first steps...

I am not quite sure what kind of building this is gonna be, but I know I don't want a signal tower. Here is my progress with modifications to the second story.

 

[nachoman]

slow progress is still progress

so far, I have jsut re-arranged the upstairs, and added some paint... the real bashing is yet to come.

update

I cut an awning out of the roof. I was hoping the remainder would be large enough for the second floor roof, but it looks like I may have to come up with something else.

I agree, great start.

 

[nachoman]

well, I've got a roof now, but I havent decided what to cover it with. My thought was corrugated steel. I've also modified the stairs so the 2nd floor occupants have a way to get in and out.

Yes I agree NICE job Kevin. :thumb:

Very nice!

 

[nachoman]

Since this structure will represent something that has been sitting in a mining area for 30 years, I figured it needs a little weathering.

 

[Drew1125]

Excellent modeling, Kevin!
Nice job on the weathering!
Can't wait to see what you do with the roof!

a roof...

I made a roof out of some thin, shet brass I had lying around. I rolled it against the side of a 2" pipe fitting to get the corrugations. Looks ragged, but it cost me nothing and fits well. The wooden sidewalk is just scribed styrene sheet.

I still havent decided exactly what this building will be. Mabye the downstairs will be some kind of small store or barber shop.

[nachoman]

with a few more details added... I've finally decided what this will be. it will be a small market that sells meats and dry goods. A carneceria. the shopkeep lives upstairs. all I have left to do are details..a few signs, a vent pipe or two on the roof, window glass, maybe some lighting.

[nachoman]

well, here is the final product: a general store/grocery/carneceria. I tried to use as many kit parts as possible. You should recognize many of the signs as woodland scenics dry transfers I'll try to upload some better photos in a few days - right now I have to use a dialup connection.
