Allright folks...im a little late getting this official thread started...but I was a day into this project when I made a fatal cut that cost me the whole project...so I had to start again. But enough with the excuses....lets get to the scratchbuilding.
The place im going to model is called "Bucks Stove Palace" which is a really neat lookin building I found here in Portland OR. The structure itself interested me, with its large store front, awning, and roof lines. As well as the sheer size of the building.
Here are a few pics of the building.

One more.
So I began with the front entryway...and cut it as one single piece.
The I modified a couple of Grandt Line doors to match the doors on the building. I then combined them with the window panes I made from scale lumber. Finally...after some painting, I added them to my front piece.
I used right angle pieces for the molding of the building.
Finally I cut the other three pieces of the primary structure and fastened them together making sure to include roof lines.
And now begins my tedious "Masking tape shingles" technique. Its tedious,....but I love the results.
Thats about all ive accomplished today....its lookin ruff now...but the end product should be great!
