Nice job Rich. Did you scratch build that vent also? I kinda like that thing. If so what materials did you use. Whose brick walls did you use or are they also scratch?

Al & Rick thanks. I didn't do my usual follow along as I build it sort of thing since I've been busy with the store so I'm glad George asked, and you guys enjoyed, the brief outline of what I did.
Yes, George I love to collect stuff to reuse
Thank you John I appreciate the compliment.

Karl a compliment from you I hold in high regard, thanks.
I have to say that this structure is not a true scratch build where everything is created from base materials as in the "good old days" but it's a bit more sophisticated then a kitbash.
The short answer is, the vent is an exhaust motor and ductwork from a bag of Walthers ladders and wall vents I had in "the bin". They were modified a bit, painted, and dusted with Bragdon powders. Two walls are some Downtown Deco scraps that I bought last summer from Randy and two walls are Bristol Board. Of course the clapboard is the standard siding material.
If you go back to earlier in the thread I responded to George D's request for a bit of info on the construction process where I outline the whole thing.
Again thanks for the compliment

Wow, Rich. Don't spend too much time looking for mistakes. I really like your stone/brickwork. I think too often, stone work is overdone and looks kind of caricaturish, but yours is very natural and goes well with the wood weathering.

Your quite welcome. Good work desevres to be recognized. I think you did a great job on that structure. Are the doors on the siding wall from Rusty Stumps? Thanks for the info on the vent. Also I should have asked earlier what did u use for your stucco? Just curious as it looks good.

Thanks George and Matthew I appreciate any and all pats on the back I can get though I'm starting to get a bit round shouldered 
Karl the siding wall door comes from a Bar Mills 1-Kit (back in June I did a tutorial of a small structure using one of these kits - http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/t...?TOPIC_ID=9092). There pretty handy to have in the bin. The stucco is DecoArt Sandstone applied with a palette knife. It gives the Sandstone a different texture.

Just for fun I'm just gonna poke this old thread alive. Recently I got this email from an old friend, PaulS with these photos...
Not bad for a 15 year old build. PaulS added the signage. As a side note the desk on the dock was built by the late AVRR-PA (Don Reed, Pittsburgh, PA).

Rich,
A Golden Oldie for sure! It really held up with age. :up: :up:

Great little structure Rich, and the signage is perfect for a very much missed person in my eyes and mind!

Oldie but goodie. I had the pleasure of meeting Don Reed at his club's layout in Pittsburgh.
