I build so big I my table wasn’t large enough for it – this is a modified Milwaukee Rail Depot with the addition of new section on each end, an awning and custom awning brackets with lighting.
A NEW BUILD
Category: Custom
(SOLD) WALLACE GROCERY 1:87 SCRATCH
Another scratch build from one old photograph and few modern one that I have to turn back the hands of time some 50 years. Could of small modifications from the real building to fit into the allowed footprint. Side will not be seen so not much effort was put into those.
QUICK TIP ON MAKING OLD PEELED AND CHIPPED PAINT
STEP 1: BUILD IT
STEP 2: PAINT IT A BASE COAT (Color is your choice) let it dry.
STEP 3: SPRAY IT WITH HAIRSPRAY (I use Aqua Net it’s cheap) Let it dry completely
STEP 4: PAINT A TOP COAT (Color is your choice) Let it dry.
STEP 5: Take some packing tape (any sticky tape) and stick it to the surface and pull it off, this should give you the peeled and chipped paint effect.
(TIP: If you find the paint is not coming off you can dampen it a little and try again, use caution as you can take off more than you may want to when it’s wet.
STEP 6: Add a little weathering like color washes, scratches, shading, powders, spatters, DAVE’S DECALS, etc.
STEP 7: If you like what you have seal it and then add you window glass and call it done.
Note there are several way to do this and this is just one way.
