Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9039 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/20/2021 :  7:17:45 PM     George, Vic, Frank, Bernd, Jim, Mark, Mike and Greg thank you all for your kind comments. Appreciate the compliments on the brick boiler too. Got very brave with carving after I finished the foundation... Bernd- Those bracing triangles are actually made from my old reliable .05" chipboard.. Must be the shadows making them appear very dark.... Country: USA | Posts: 4150 steamlocodog Section Hand Posted - 01/20/2021 :  8:58:39 PM     Carl, Another great scratch build! Your plaster work is fantastic. I have this kit somewhere along with other Steam Era Structures kits, I am certain your version will be superior to the kit. Jeff Country: USA | Posts: 86 Pennman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/20/2021 :  9:41:17 PM     As the other modelers have said previously, very nice work. I also like the addition of the right-angle braces.(seen on p. 4) OK Frank? Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4695 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/20/2021 :  10:35:14 PM     Carl very nice. Your usual precise fitting everything together. Great coloring. Jerry "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A.

David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2095 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/21/2021 :  12:44:02 AM     Carl, Firstly thanks for another great update. So muck to take in. Now it's sitting on the foundation we can get a feel for how it will look. That Folk Art Clover green is a really nice colour. I'm rather partial to using green on my windows and doors, and that is a really nice shade. I must see if I can get it here. Was the brick work on the boiler painted by sort of dragging the styrene over the bricks. Interesting technique. Look excellent. And finally I wish I has some shares in the clothes pin company. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Edited by - robert goslin on 01/21/2021 12:46:44 AM Country: Australia | Posts: 2805 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/21/2021 :  11:27:08 AM     Thanks Jeff, Rich, Jerry, Dave G., and Rob! Rob- Folk Art "Clover" is still available... #923 if that helps. dragging the styrene over the bricks ?? No styrene was involved Rob. First a coat of light gray all over the plaster to prime it and color the mortar. Then dry brushed various oranges & reds. A bit of black for soot. It took several tries and re-do's till I was satisfied. Country: USA | Posts: 4150 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/21/2021 :  4:14:00 PM     Carl Thanks for the clarification on the painting. I misinterpreted what you wrote. quote: Painted up with a (square of styrene) cleanout door at the bottom. The styrene is for the door, not the painting. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2805 kebmo1 Engine Wiper Posted - 01/21/2021 :  9:59:45 PM     once again the precision in your work makes for perfection. you never cease to amaze. diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie', until you can find a rock. Country: USA | Posts: 220 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/22/2021 :  12:29:17 PM     No problem Rob, and you're welcome. Kevin- thanks my friend, I do try... Country: USA | Posts: 4150 Col Pryor New Hire Posted - 01/22/2021 :  5:59:29 PM     Hi Carl, your build looks just great so far! I too am building the organ works, an original O scale kit I found on ebay. I particularly like your solution to the little connector between the two main buildings - so fat the most troublesome part of the kit - and the inclusion of the boiler. Nice touch. I ditched the cardstock inner walls in favor of substantial bracing of the wooden walls. I sis it in a timber frame style in the large building as it will get some interior detailing including an organ of course. Also did some rearranging of the relationship of the two buildings to fit the available space. Looking forward to seeing more of your fine work! BTW was interested to see that we’ve chosen the same color scheme! Injust chose a lighter green. Country: | Posts: 5 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/23/2021 :  10:05:03 AM     Thank you Col and welcome! I'll be following your build of the O scale version and I'm not surprised about your color choices. White and green always seem to look good together.... Country: USA | Posts: 4150 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  6:19:59 PM     Catching up on your first post. There is some fine work happening here. Looking forward to your progress. Country: USA | Posts: 11958 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/26/2021 :  8:27:24 PM     Thank you for the compliment Larry, except this isn't my first post. I've been a member since 2012. You may be confusing me with a new member (Col Pryor) who is supposed to post a build of the same structure (albeit in O scale) that I've been working on here for the last few weeks.
