by the end of the day.
Here are some better close up pics of the scene while it was still on my workbench.
I still need to add some streetlights and add the power lines to the utility poles and the electrical hook ups to the buildings.
When that's done I will add dirt and weeds throughout the scene.

Hi everyone, here's a better view of how I worked this Skinner's Row scene into the Magoun pier module.

Great use of space, Greg, and the attention to detail is spot on - absolutely nothing looks out of place and right in terms of time modeled. Great addition to Magoun! As usual, your lighting gets me thinking and dreaming.
