The foundation is on and so is Kate's sign. For the foundation I decided to try the stone foundation sticks from RSLaserKits. They worked well. They are 5/32" stipwood with a stone pattern laser cut in. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33265 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 02/11/2021 :  6:31:19 PM     Rob, Glen and Bruce nice work. An update on two pieces of rolling stock I am building and detailing. Country: USA | Posts: 11957 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 02/12/2021 :  3:01:31 PM     Bruce Kate's Kitchen just keeps getting better and better. Like the foundation. Robert your building is really starting to come together. Nicely done. Larry the rolling stock looks great and you certainly the are master of details.They'll look great on your layout.

I have now started on the balcony for the structure. Made up the decking from balsa and carved in the board lines, and also the sides are made. The sides are balsa sheet inside, with basswood weatherboards laminated on the outside. To make a strong corner join, I cut a strip of weatherboard siding, and attached it to the back of the balcony side, upside down , that way it will interlock with the boards on the building wall for a tight strong fit. Here's where I'm at, at the moment. Rafters and roof on it next, and more shingles.

It sure beats carving plaster. Larry, I like those well-built cars with the loads. Rob, fine work on the balcony floor and walls. Good trick for a neat joint between walls.

Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33265 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 02/14/2021 :  12:42:37 PM     The current status of Kate's Kitchen. I'm working on the roof. Once I get all the 'slates' on, I will use three different color grey Prismacolor Markers to get the variation of shades of grey to make those 3-tab shingles look like slates. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33265 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 02/14/2021 :  5:02:20 PM     Rob nice adaptation using the siding for a tight joint. The building just keeps getting better and better looking. Bruce the roof is going to look really good when your finished.

I made some good progress on the bridge this past week, managing to assemble it to adding the trackwork on the deck. Country: Canada | Posts: 2513 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 02/16/2021 :  2:57:32 PM     Glenn very impressive job on the bridge so far. That will make a nice addition to any layout.

As I'm using thin, 1mm balsa, for this roof area, I did full length rafters for support, to stop the roof sagging. These are leftover boards from my trawler builds. Roof is on and trial fit of the balcony front. This is Grandline bandstand lattice 3517. Two pieces trimmed to length and joined and a styrene strip across the top. Then more shingles. All blended with various greys,browns and washes, and final dry brushing. Has blended in well with the other roof.
