ok back om track with challenge got out side walls and windows painted walls are mineral brown also called brown oxide  and windows are white lead (standard white with a touch of yellow ochre  there just set in walls            for now need to wait for paint to cure for a few days  then put in glass . roof over canopy is corrugated metal  just set on supports . not Shure roof on main structure will be metal or shingles what is your opinion ?  need to paint inside with a thick coat of black so when i install  lighting  walls won't have that three mile island look .  also thinking of painting the large door on right REA green as is the REA side of lower floor.

That's great looking!

I always like wooden shingle roofs. But they are time consuming...

RE: Jims kit bash challenge - tompm - 05-06-2022

Looking good!

Good that you're back into it, starting to take shape...

I take it you have a trout stream somewhere on your layout? Big Grin

now i have to touch up brown and paint the deck , the railing is still loose as i need to paint it white and add a gate at top of stairs, after that will work on windows and doors .

Still got two more days, you'll get 're done... Thumbsup

RE: Jims kit bash challenge - jim currie - 06-05-2022

well today is the day. I'm still not happy with finished product, there's a lot of touchups that will need to be done before I install it on layout but that's several months in the future, some small work is left but they will extend past the edges of building so that will also wait till insulation. so here is Ludlow station.
