Gotta love urban decay for modeling anyway :). Bill Country: USA | Posts: 237 MSIGMON Engine Wiper Posted - 04/30/2014 :  6:16:17 PM     Karl, Happy to see you coming along nicely. Had to pull out an old issue of Railroad Craftsman 11/61 to see the 1st time Earl Smallshaw built Tenement. Good looking plans for both the front & back & sides. Earl was one of the masters that stuff still looks great today. I often think about the stuff he had to work with back in the 60's compaired to what we used today. For stucco he used beach sand from Florida because of the fine grain.

You seem to be in great spirits. Your new photography lighting sounds exciting and look forward to seeing the " new trees ". cheers mate till next time Country: Australia | Posts: 5830 Karl Osolinski Fireman Posted - 05/07/2014 :  8:31:44 PM     Hello, Thanks to the folks who have been following along and the kind replies on the work. This is where the first three buildings are... at a crummy work bench photo. I want these tenements to look very cruddy since they are located on the wrong side of the tracks. The front wall of the fourth tenement is colored. It's done with oil paints thinned with naptha. I like the look. Cheers, Karl O.

Wow-o-wow! You have really captured the "crud" beautifully without making a mess of things. Those buildings & settings really convey the feeling you're after and yet have all the delicate detail and subtle touches needed to convey realism. Outstanding.

As I was making the awning for the bakery using a brass wire frame and brown crepe paper... it hit me. The crepe paper looks like HO scale tree bark. So, I shaped a 3/8" piece of balsa and hit it with spray adhesive and rolled it onto the crepe paper. Trimmed the excess off and soaked it with diluted Elmer's Glue. I like it...I'll get to the new photo stuff as soon as I can...it's very cool Karl O.

Country: Australia | Posts: 5830 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 05/07/2014 :  10:37:16 PM       Karl, Tree bark from crepe paper- spectacular find ! Looks great! Thanks for sharing! Country: USA | Posts: 3187 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 05/08/2014 :  01:44:43 AM     "I like the look." Me too. And that tree is phenomenal. Do you think it would work in O scale? As you think, so will you be. Country: USA | Posts: 22599 postalkarl Fireman Posted - 05/08/2014 :  07:37:55 AM     Hi Karl: Very cool. I really like the front wall for the other building. Karl S.

Kit or scratch. love the front door & arch windows Mike Sigmon Jacksonville, FL MSIGMON Country: USA | Posts: 131 HWCRR Engine Wiper Posted - 05/08/2014 :  09:18:20 AM     Sir, you have a fine hand and eye.
