Country: | Posts: 1675 David Clark Fireman Posted - 01/26/2018 :  12:25:14 PM     Maybe because I used double-sided tape I didn't get any warping? I will brace it though, based on the good advice I always get from this forum. Cheers, Dave Country: Canada | Posts: 1119 Terrell Fireman Posted - 01/26/2018 :  2:05:16 PM     Better safe than sorry, Dave. I've had warping occur many months later, it's not always instantaneous.

Country: | Posts: 63 David Clark Fireman Posted - 01/29/2018 :  9:58:22 PM     Thanks Ben, I really like the building and modelling aspect so this will give lots to keep me busy for a long time. Cheers, Dave Country: Canada | Posts: 1119 David Clark Fireman Posted - 02/12/2018 :  4:10:33 PM     So I finally got brave enough to try adding signs to my building walls. I tried to print a reverse sign on some tracing paper and rub it on to the wall while still wet but either it dried too fast or the wall siding was too rough. Anyhow I didn't get a dark enough or legible enough print. I ended up taking a pencil crayon and drawing over top of the print.

Country: Canada | Posts: 1140 David Clark Fireman Posted - 02/12/2018 :  4:33:00 PM     I weathered the walls with some chalks, and added some signs I printed off the internet. I added some dark brown and dark rust paint on the signs to simulate rusty tin plate. The colours I used were Games Workshop Rhinox Hide and craft paint Burnt Sienna because that was what I had on hand. The chalks I used were Doc O'Brians dark earth and some dark rust and some green for mildewy spots. This is a view of the "water side" or what the viewer will see immediately to their front. This is the left side and will have a loading dock on that side that will allow goods to be passed through to the rail side. Here is the rail side which will only be seen at an angle by peering down the length of the track. I stuck in a view block using black pastel drawing paper. This way one can't see through from front to back. I also sprayed the backs of the windows with clear matt spray paint to make it look grimy. Now I need to figure out a roof covering. Anyone have ideas? I was originally thinking slate but then I thought that might be a bit rich for these guys and rolled roof would be more appropriate. Any thoughts, ideas, comments are welcome. Cheers, Dave Country: Canada | Posts: 1119 robchant Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/12/2018 :  4:39:44 PM     I ain't splurging for no slate roof ... LOL. That overall shot looks very good ... nice weathering too ... love the blue. Country: Canada | Posts: 1140 David Clark Fireman Posted - 02/12/2018 :  4:58:54 PM     I'm not happy with the windows. It was my first time using Rusty Stump windows and, while they went together well enough, the trim didn't seem to fit well around the outside. Of course, it was probably me but without any instructions on how to actually install them I was left to my own devices.... always a scary thing. I am hoping that the bloopers will disappear into the back ground once the scene is complete. Thanks for looking. Sorry I made you feel older, Rob. Cheers, Dave Country: Canada | Posts: 1119 robchant Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/12/2018 :  5:02:56 PM     Hi Dave, You didn't make me feel older ... trudging 25km delivering mail today after being off 2 weeks made me feel older and decrepit ... LOL. Take care, Rob. Country: Canada | Posts: 1140 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/12/2018 :  8:22:58 PM     David, Building looks good! I like the looks of the blue Chant sign. A shingled roof would look good on the building. (If interested I show a SBS on page 4 of the Dimone Shoe Factory build on 8/9/2016 under Guff...I'm still trying to figure out how to load a topic.)

Cheers, Dave Country: Canada | Posts: 1119 David Clark Fireman Posted - 02/13/2018 :  12:35:44 PM     I found this printed roof and printed it off on a laser printer, sprayed it with matte clear coat. Not sure if I like it. Seems very busy. May still opt for rolled roofing. Thanks for looking.
