Sand Tower - a la Good, Good Whole Wheat Shreddies!

[tetters]

On top of other projects on the go, I finally got around to getting some paint on this sucker. I swapped out the original door frames again for a pair from Grandt Line that I was able to get a hold of at my LHS.

(Still no luck with the mail order thing... )

Same technique as with the Interlocking Tower. A couple of coats of gray primer with some light sanding in between. Followed by three light coats of the Tuscan Red and then a quick shot of box car red to lighten it up with some Rail Brown along the base for dust & dirt. I cannot express how happy I am I invested in an airbrush at this point. I never though painting a model could be so easy. I just wish I had one when I was kid and built a handful of plastic model car kits. I'll let this continue to dry overnight before I paint the windows and door frames to be then followed by the sand pipe installation and the clear styrene windows.

I was fooling around with the camera settings again. The light in the dinning room is not that great for taking photos of this stuff...next time I'll take them on the layout.
