Hey, hey hey!!! 'tis time to get the new week of some great modeling photos going here! Lets make it a great week, shall we!
I have been continuing some work on nthe new section. I am using a partially finished dairy kit that has been sitting on a shelf down cellar for 30 or so years. I looked on line to see what i coulod get in a Dairy kit that would fit the space I have for it... Nope! Nothing... Then I thought of the old partially (and badly) built old dairy kit sitting in the back. Turns out it does fit the area perfectly. I removed the old roofs on it and will rebuild those, decaled it for my old Uncle Eli's Dairy (Howard's Dairy in Canandaigua, NY) and built a stone foundation for it from plaster "Stone" strips from New England Brownstone. The foundation will bring the building up to be able to be serviced by rail in the back. It will work out fine!
Test fitting the building in place:
After a few minor adjustments I stained the strips with Woodland Scenics stone color (Diluted):
The color will lighten over a few days... Then again checked it with the building in place:
The roofing that is still left will be replaced after I get the main roof done. Left it on temporarily to strengthen the structure while I work on it.
