Don't you model in N scale?That's cool. That's kind of what I'm looking to do. Repurpose an old car and put some history with it.

I do. And that's kind of what I've been looking at. The first ones I missed out on was an entire train with an F unit. Most of the trucks were missing but I didn't care since I was only going to have it stationary anyway. It got too pricey tho. The second had one that looked like an old heavyweight. Today's was just a plain Jane passenger car.Don't you model in N scale?
If so, Bachmann makes some 1880's-1910's passenger cars. I could see one of their combine or coach cars turned into a diner.
Johnny - While I do use an airbrush sometimes, I did not use one on this structure. I used a rattle can of Krylon gray primer, followed by a very light overspray of Krylon black primer to color the tarpaper wall covering. On the concrete base I used the same Krylon gray and then dabbled Polly S "Aged Concrete" over it to simulate a very old concrete effect.Willie - nice photos of your latest structure. Do you use an airbrush?
Just tried to upload a photo again 3X, no luck. "Upload of the file failed"
Finally got the system to accept this photo below, but not the other photo I've been trying to upload - it won't let that one in for some reason.
Willie...In Pix 1 & 2 ?...Are you going to 'Glaze' the Windows and for the Door/Windows did you inset those at all
or are the frames mounted flush to the face of the structure ?...I've never used these parts & pieces but it seems
many pix I see of structures the Windows & Doors are inset...I'm not so sure that's the way I'm going to go about
mounting those items...In my minds eye I see the 'Casings' being mounted flush on the Wall as adding a little bit
of extra visual dimension and depth...Yet another item for me to play with and test different methods...Trig
That's terrible. I will never understand these.Horrific...... Two 15-year-old kids dead.... 19 persons wounded or injured. .... Makes no sense. .... Marshall County High School is on our way to Paducah and we see it from US 68. .... One of the MR forum members lives in Paducah. He posted one of his co-wporkers had her daughter killed this morning by the shooter. .... A contractor had workers here today working on our house. The workers live in Benton. One has son who attends Marshall County school who was not harmed. ..... I was told the shooter was angry because he was gullied on facebook, but I do not know if that is the truth. .... Terrible.

Someone got hold of some bad grits and spewed all over the last one. Had to relocate for sanitary reasons. LolHello all.
Being a fairly new member here, I have a question. I see there was a new Running Bears Coffee shop thread started, but there is still an old one running around. Can someone bring me up to speed on how, and why does a new thread get started?
Thanks,
Mike
The coffee shop goes for 100 pages and a new one is started.Someone got hold of some bad grits and spewed all over the last one. Had to relocate for sanitary reasons. Lol
But seriously, I'm too new here myself to give an accurate answer.

Trig - The windows are glazed, the glass is just really clean! The doors and windows are actually inset, that's the exterior trim that overlaps the outside of the walls. It will be a bit more obvious after I finish up everything; I intend to use a light wash of alcohol/India ink as well as some weathering powders to highlight the door. The structure is still "in process". I also still have to add fencing, lamposts, signs and some additional details before I considered it finished.
This structure represents one built during or after the Great Depression of the 30's, with 1" x 8" boards affixed to a 2" x 4" frame like a fence; then covered with vertical tarpaper fastened with vertical 1" x 4" battens. There's a few places that are barely visible where the tarpaper is torn and the boards show through. See the upper left corner of the front of the building in picture # 1 and two places along the side of picture # 2. Note also that I didn't have the roof properly seated when I took these pictures.
