Country: USA | Posts: 12301 postalkarl Fireman Premium Member Posted - 11/11/2004 :  04:17:42 AM     Pete: Just finished painting and assembling the base. Walls are the same color as Tylicks. 80% signal red and 20% box car red. Trim will be white with peeling paint. I need to find a nice big sign for that big blank spot on the rear wall. Next is brace the wall, my favorite job, and then assemble windows and doors.

Looking forward to some pictures. ___________________________________ All the things that others want for me... Can't buy what I want because it's free...

Walls are painted, Not completely weathered yet. Corner posts are installed. It's on to windows and interior bracing. Base is assembled and painted but needs final weathering.

Very nice.

Also like the sign that you picked out for the wall. John Bagley Modeling the Alaska Railroad in HO in Wildwood Georgia.

Thanks also for the update and keep posting those photo's. Jim Country: USA | Posts: 2773 MikeC Administrator Premium Member Posted - 11/11/2004 :  1:22:55 PM       Looking good, Karl! Thanks for the photos. I agree with Bags, the sign goes well with the wall color! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.

The paint mixture is by my friend Frank Bernard.The peeling paint method is by Jim Mooney. It is done by staining the part first. Then black A&I stain is brushed on. Then white acrylic paint is dabbed on with a piece of terri cloth. I use old socks. Clean ones ofcourse. As for the sign that one comes with the kit. I need a huge sign for the rear wall. It has a very large blank area. I'll find something. Karl S.
