My very first Downtown Deco kits Addams Ave I and II arrived today.
The long warehouse got shifted five elements to the right behind the other building to get some space. I intend to cut the sidewall in two parts and use them with the front as a backdrop building.

Downtown Deco is posting fascinating photos of perfect made kits in some FaceBook groups quite frequently. I understand that at least 90% of the result depends on the paint skill of the modeler..... I will give it a serious try (or shift the warehouse five elements left again )


Some time later are the walls cut (scribe and break like tiles) and glued with Lactate 454. The roof and the inner walls are made of styrene. The doors and windows are fit and put in place for demonstration purposes only. Extreme caution must be used when fitting the window and door rfames into the wall. The wall must be put absolute flat on your table or it will crack (happened to me because a tiny grain of dirt was under the wall) or even break in parts.



Again some time later are white primer from the rattle can and first layers of diluted base colors (Vallejo acrylic paint) applied.


It is amazing how much different the paint interact with the plaster than with styrene. This wall is only twice painted with diluted paint. It is not weathered and got no wash.


And some details in different colors
